"No audio devices are installed" issue in Windows 10

I am running Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Precision 5510. My BIOS information lists my sound controller as "Realtek ALC 3266". But a couple of days ago I suddenly stopped getting any sound. When I go to the "Playback" tab in the "Manage Audio Devices" screen,
it says "No audio devices are installed."

In the Device Manager itself, under "Sound, video and game controllers", I can see an entry for "Realtek Audio" if I check "Show hidden devices" in the "View" tab. But it is greyed out.

I have tried running Windows 10 troubleshooting but it can't detect any problems.

Suggestions?

No Audio Driver Detected and No Sound, Video, and Game Controller tab in device manager.

I just got this laptop recently, it's Windows 11 and right now it's saying that my laptop has detected no audio output and input drivers. Tried to fix it in the device manager but the supposedly sound, video, and game controller is non-existent. It doesn't show any tab regarding audio. I tried the legacy hardware install but it errors too. I attached the screenshot below. What else can I do to download the audio driver and get my sounds back? Basically, I tried every step provided in the Microsoft support list to fix it but nothing changed.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Anthony.

I understand how difficult it is, when the device or app won't work in the way it should. I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the Audio Adapter. Follow these steps

- Press Windows key + X select "Device Manager".

- Locate Sound, video and game controller and Expand the Sound, video and game controller to show your Audio driver as "High Definition Audio Device".

- Right click on the "High Definition Audio Device" and choose "Uninstall".

- Restart your computer and the Audio Adapter driver will automatically reinstall.

If does not work, I would suggest to update Audio Adapter. Follow these steps

- Press Windows key + X select "Device Manager".

- Locate Sound, video and game controller and Expand the Sound, video and game controller to show your Audio driver as "High Definition Audio Device".

- Right click on the "High Definition Audio Device" and choose "update driver".

- Select "Search automatically for updated driver software and then follow the instruction on the screen.
