    Sound card not visible in Device Manager, no audio outputs found


    Hi,I've lost audio on my Win 11 laptop, hoping someone can help. I've tried Googling the issue but nothing so far.I've tried to uninstall the audio driver RealTek HD Audio from the Device Manager but after a restart the audio driver has completly dissapeared. I've gone to view-show hidden devices but it's not there. I've gone and manually installed the driver but same result.Volume setting say 'no audio devices found'. Troubleshooter doesn't find anything.In Services, Windows Audio is set to start automatically.Bluethooth audio headset and speakers are working fine. Any idea what the issue c

  2. No Audio Output Device is installed messagem, but sound card is seen in Device Manager

    After some updates were installed (some of those failed to install, in case it is relevant) audio started to behave strangely.
    It shows red cross on the speaker icon, and shows message "No Audio Output Device is installed"

    First of all, I've checked Device Manager, only to find mt sound card installed normally and message said "This device is working properly". I've tried to install other drivers, but it didn't help.

    I also checked Services. Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder are running. I tried to restart them, but no luck.

    DxDiag shows that no sound card is installed.

    System is Windows 10. Sound Card is Realtek 1150.

    P.S. Most of the answers, I managed to find, are talking about situation, where device is shown with exclamation mark in yellow, i.e. particular device has problem with drivers or has problem starting.

    Edit: Just to add a bit more context, I actually don't think it's a driver problem, rather a Windows Audio problem, because I also have NVIDIA HDMI Audio and two webcams with mics installed, and they are not shown in output or recording device selection.

  3. audio output device

    My surface pro seven suddenly does not have sound. It says there is no audio output driver. I talked to someone at microsoft and they had me uninstall and reinstall updates. I cannot reinstall an audio driver because the device manager list of devices does
    not even show sound as an option anymore. The rep I talked to finally said he had no more suggestions.

    I am not sure how to fix this or why it happened.
