    Speakers and audio drivers


    My speakers were listed as something like Realtek high definition audio, but they seem to have been completely deleted from my device. I already tried everything the dumb virtual assistant had to offer. Is there any way to get my audio back?

    :)

    No Speakers or Headphones detected

    Hi,

    This issue may have been caused by a corrupted Audio driver or defective audio port.

    To better understand this concern please answer the following questions:

    • Are you still able to play music using a built-in speakers?
    • Have you tried using other headphones or external speakers?

    We also suggest that you run audio troubleshooter by following these steps:

    • Type "troubleshooting" on the search box.
    • Select Troubleshooting on the result.
    • Click View all.
    • Choose Playing Audio then follow the instructions.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to post back.

    Speaker Driver and Audio Service Weirdness


    This originally was posted in the User Accounts section since I was first attempting to change the name of my username and username folder. That was successfully done.

    After doing so, I had somehow managed to make it where the Audio Service wasn't loading. Despite looking at services.msc and seeing that everything was configured correctly to automatically start, was running, etc., things continued to progress. At some point I messed things up and could get no sound at all. A repair/in-place reinstallment of Windows 10 seemed to have fixed the issue, but I'm still seeing a red "X" in the speaker icon, not recognizing the speaker, etc.

    The weird thing is that I can still hear sound through the speaker.

    If I right click it and bring up a list of speakers, the selected speaker is "unknown." I can open the speaker list.

    If I click the speaker icon to adjust the volume, I'm forced to run the troubleshooter. However, I can cancel the troubleshooter once it starts (before it has time to do anything) and by doing so, the red X disappears and I can adjust the volume.

    I'm running v1709 Win Pro for Workstations.

    Audio Troubleshooter Turned Off My Speakers?!

    Hi,

    If you're using external speakers, we suggest that you set the device as default. Here are the steps:

    • Open Start, enter Sound, select it from the list of results.
    • On the Playback tab, select a device, then Set Default.
    See
    Fix sound problems
    for additional solutions you can perform.

    If the same instance occurs, kindly perform the following steps on how to completely uninstall and reinstall the sound driver:

    • Go to Start Menu > search for Device Manager.
    • Expand Sound and audio devices.
    • Right-click on the current sound driver > choose uninstall.
    • Restart your computer.
    • Download the latest sound driver from the device manufacturer's website.
    Keep us posted with the progress. We'd be glad to further assist you.
