Windows 10: "No Output Device Found" issues

Hi, so I have a Lenovo Yoga A940 All-In-One with the latest update of Windows 11 installed as of 8/15/22. I postponed the newest update because I had projects open I wasn't ready to close yet but while my computer was in sleep mode it updated anyways... Now it's saying "no output device found" this all-in-one LITERALLY has speakers built into it. Pleas, does anyone know how to get my all-in-one to detect its own built in speakers again?

:)

 

no audio output device installed

I've tried every step that was suggested, still getting no audio output device installed.

 

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.
