Windows 10: IntelR Smart Sound Technology IntelR SST OED Not starting correctly

Hello, after using the ps4 remote play my speakers now have a red x and say there is no device installed. They worked for the few minutes I used ps4 remote play but I don't know if they were still working when I closed it as I wasn't paying attention to my tool bar when I shut my laptop.

I don't know for sure if the ps4 remote play program caused it or if an update occurred while my laptop was closed but I got on the following morning and my speakers were no longer working.





I have uninstalled the driver without deleting it and reinstalled it by restarting my laptop, I completely deleted the driver and reinstalled it through both the Intel Driver & Support Assistant and Driver One and neither worked.

I tried to reinstall it by picking it directly and it just says it cant open, I do have 2 options for drivers but both give me the same answer.





My sound, video, and games controller section in device manger doesn't show unless I use the "show hidden options" button. and theres no intel high definition option like others with this problem have, only my Bluetooth headphones show.




And plugged in headphones don't work but my Bluetooth headphones do.

Now I could just use my Bluetooth headphones until I inevitably get another laptop in a few years but I'd like to try and fix this as it's a huge inconvenience.


I've been researching this for 3 days now and have tried every method I found twice or more.

I even restored my laptop to factory condition yesterday and that didn't fix it either.

I have no updates to download, everything says it's up to date.

I'm lost on what to do. My laptop is a Lenovo ideapad S340-15IWL.

I just installed the recommended lenovo sound package called lxs3050fu990.exe and it didn't help either.


This is my laptop as of 3/16/2021. I'm not gonna touch anything until I get a reply so I don't mess anything up.

Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R) SST) OED !!!Problems!!!

Hi!

I am having the exact same problem listed above, and successfully uninstalled the driver, and after restarting it reappeared again with the yellow triangle. I installed the Assistant but it did not help in reinstalling or updating the "Intel(R) Smart
Sound Technology (Intel(R) SST) OED" driver. What next?

 

Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R) SST) OED !!!Problems!!!

So... I am having problems with my Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R) SST) OED driver... I look on device manager and It has a little triangle with an ! mark inside of it... I have disabled, enabled, updated the driver but nothing seems to be working...
When I go to uninstall the driver it asks if I want to delete the driver software for this device... I am not sure how to properly uninstall and then reinstall it... Could you please help me? Also if that does not work what are some other options I could do
to get it fixed?

 

Intel Smart Sound Technology

I'm having problems with sound drivers. Yesterday I had no sound at all and after extensive query, downloaded the RealTek audio driver which brought back the sound but now I am getting sound through the display when my headphones are plugged in. In device
manager I see a yellow triangle for the Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST) and the device status under the general tab says "This device cannot start. (Code 10) The driver was not loaded because it failed its initialization call." I have tried to update the
driver but it says I have the most current driver. The other two options under the driver tab are to disable the device or uninstall the device and I don't know whether to try either of these options. Could this driver be related to my sound coming through
the display when headphones are plugged in? Any suggestions?
