Windows 10: Problem : No audio devices are installed

I just received delivery of an Intel Compute Stick.
After setting things up including an update to 16299.214, I found out Cortana cannot hear me.
I right clicked at the sound icon at system tray > Recording devices, I got this..............





Then I checked on Voice Recording app and I got this......






Device manager :




I ran the Recording Audio Troubleshooting. It cannot find a solution.
What should I do ?
I have installed Realteh HD and I can play music with no issue.

Hi Zach,

Please see my reply to Soapy, it was intended for you.

 

No Audio devices are installed

What is the make and model of your computer? Did you try downloading the audio drivers from the manufacturer's website?

 

Do you have a microphone plugged in? *Smile

It doesn't look like there's one built in to the stick and I'm guessing your TV doesn't have a mic either.

 

No, I do not have a mic plugged in.
Did not know I had to do that.
A silly question : what kind of mic I need ?

 

The Stick only has a USB port so the simplest thing would be to get a USB microphone. Plenty of those on Amazon.

 

Thank you.
First time I encountered such situation.

 

Problem solved.
