Windows 10: Audio Not Working after numerous fixes...

Hi there,

I hope someone can help. Seemingly out of nowhere my audio simply ceased working. There are no devices available for output or input. The sound on the task bar is x'd out, clicking on it goes only to the troubleshooter, which accomplishes nothing. I've deinstalled and reinstalled drivers thru the device manager several times, gone back to previous drivers, basically seem to have tried just about everything I can find searching and on this forum. Nothing seems to work.


My system: Scan Gamer, Intel Core i5 8400 "Coffee Lake", 8GB DDR4, 6GB EVGA GTX 1060 SC, 240GB SSD, 1TB, Win 10


Thanks much!

Numerous audio devices - why?

Looks like you have audio drivers installed for your AMD card. If you don't use it, you should be able to just uninstall that aspect of AMD drivers. I don't use the Audio through my Nvidia card, so I just don't install that driver.

Or, just ignore them as you suggest.
