Windows 10: No Audio Devices Installed - after windows update

Windows 10 must have done an automatic update, and now I have no audio on my Dell laptop. The sound icon the the task bar has a red x. When I complete the audio troubleshooter it only says "Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem" but when I go to view detailed information it detects an audio issue.

I have tried every troubleshooting suggested. I have checked for windows updates. I am up to date. I have restarted my laptop. That didn't help. I have uninstalled the audio devices from the device manager, then restarted my computer and reinstalled.


What else can I possibly do to get the sound to work?

Modem on HD Audio device not installed....

I just bought a Toshiba Equiem P200D 139 lappy which came with Vista. Having spent a couple of days with it its obvious that Vista is a bit too much for it (or maybe it was the pre-installed bloat...), so I've installed XP Pro on it. So far so good, its much more responsive now, and I've found most of the drivers for it (a bit of a chore since Toshiba don't list any XP drivers!!).

Device Manager only shows one remaining triangle, beside Modem on HD Audio device, and I just can't find a driver for it! Tried right clicking and update driver, which worked for a few devices, but this one obstinately refuses to work. Any ideas?*Bang Head :banghead:

 

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.
