No sound. Realtek entry is missing from Device Manager

If it's anything to do with a very recent windows update this worked for me as I had no sound and slowly got it back and this post here resolved it all

AMD HD Audio not working - Windows 10 Forums

I looked at the above link, and saw the quote:

So my advice would be to download latest updates of Intel graphics driver , Amd graphics driver and Realtek driver , after that unplug from the internet and then uninstall those drivers ticking delete option in uninstall dialogue from device manager . After that install the drivers Realtek first then Intel then Amd , that should fix you .

How does one selectively download "Intel graphics driver , Amd graphics driver and Realtek driver"?

I think it all depends on your system. I know for HP I went out to their page for the system drivers for my system and it had all the drivers. for my AMD system the intel drivers refused to load but the AMD drivers did and then there was also realtek drivers there as well.

So for my case for instance I downloaded all 3 drivers. I then went into device manager and uninstalled all involved drivers that I could find related to these

I then reinstalled realtek and restarted then reinstalled intel but those failed (assume as my systems and AMD system) then reinstalled AMD and restarted and all my sound was back exactly as it was before this update nightmare!!

But you would have to google your system model numbers and the word drivers and it should pop up with your system manufacturers website that has all your drivers that can be seleectively downloaded so make sure to download all the required ones for graphics and sound then proceed.
