I updated to Windows 24H2. I have now lost all of my audio. When I hover my mouse over the sound icon in the tray, it shows that "No audio device is installed". How do I fix this?

    I have the problem on my Win 11 system. I attached my speakers to a Win 10 system and the problem disappeared. In my case, it wasn't the speakers.

    Thank you for your offer to help. I discovered that replacing the external PC speakers returned my sound. I had defective speakers.

    I have found that when the system boots, the system starts muted. If you unmute it, you hear nothing. If you mute it, sound comes on. If you unmute it, the sound stops again. It's in reverse. Then when you toggle stereo>mono>stereo, it starts working normally again.
