Hi,
Please open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) to see if you can find the sound device under Sound, video and game controllers. If yes, right click on the device and select update driver. If the issue persists, select uninstall the device and reboot.
If you cannot find your sound device, try connecting the device to a different port. If the device isn't yet connected, install the device-specific driver first by using the installer for the device and then connect the device.
Best Regards,
Ian Xue
