I continue to go around and around... the August 2020 updates didn't improve anything. All I can do is reimage my machine to prior to the Windows update to regain USB audio.

Hello
My audio is still not working after the recent Winows 10 Version 2004 update.
It causes the system to auto lockdown after initial booting and the audio functions are now totally lost.
Please let me know what is current status to fix these bugging issues.
Appreciate your urgent attention and reply.

Are you on 2004?
