Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and Windows 10

Anonymous

I am running Windows 10 Pro, version 1709, build 16229.125 and have built in Realtek High Definition Audio. Since this version was installed, I have no sound at all. I have updated drivers multiple times, tried the generic driver for audio and nothing makes the slightest difference.

I'm assuming the update broke the audio, any suggestions to fix it (on the assumption that Microsoft aren't going to fix it themselves)?

    Have you tried right clicking on the speaker icon at the bottom rhs of the screen. Select playback devices and see what default device is selected. Try a different one to see what happens. I have a PC that select an output that does not exist by default so I have to manually change it when I load a new OS or audio driver. Can you hear any system sounds from your PC on internal or external speakers? You can test it out by clicking on the sounds tab after you have done the above then select one of the sounds from the menu then click TEST to hear the sound. If you can hear something then the issue could be with other audio/video player software.
