Windows 10: where can I find an audio output device

I have no sound on my HP laptop running Windows 10. I clicked on the carrot on the bottom of the screen and was advised that no audio output device is installed. How do I correct this issue? Please help! Thanks!

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.

 

No Audio Output Device Installed

Hi Sly,

It is possible that your audio output device itself is not working. To further assist your concern, kindly answer these following questions:

• Have you made any changes to your PC prior to the issue?
• Have you tried using other audio output devices on your PC? If yes, did it work on your PC?
• What are the troubleshooting methods you've tried so far?

We'll be looking forward for your reply.

Regards.

A screenshot of the Device Manager, Sounds section is still needed. Can't really offer a suggestion until I see what is showing there now.

e.g this is mine It shows AMD which the audio for HDMI, Realtek and Tranzport which is a wireless controller for my recording studio program.
