Windows 10: A device attached to the system is not functioning Sound problem

I am running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 on an HP PC and when I hover over the speaker icon on the taskbar it says no audio output device is installed. In the Device Manager it shows under Other devices Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with an exclamation point. I tried updating the driver and the message is The drivers for the device are not installed. Code 28

A device attached to they system is not functioning.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.


I've tried that as well as the troubleshooter and nothing fixes the problem. The sound was working after I updated to Windows 10 but is not working now. I reset the computer hoping that would help but it didn't.
