Audio Not Working After Windows 10 Version 2004 Update

I went thru this too for almost 5 weeks until I finally found a solution . It seems to be in the drivers . with the help of everyone here , I was able to reload the standard default drivers and it worked . may not on yours but look into the default  Real Tek / IDT drivers .. Thats what I did ..

I had a refurbished Dell Optiplex 990 that I had totally erased to sell.  I bought a clean install of Windows 10 Pro, Version 1909 ($99).   I still have no sound on the PC.  I have tried every driver I could find with no results.  Any ideas? There has to be a compatible driver because version 1909 worked well.

Well son of a B!@#$ch !

Solution 5 after I found those drivers and reloaded them .

4 weeks now trying to fix this .. 

My laptop went thru a similar issue whereby windows forced it to upgrade and THAT lost its drivers also . Both desktop and laptop now have audio !

Windows , Got to love it ...

5. Uncheck the option “show compatible hardware” to ensure that all the results are listed in your drivers list.

Navigate through all the drivers until you find “High Definition Audio Device”. Select it and press Next.

  I had same problem. After installing 2004 version, my realtek settings in Realtek HD Audio Manager were changed so that if I had headphones plugged in front that back panel was disabled for my speakers under the device advanced settings. Changed it to "make front and rear output devices play on two different audio streams simultaneously" and it is back to the way it used to be by default.

Nothing worked.

Solution 5 on this website did, immediately, even without rebooting:
