    No Audio after Windows10 update

    I also have no audio after a Win10 update! ARRGHH. Windows 10: the gift that keeps on frustrating! I went to Device Manager: Sound...and deleted the MS sound device that was there above my Realtek sound device. My sound icon on my desktop now shows
    that I have sound, but I don't. My tablet actually hasn't had any problems for the past four weeks, except for this one. WOW, that's a record since installing Win10 back at the first of December 2015. I hate that Microsoft just installs their software (in
    this case, for sound) on my computer--and the "update" software wreaks havoc. I don't want to write lines of code to recover my sound...this is ridiculous. Any helpful and non-code suggestions are welcome.

    Problem with the sound settings

    I have to keep changing my default device in Sound settings whenever I want to use a headphone or speaker. For eg: I have used my speaker to play some song and then if plug in my headphones, there is no sound, i have to go to the sound settings and change
    the default device to Headphone. Please someone help me solve this problem
