    Audio Outputs not detected when using USB


    When plugged in to any USB port, windows 10 does not detect any audio devices and displays that there are none. The sound control panel says there are no audio devices installed. Tried two different sets of speakers with the same results. Other devices are recognized in all the same USB ports, including a bluetooth adapter through which I can connect a pair of bluetooth headphones without issue. Both sets of speakers are recognized when using the 3.5mm jack, but will sporadically cut out for 2-5 seconds.


    I have followed all steps recommended in this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/windows-10-does-not-detect-usb-speakers/134668bb-1985-4d36-904b-0965976ebd0b


    This includes using both audio and USB troubleshooters, updating/reinstalling all audio and USB drivers, creating a new user account, running system file checker through the command prompt, and performing a clean boot with all start up programs disabled. All to no avail.

    :)

    My audio output devices have disappeared from my HP laptop.

    I have an HP laptop running Windows 10. My audio output devices have disappeared. Not just no devices installed, but no devices listed in Device Manager. Tried troubleshooting and still no devices found. Tried connecting USB speakers, but those were not
    detected either.

    Suggestions?

    No audio output: Win 10 Pro

    Hi Nelson,

    We would like to know more about your concern regarding the audio output of your computer. Have you received any error messages? After checking the audio drivers on the
    Device Manager, have you updated the audio drivers on your computer?

    I would suggest you to check again the Device Manager and follow the steps below:

    • In the Control Panel, remove the given sound software
    • Remove also the sound driver of the computer in the Device Manager
    • Restart the computer
    • Open Device Manager and click Scan for hardware changes
    • If there are no audio device that can be detected by the computer, you can update the chipset driver from the manufacturer's website.

    Please keep us posted for us to assist you further.

    Audio Outputs not detected when using USB

    No Audio Output Device is Installed

    Hi,

    You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

    2. Select "playback devices".

    3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

    5. Save the changes.

    Let us know the result.
