Windows 10: Internal speakers don't work after Windows 10 clean installation

I have an older HP Touchsmart which I upgraded from W7 to W10 several years ago with no problem. I recently received an alert from Microsoft recommending a clean re-installation of Windows 10 for some functionality issue, so I initiated the recommended fix. While the reinstallation was going on, I heard the internal speakers make a "power on" pop noise and when the installation finished, the speakers no longer work. I can use a Bluetooth headset just fine, but no more speakers or corded headphones. I went through the >uninstall>search for hardware changes>update driver sequence and got an error message saying "Windows found drivers for your device but encountered a problem while attempting to install them." And "A device attached to the system is not functioning." I assume that would be the speakers. I'm looking to get a new desktop anyway, but I'm just really curious if this can be fixed. Thanks in advance for any help.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
