Windows 10: No Audio At All on Win10 and a "Pain Hi Definition Audio Device listed

Suddenly this machine has lost all sound.


audio trouble shooter couldn't help. said the service wasn't responding.


checking services and stopping, starting, restarting, setting to automatic hasn't helped.


nothing has worked.


But I wonder about the sole audio device listed: "pain hi definition audio device it says. I have never seen that before


Perhaps I should be uninstalling that device and reverting back to whatever it should be. But I don't know how to do that even if it should be done.


There's no special audio card or anything - it is supposed to be using the onboard audio of an Asrock H110M. A custom build. With an intel pentium G4400 @3.3G if any of that signifies anything at all. I suppose that could well be 'Pain' thing. I just never remember seeing it before. It's right that it's a paint though.



Any help?

High Definition Audio Device drivers missing

Hi Davide

The High Definition Audio drivers are built into Windows already

Right click that device in Device Manager, choose 'Update Driver

Then choose 'Browse my computer for Driver Software' - 'Let me pick from a list of available drivers'

If you do not see the default High Definition Audio device, untick 'Show Compatible Hardware'

On the left, select Microsoft, then on the right scroll down to find 'High Definition Audio Device Version 10.0. . . . .
