    Cannot access the Sound control panel


    I've got to run out for awhile. If sfc doesn't fix it, you can then run Run SFC Command in Windows 10 Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials .

    If that doesn't do it, perform what I posted in post #4. If by chance after rebooting the driver doesn't reload, install it with the one you downloaded.

    I'll check in in a few hours. Of course there are others here to help as well. Good luck.

    Not the worse thing, but not good either. Do the DISM one I posted.

    Just got done with a shower and have a few minutes. Thought I'd peek in.

    Sorry, didn't think of that. Unplug it and plug it back in. Did you reinstall the Realtek driver?

    How'd it go with DISM?

    Now that you have your system information, it would help if you filled out your system specs in your profile here by clicking on the Settings button on the top of any forum page, then look in the left column. It does help a lot.

    I filled in the info I could. Rebooting the audio didn't do anything. Also, what is DISM again, sorry.

    Yes I see. I suggest you use Custom built for the Manufacturer/Model Number. All Series is confusing. Was that the company name of the woman that built it?

    Sorry again. I linked the sfc tutorial again. I guess I goofed on the copy/paste. It's Use DISM to Repair Windows 10 Image Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

    Did you reinstall the Realtek driver? If so, did it fix the issue?

    Okay I'll do that; the person that built the PC wasn't under any company. Also I just found a Realtek thing under Sound, video, and game controllers, but I can't get it back. Now the sound is coming from my monitor and I can't change it.

    Where can I find the description? I assume under Properties but nothing is popping up. Should I try looking for an update?

    Looks like this, under properties. This is only an example.

    Whatever it says. Post it.

    If you uninstalled everything there, then all you'll see is "Audio inputs and outputs".

    Did you load the Realteck driver?
