Windows 10 update messed with my audio

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To have better clarity on the issue, answer the below listed questions and get back to us.

1. What is the make and model number of your computer?
   
2. Which update did you install prior to this issue?
   
3. Are you seeing the Sound icon in the Taskbar?
   
4. Are you seeing the Audio Drivers in the Device Manager?
   

Method 1: Fix sound problems after Windows Updates.

I would suggest you to go through
Fix sound problems after Windows Updates and follow the troubleshooting mentioned in the article.



Method 2: Restarting Windows Audio Service.

Step 1: Press the ‘Windows’ key and the ‘R’ key at the same time and type ‘Devmgmt.msc’
and hit Enter.

Step 2: Search for ‘Windows Audio Service’ >
Right Click on the service and click on Restart and check for the issue.
