I have tried everything that I know of to fix this issue. I have uninstalled, troubleshooted and reinstalled so many times that I am not real sure what I have installed or updated!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT!!!!Thank you!

Solved the problem for me.

Device Manager->System Devices->Intel Smart Sound Audio Controller (or similar)

Roll Back to "High Definition Audio Controller"

Right Click-> Update Driver

Browse My Computer for driver software

Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer

Select "High Definition Audio Controller" Next

Once installed reboot and problem should be solved.

Intel High Definition Audio Driver

I had this exact same problem after downloading the first cumulative update and some drivers a few days after installing version 1809. The old driver should still be kept on your system; you shouldn't need to download anything. What makes this problem especially
confusing is that, (at least in my case) it needs a "Realtek High-Definition Audio" driver, because the actual hardware was made by Realtek Semiconductors, and is merely based on an Intel standard. The procedures I used are:

1. Go to Devices and Printers in the Control Panel
2. right click on your computer's name and click properties
3. click the hardware tab, the malfunctioning device should be at the top of the list (indicated by something like a yellow triangle in the bottom right corner of its icon)
4. click properties for the malfunctioning device
5. in the individual device property window click change settings
6. go to the driver tab and click update driver
7. Click the second option browse my computer, then click let me pick
8. under manufacturer select Realtek, then select Realtek High-Definition Audio and continue with driver installation

This should reinstall the original Realtek High-Definition Audio
driver.
