  1. Update to Windows 20H2 will not install Error 0x800f0801 and audio and speakers not working.


    Hi!Today I saw there were several updates required on my device and left them all download. All bar one downloaded; update to Windows 20H2. I have trouble shot windows updates, uninstalled my anti-virus protection and ran an SFC scan and none of these have resolved the issue. I have also checked and have enough storage available for the update. Furthermore, since the other downloads finished my audio and microphone are not working. The speaker button has a red x displayed over it and says that 'No speaker or headphones are plugged in'. Trouble-shooting has also failed to solve this issue.

    :)

  2. [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 Update to Windows 20H2 will not install Error 0x800f0801 and audio and speakers not working. :D
