Windows 10: Windows update lost speakers again.

Windows updated and now tells me again that there are no speakers plugged in although there are. This has happened before and I can't remember how I resolved it. I have an NVIDIA sound driver. When I run the trouble shooter it tells me that there are no speakers plugged in. When I check the sound card it says that it is operating correctly. I have tried everything I know of to fix this thing


Windows version 1909

Build 18363.657


It seems to me that I had to get into the registry and do something

:)

 

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
