The update is "2023-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5023706)" and after I downloaded this update all my audio stopped functioning. Headset, monitor, everything. I have tried so many online suggestions including updating drivers, messing around with settings as per fix tutorial, ran a virus scan just in case but still nothing. Interestingly I found that the NVIDIA audio thing says disconnected. Not sure if that was like that before the update but I doubt it. Again, I tried various fixes including drivers, etc. Did anyone else have this problem and know a fix that actually works cause I am done wasting time on this frankly stupid and irritating problem.

    System restore worked for me - volume was completely restored. Problem is, immediately after the system restore, Windows is now bugging me to shut down and install updates. Naturally I'm worried the sound driver will disappear again after the update so I'm putting it off. Eventually though I'm going to have to switch off my laptop!

    Hi,

    I suggest that you try the headset with another device to confirm that it already faulty or try a different headset with your PC.

    Let me know how it goes.
    Thanks.
