| Earlier this week, Intel unintentionally released version 9.21.00.3755 of the Intel Smart Sound Technology (ISST) Driver through Windows Update, and inadvertently offered it to a range of devices running Window 10 version 1803 or 1809. If your device contained<br> a compatible audio driver, the new driver overrode it and caused audio to stop working.<br><br><br><br><br><br>We are working with Intel to resolve this issue, and as soon as we learned of the issue on October 11, we made sure the driver was no longer being offered through Windows Update. If it was already installed on your device, you will need to uninstall the<br> driver using the following instructions.<br><br> <br><br> <br><br><ol><br><li><span style="color:#333333">From the Start menu, type <strong>Device Manager </strong><br>in the search box. Select <strong>Device Manager</strong> from the search results.</span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Find and expand <strong>Sound, video, and game controllers.</strong></span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Look for a Realtek device, or a device that has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point.</span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Click on the device to select it.</span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Go to the Device Manager <strong>View</strong> menu, and then select<br><strong>Devices by connection</strong>.<br><br><br><br></span><a href="https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/048ccab5-e448-412c-b600-b4b3aea9fe18?platform=QnA target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/048ccab5-e448-412c-b600-b4b3aea9fe18?platform=QnA style="color:#333333"><br><br></span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Look at the controller device - this should be called<br><strong>Intel Smart Sound Technology driver version 09.21.00.3755.</strong></span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Right-click the controller device.</span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Choose <strong>Properties.</strong></span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">You should get a dialog like below.

2018-10-13T16:11:41+00:00 This happened to you to? I thought I was the only one! I updated it on the 11th and then when I opened it it was gone no audio even in the Device manager there is no Realtek audio. Only intel, which is kinda annoying due to the fact we need the Realtek to even fix the issue.
I tried videos none have worked sadly.
My computer is a HP aswell
