Windows 10: Intel Display Audio device missing

This issue stemmed from not being able to play audio on the TV with an HDMI cord. My sister and I have identical laptops - hers can play audio on the TV and mine cannot. I tried every fix I could and nothing worked, however I did notice my computer didn't have "Intel Display Audio" listed in the device manager under "sound, video and game controllers." See screenshots Is this an issue and if so, is there a fix? I'm certain this will fix the HDMI sound issue too...






Specs:

Dell Inspiron 5379

Intel i7-8550U

8GB Ram

No audio device is installed (How to fix?)


Since you uninstalled the Intel Display audio and you no longer have audio, that suggests you are using HDMI (??) If this is the case then the Realtek is not being used and not causing your problem.

First step as mentioned is to reinstall the Intel Display Audio.

I have probably very similar, maybe exactly same problem. Intel HD stopped work after last W10 updates.

In computer is Intel i7-7500U (Intel HD Graphics 620), installed is W10 Pro 10.0.17134, Intel driver 25.20.100.6326

Before that, there was older version of this Intel driver, i tried remove device and detect it again, update driver trough Device Manager, update driver by "Intel Driver & Support" and tried some Intel utility. It updated driver for Bluetooth and WiFi, but not for audio and it still don't work after all that attempts.

There are no error messages in logfiles.

And that's all. Driver seems to be newest as possible but W10 still says "Cannot found any sound device", analog audio output is silent, HDMI audio doesn't work either. HD audio in device manager is detected, but Windows cannot use Intel driver for it and i don't know why.
