Mine behaved the same. Audio stopped working after installing 24H2. However, when I reviewed the available output sound devices, I saw that Windows was pointing to the wrong device (RealTek) and when I selected the correct device (Display Audio), audio worked again. Maybe it's a similar situation for you.
Need fix for lost audio from update to Windows 24H2
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?
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update
