I just bought a brand new HP laptop that came with Windows 11 installed. My sound worked fine for several days, then I got this No audio device installed message, so it's happening with brand new computers as well.
How do i fix no audio device installed in windows 11?
ive tried troubleshooting but it couldnt identify the problem
ive also tried rebooting my device
i also cant update my high definition audio device which i want to use because the other one doesnt work too(windws encountered a problem installing the drivers for your device code 10)
my other audio driver is working fine but still it says no audio device installed(this audio driver is the one written in japanese)
ive also came to the intel website to look up for my drivers but it says its up to date

Download the correct Audio driver from manufacturer website.?

And the now the sound card is "not installed" again. I am so sick of this BS with Windows. If I knew how, I'd switch to Linux!
And this so called support is BS as well. You can never find real help.

MS is telling people to go buy a new computer with an upgraded intel chip that Win 11 was written to work with. Aint that nice.

2023-11-13T19:38:52+00:00 Unfortunately, Microsoft provided such a short window for going back to Windows 10 from Windows 11 that I, and probably most people, can no longer re-install Windows 10; we're stuck with Windows 11 and no sound. What is Microsoft doing about that?! Do they no longer write corrective software in Redmont? Are they just kicking the can down the road to a future Windows 12 ?
