      and check if any sound drivers are installed.

    Step 2: Also run hardware troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.

    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.

    NO sound in windows 10 after update audio driver.

    Hey
    RabiulHasanCTG
    , so sorry to hear about the issues you are having with Windows 10. I'll give you a few suggestions. I'll go ahead and assume that you already tried the step conorgdaly suggested below and not repeat that
    step to try. I hope this helps.

    How to fix No Sound on Windows 10 issue



    Try this method for restoring sound:

    • Press Windows key + W and type
      troubleshooting.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click Hardware and Devices.
    • Follow the on-screen instruction to run the troubleshooter.


    If the issue is still unresolved, you can try another method for restoring sound:

    Step 1: Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar located at the bottom right of the screen and select Playback Devices from the ensuing context menu.

    Step 2: Select the current playback device in use and by default it should be the speakers. Double-click on it to open its properties window.

    Step 3: Got to Advanced section and change the bit rate to either of the following - 24bit/44100 Hz or 24bit/192000Hz - depending on the speaker configuration.



    If the issue is still unresolved, you can try another method for restoring sound:

    Step 1: Launch Start Menu, search for Device Manager and then launch it.

    Step 2: Expand Sound and audio devices.

    Step 3: Right-click on the current sound driver and choose uninstall.

    Step 4: Finally, click on Scan for hardware changes and the updated driver will be automatically installed.

    That's it. Your computer speakers should now be able to play sound normally. If the sound is still not working, then try downloading and installing the latest sound card drivers for Windows 10 from the manufacturer's website.
