I have the same problem. After accepting upgrade to Win11, I lost my sound DEVICE. I'm writing word DEVICE in caps because everywhere I search the question, "How do I re-install my sound DEVICE", I see thousands of responses on how to re-install the device DRIVER, but none on the DEVICE. The DEVICE is what we used to call The Sound Card. The DRIVER is what makes the DEVICE work after the OS system recognizes there is a sound DEVICE. If you have no DEVICE, there is no use trying to find the DRIVER for it. In summary, it looks like the Windows OS software change somehow disconnected the hardware DEVICE from the computer internally. If someone could please tell me how to reconnect that without welding equipment, I can maybe move forward with this sxxtxy problem! Or maybe its just time to divorce Microsoft and get a Mac computer?
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

2023-05-04T13:49:45+00:00 I am having the same issue all of the sudden. HP Spectre X360 Laptop. "No Audio Device is Installed" Shows an red X over the microphone icon in bottom right of screen. I've seen the suggestions on previous posts and those solutions do NOT fix the issue . This is clearly a major issue with windows because I am seeing numerous problems. Yet Microsoft is not providing ANY solutions.

2023-11-13T19:53:31+00:00 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. -
