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

• 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.

 

VIA Audio driver FIX


Hi there

From the insider forum Cliff S (Thanks) referred to this Fix seems to work finally for me

....(from the site)

1. Open Playback Devices
2. Right-click the output device (in my case, "Speakers") and set as Default Device.
3. Select the device, and click on the Properties button
4. Go to the Enhancements tab and check "Disable all enhancements"

Restart your apps for sound to work, but that was it.

...................................


I still suggest though that updates should be allowed to be optionally installed or not until fixes are available for problematic drivers.
Cheers
