Windows 10: where do I get sound device for windows 11 systems?

When troubleshooting my sound system, I found that no device was installed. Where do I get the sound device and install it?

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We can understand the situation must be difficult for you when things do not work as they should. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• Do you see any red x on the sound icon in the system tray?
  
• Do you see any yellow exclamation mark on any audio drivers in the device manager?
  
• Was there a major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren't facing this issue?
  

Since the issue is related exclusively for sound card, we would suggest you to perform the steps as mentioned in this

Issue with Bluetooth Speakers Connected but not listed in sound devices on Windows 11

When attempting to connect my Vizio Bluetooth speaker to my computer, the pairing process is successful. However, despite being paired, the audio continues to play through the computer's built-in speakers instead of the connected Bluetooth speakers. Notably, the Bluetooth speakers do not appear in the mixer settings, preventing me from redirecting the audio output.

Observations:

• In Settings -> Bluetooth & devices -> Devices -> Audio, both Dell U2723QE and VIZIO SB3651 are listed.
  
• In Settings -> System -> Sound -> All Sound devices -> Output devices, only Dell U2723QE is listed.
  

Additional Information:

• PC Build Details:
  
  • BaseBoard Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
    
  • BaseBoard Product: PRO Z690-A WIFI (MS-7D25)
    
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6E module
    
• Operating System:
  
  • Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
    
  • Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
    

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Repeated pairing attempts.
  
• Checked the mixer settings, but Bluetooth speakers are not visible.
  
• Verified Bluetooth speaker functionality on other devices.
  

Note: I have come across multiple reports online highlighting the same issue with Bluetooth speaker connectivity on Windows 11. Despite the prevalence of this problem, it appears that no tickets or decisive action has been taken by Microsoft to address this issue. Therefore, I am posting this problem again in the hope of receiving assistance and contributing to the resolution of this widespread concern.
