Windows 10: Inspiron 15 5577 No Audio Output Device is installed Windows 10 1903

So I used to use Windows 1803 and one day I got this issue out of nowhere where my audio stopped working, my Realtek audio driver disappeared from device manager and I got that message above my volume mixer icon. After some research most people as well as those who had the same problem said that it was due to a windows update. I did not know what to do but the problem went away after a few days. Some time later I updated to 1809 and the same issue came back a few days ago. I tried to update to 1903 but the issue persists. I cannot rollback to 1803 and my realtek audio driver keeps getting automatically uninstalled upon rebooting even when i reinstall it. Some people said updating an Intel SST driver fixed the problem for them, however I do not have this driver in the first place. Please what can I do?

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.
