Windows 10: WIN10 2004 has no laptop speaker audio

Hi,


I have WIN10 Pro 2004, 19041.450 on my Lenovo thinkpad yoga g5 and lost all speaker audio due I <think> to a recent win update. Mic audio is fine. Troubleshooter says "Audio services not responding". If I for example run through 'sounds >playback>configure' options from the taskbar, I will get the message in the image below.


Deleting all the audio drivers and reinstalling them has not made any difference. All were up to date anyway. I have checked that the windows audio related services are running and so are their dependents. Nothing reports any errors or as disabled etc. So what to do? Reinstalling windows is crazy, for such a minor thing.


-Dermot.

How to play audio/music through speakers AND bluetooth speakers


I have a pair of Creative T40 speakers plugged into the 3.5mm jack on my laptop. I got hold of a bluetooth speaker and that was recognised straight-away.

I have installed a large monitor (32inch) to the laptop on which I work as well as watch movies and play games. I was wondering if I could setup that audio, be it music, gaming audio or movie audio could be played through BOTH sets of speakers.

The main T40's are on either side of the monitor and I have the bluetooth speaker behind me on a shelf. That would, kind-of, give me surround sound. Or when I have people over I could get better sound if I could just move the bluetooth speaker to a different part of the room.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you.
