    Speakers gone after Windows 10 update


    My Lenovo desktop lost sound after the February update to Windows. There isn't an output device to choose from in the settings. No Sound, Video and Games Controllers or Audio Inputs/Outputs in the device manager. They do not show up when I try to "Show Hidden Devices". I've been searching for answers and trying things since it happened. None of the options work. Any ideas?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 Realtek 'Speaker Fill' not working

    Found a solution.

    #1: Close Nehimic (setup does not auto-close it) and uninstall if it is installed.

    #2: Uninstall Realtek drivers. Restart computer when prompted. When your computer comes back up, Realtek will be running off of Microsoft's generic HD Audio driver.

    #3: Follow the directions here to prohibit Windows Update from reinstalling the Realtek driver.

    #4: Open "Sounds" then "Playback Devices," select the device from the list and click on "Configure." Follow the prompts.

    #5: Right click on the device and select "Properties," then "Enhancements," then check "Speaker Fill" and apply. If you do not see "Speaker Fill," repeat step #4 and make sure to pick a choice that has more than two speakers. "Apply" the changes.

    #6: Start playing audio. You will have to restart the program if it was running in order for the change to take effect. Your stereo music should now be playing as Stereo Surround! *Big Grin Speakers gone after Windows 10 update :D
