    No Audio Post Win/10 Upgrade from 8.1


    Hello all. After I updated to Windows 10, I noticed I had no audio in anything. With/without headphones, there was nothing. I had no Audio Output devices anymore. I tried restarting the computer, the two windows audio things whose names escape me (Windows Audio and Windows Audio something), I tried reinstalling my audio drivers, only to notice that the dxdiag audio section was blank. Anyone know how to fix this? I've been trying all day to figure this out, but nothing. I'd really like to keep Win10, but I can't if I can't fix this issue. Thanks!

    Go into Device manager and uninstall the sound card and tell Windows to also delete the driver software. Then reboot and Windows will reinstall the sound. It should work after that.

    Hi, thanks for the help. I followed your steps and now its telling me that my laptop doesn't have any speakers or headphones plugged in. It's giving me an option for an HDMI cable though, so at least there's now something in the playback section.

    Okay so it's now using the sound capabilities of the graphics card. Now get the latest driver for your regular sound card, install that and see what happens.

    I tried looking for drivers, but the only ones I could find were for my graphics. Since I'm running Integrated Graphics, I figured they'd work. Nope, still nothing.

    is your sound card showing in device manager ? does it have a yellow exclamation mark ?
    assuming it's showing have you tried updating the driver from within device manager ?

    It DID have a yellow exclamation mark, but not anymore. I reinstalled it. Still no sound.

    To be honest, I don't know how to change the frequency of the sound drivers.
