Windows 10: No Audio Output Device is Installed. Tried many thing without any results

Yesterday I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 I know, it took me a long time using the Windows Media Creation Tool, everything was working perfectly until this morning, when I had no sound.

There's only been one update and I haven´t changed any hardware, and all wires and cables are fine. In the device manager it shows that all drivers under "Sound, video and game controllers" have a Warning Symbol Yellow Triangle, and I've tried updating and uninstalling before restarting the system each one of them in every conceivable way.


I've checked a lot of forums for possible solutions, reinstalled Windows 10 again, used the help of two online Microsoft Support agents without any results.


My motherboard is an ASRock 990 Extreme3, I'm not running a dedicated audio card and my microphone and speakers work perfectly in other devices as they have standard jack connections not USB.


I'm starting to lose hope, can anybody help me?

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.

 

No audio output device

Hello!
I have a common problem: my Windows 10 has No Audio Output Device.
System configuration:

• Lenovo Legion Y520-15IKBN (laptop)
• Windows 10 Pro, version 1909, build 18363.535;
• Current updates;

Device manager shows these audio devices:

• High Definition Audio Device (driver version 10.0.18362.356)
• Intel Display Audio (10.27.0.6)
• ASUS Xonar U3 (10.0.8.2164)

i.e. the problem persists even with an external (USB) audio device, recognized by the system.

I performed a sanity check on this issue. Sound works when I boot into Ubuntu live. Therefore, it is not a hardware problem, and is indeed a Windows problem.

Solutions that have not worked so far:

1. Audio troubleshooter (issues found: check audio device, nothing else)
2. Rolling back drivers
3. Uninstalling audio devices
4. Uninstalling any audio-related devices, incl. the likes of bluetooth speakers
5. Updating audio drivers (from both built-in drivers and from manufacturer's site)
6. Installing a generic audio device (installing a generic USB audio device does not succeed, and installing a generic Realtek device resulted in a BSOD)

Do you have any ideas for fixing this?
