Sound gone after Windows 10 upgrade

Hello Dominik,

We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

As you are facing issues with accessing the sound on your device, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

This issue might be due to corrupted/ outdated drivers after upgrading to Windows 10.

Let us try the below troubleshooting steps to access the sound from speakers from your device and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to run
Hardware and Devices troubleshooter as it checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

  Troubleshooting and select it.
• Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
  Troubleshooting window.
• Select the Hardware and Device options from the list.
  
• Click Next to run the Hardware and Device
  Troubleshooter.

Method 2: As updating the drivers couldn't resolve the issue, I suggest you to uninstall the existing Audio drivers, download the latest drivers for your device and check if it helps.

Step 1: Uninstall the Audio driver.

Steps:

• Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, click on
  Device Manager.
• Expand Audio inputs and outputs, right click on the driver and click on
  Uninstall.

Step 2: I suggest you to manually install the latest audio drivers and check.

Download the latest drivers from: ASUS Support
