Windows 10: Audio Deleted During Reinstall

I reinstalled Win 10, deleting my apps but retaining my files. Unfortunately, Win no longer recognizes any audio input or output devices. Where did they go and how do I get them back? Thanks.

:)

 

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.

 

Can not record audio.
