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?

Hello John

I have the same Realtek issue withW11. I have followed your suggestion to the point where you say

Right click the volume icon on the taskbar
"Select Sounds then click Playback
Double click your Speakers in the list then select Advanced tab
Under Exclusive Mode, uncheck both options
Click Apply then Ok"

However when I right click the sound icon on the task bar I get the message "no audio device is installed" so I can't proceed any further. Can you help?

many thanks.
