Windows 10: Laptop isn't detecting any wired audio device.

My system is not picking up any audio output devices speakers/headphones when I plug them into the audio jacks, I have installed the latest Realtek Audio Driver.I tried running the RPC app but shows an error saying "Can not connect to RPC services", and when I tried to follow the guide on the link above, I could not find theRealtek HD Audio Universal Service in SERVICES.EXE. Kindly advise on how I can resolve this, thanks.My Laptop is Dell Precision 7520. Windows10

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Laptop unable to detect and use mic from wired earphones.

Thank you for getting back to me, Jeremy!

That option can only be available if you have the Realtek Audio Console/Control app. I think we have already covered all possible troubleshooting steps to have it installed on your system. Here's a summary of what we've tried so far:

> Testing with Other Devices — Verified that the issue persists with non-Apple wired audio devices.

> Reinstalling Drivers — Reinstalled the Realtek(R) Audio driver from the Device Manager.

> Updating BIOS and Audio Drivers — Downloaded and installed the recent and recommended BIOS and Audio driver from the manufacturer's support page.

> Checking Sound Settings — Verified that the wired headphones are not being detected in the Sound settings and Device Manager.

> In-Place Upgrade — Performed an in-place upgrade of Windows 11 to resolve potential system errors.

Despite these efforts, the Realtek Audio Console still encounters errors, and the audio device is not properly detected.

If the Realtek Audio Console is not working and the device is not being properly detected, resetting your computer might be the best next step. Please consider doing a reset with the option to keep your files. Although you will choose to keep your files, it is always a good practice to back up important files.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

No computer detection on wired network

I have a household network that is hard-wired; the wireless is only for hand-held devices. I've been experiencing an issue lately where my wired desktop stopped detecting or being detected by the other computer and drive on the wired network but is detecting
and being detected by a SURFACE on the wireless network.

My desktop computer- Does not detect the other computer or the network drive (wired) but detects the Surface on the wireless network. Surface asks for credentials despite private network access settings. Allows access after sign in.

The other computer- Does not detect my desktop computer. Detects and accesses the network drive (wired). Detects and accesses the Surface on the wireless network. The Surface does not ask for credentials for access to folders.

The Surface- Only detects itself. No other computers in the network.

It would appear that my desktop computer has experienced network bugs since the zillions of updates the last couple of months. The network was well-connected when I first installed the network drive. Here are some notes of what I've been trying in order
to avoid duplication of suggestions and replies.

• I have set/reset the router.
• I have tried uninstalling the recent updates with no change in the situation. After those experiments, I upgraded to Win10 Version 2004 to bring the system back up to date.
• I have already done the SMB on/off changes and some of the service.msc adjustments with no luck. There may be more from what I've been seeing but there is also no consistency so I'll wait to hear what y'all have to say.
• All of the devices have been set in "network and sharing" to allow detection and sharing on the network and password protection is disabled.
• The printers are wired as well and are detected and used by all computers in the house.
• It is interesting to me that the devices are visible under Network>Media Devices, but the related computers aren't listed under Network>Computer.

My ideas in order of preference:

1. Pray you all to have a solution that involves Windows configurations settings only.
2. Find software to override Windows 10 Networking and manage my home network (4 Desktops, 2 printers, and a NAS).
3. Learn how to assign the computers with hard IP addresses and force detection. (But that won't help my NAS.)
4. Run a repair of Windows 10.
5. Clean install Windows 10.
