  2. lost Sound Audio after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you follow the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1: Type “windows updates” in the search bar and press Check for updates option. If updates are remaining, kindly install all of remaining windows updates.

    Method 2: If this doesn’t help I would recommend you try updating the Audio drivers from the manufacturer's website and check if the issue persists.

    Follow the steps to update the audio drivers:


    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.

    • Expand the Sound, Video and game controllers.

    • Right-click on the Sound card and click on Update driver software.

    • Restart the computer and check.

    Method 3:Try Uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sound drivers. Follow the steps below


    • Press Windows key + R, type “devmgmt.msc” in the run prompt.

    • Expand the Sound, video and game controllers, right-click the sound card, click uninstall.

    • Restart the computer, let Windows detect the driver and install by itself.

    • Manually download the latest drivers by going to the manufacturers Website.
    Hope this helps. Please respond for further queries.

    Regards,

    Sound Card Cannot be found on ACER aspire E5-511P


    "sound card cannot be found". Does the Device Manager list it, and with an error? Or is it no listed in the Device Manager?
    If its not listed at all, that suggests the BIOS is not detecting it or there is a BIOS error. Windows will not detect it if the BIOS does not.

    You can try a BIOS reset and see if that helps, if its not being detected by the BIOS.
