    Audio is suddenly not working. Red X on speaker icon.


    While on headphones on my laptop windows 10, the audio cut out and seems to no longer be available on my laptop. The speaker icon has a red x on it. I restarted the laptop twice.


    Any ideas?

    :)

    Red X by my speaker icon.

    Red X by my speaker icon. Message says "No Audio Output Device Installed" but the speakers are plugged in and work fine. I checked them on another computer.

    Speaker icon has a Red X on it, "no audio output device is installed"

    I have windows 10. I purchased my HP computer with Beats Audio packaged. I had to reset my computer and when I did it came back with Speaker icon has a Red X on it, "no audio output device is installed" and no beats audio icon or installation. Since this
    was bundled I did not receive the software to reinstall Beats Audio. I have tried updating drivers, plugging and unplugging my speakers and bass (Logitech Z4) to no avail. What are my options.

    Audio is suddenly not working. Red X on speaker icon.

    Red X on speaker icon after Fall Creators Update

    After i reboot my pc sometimes (quite often) the audio icon has a red X over it. Audio works properly, but when i click on the icon (to change audio source for example) Windows runs the problems detector, than i get the normal speaker icon back, until i
    reboot again...

    Never had this issue until i updated to fall creator update.

    It's pretty annoying, any fix?
