Windows 10: High Definition Audio Device - Not Plugged In

Hi,

I've been having issues with "High Definition Audio Device".
It says that i don't have it plugged in.

Methods that i tried:
1. Updating drivers.
2. Reinstalling drivers.
3. Uninstalling drivers, letting Windows auto install it.
4. Commands: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth | sfc /scannow

5. Different audio jacks.

6. Different audio output devices.

​

AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In

John,

Thanks for your suggestion, but the sound playback device was greyed out again this morning and reads: "AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In".

Once again, uninstalling AMD High Definition Audio Device and deleting the driver in the Device Manager and rebooting brought the sound device back.

Any other ideas?

 

AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In

After the anniversary update 1607, the sound playback device is greyed out daily and reads: "AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In". Using Device Manager to reinstall (sometimes works) or uninstall, and then rebooting always brings back the playback
device with a green checkmark and reads "AMD High Definition Audio Device Default Device".

The problem is that within 24 hours the sound playback device will be greyed out with the Device Not Plugged In message. This regardless of the PC being shut down, put to sleep, or kept from going to sleep.

This was never a problem under 7, 8 or 10 - until the anniversary update.

Hardware: HP -> displayport -> Dell U2713 -> Dell sound bar. The Dell monitor can take the audio from HDMI or displayport signal, and has an audio port that the sound bar jack plugs into.

Again, the problem is that the sound playback device needs to be repaired daily. What can be done to prevent Windows from disabling it on a daily basis?
