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

Update on my previous post:
Microsoft wrote Windows 11 to work with newer intel hardware. So, what they tell me to do is to buy a newer computer on which Windows 11 will interact with the audio chip. This is how they are succeeding in making millions of people replace their "older" computers. Is this a cabal with Intell China?
I'm looking for a good legal firm to start a class action against Microsoft on this as the price of new computers causes egregious damages.
That’s rediculus…. It’s amazing how I buy a laptop in Feb of 2020 & this is the nonsense we have to deal with. It’s one thing to have software issues but when basic updates make the basic hardware not work…that’s a problem.
Yes, Intel will tell you that your drivers are up to date - for the existing audio chip in your computer. But Microsoft apparently wrote Windows 11 to work with upgraded sound chips on newer hardware, which is why the message says "No audio device installed." The software is not recognizing the older sound hardware. If you missed the really short window MS gave us to return to Win 10, you are stuck with a computer with a Windows OS that can no longer interact with your audio hardware component. Solutions are: 1. Switch from Windows to some other OS but that will mean your MS Office software and many other apps you have used for years will no longer work. 2. Buy a new computer with an audio hardware component that works with Windows 11. 3. Buy a Mac and learn a whole new way of doing things on a computer - that may drive you crazy. 4. Sue the MS baxxxrds!
If you search hard enough on the laptop you purchased in 2020, you may find the actual manufactured date to be much older. If you got a real bargain on the price, it was likely redundant inventory, embedded with what Microsoft and Intel are treating as "old" audio components that Windows 11 OS will not recognize. It may also be that software and hardware manufacturers conjointly now consider "old" as simply anything "so last year."
Microsoft does not write new drivers for OEM embedded audio chip.
Microsoft only gives WHQL drivers , those are approved and uploaded by oem.
