    Please try reinstalling the Audio driver from the manufacturer's website.

    If you have already tried that, I recommend System Restore.

    Please follow the steps below on how to restore your computer using the System Restore option.

    "Restore from a system restore point

    This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app or driver, and when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

    In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, and then choose it from the list of results

    In the Control Panel search box, type recovery.

    Select Recovery > Open System Restore.

    In the Restore system files and settings box, select Next.

    Select the restore point that you want to use in the list of results, and then select Scan for affected programs.

    Notes:

    If you don’t see the restore point that you want to use, select the Show more restore points check box to see more restore points.

    If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. Here’s how to check:

    In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, and then choose it from the list of results.

    In the Control Panel search box, type recovery.

    Select Recovery > Configure System Restore > Configure and see if the Turn on system protection option is selected.

    If the Turn on system protection option is not selected, system protection isn’t turned on and there aren't any restore points. In this scenario, you won't be able to recovery your PC using a system restore point and will need to use one of the other recovery options listed on this page.

    If the Turn on system protection option is selected, continue with step 6.

    You'll see a list of items that will be deleted if you remove this restore point. If you're OK with the deletions, select Close > Next > Finish."

    Hi, I am an Independent Advisor.

    Let me help you with this issue.

    I understand you have accidentally deleted your Windows audio driver

    May I please know the make and model of your device?

    Please hover your mouse to the sound icon at the lower right-hand corner then right-click it and click Troubleshoot Sound. Let the troubleshooter finish until it's done then this should either fix the problem or give us an error message.

    If that doesn't work, we need to remove the Audio driver from the Device Manager and restart the PC to reinstall it.

    Here are the steps to completely remove a Device from your computer.

    Step 1. Use shortcut keys Windows key+ X.

    Step 2. Select Device Manager.

    Step 3. Expand the entry Sound, Video, and Game Controllers Right-click the problematic device it is either Realtek Audio, or AMD High-definition Audio or High-Definition Audio this varies on the audio device installed in your PC, and select Uninstall device.

    Step 4. You need to check the option Delete the driver software for this device and then click the Uninstall button.

    Step 5. Reboot the computer.

    After the reboot, please see if the problem is fixed.

    If that still does not work, please visit the support website of your laptop or desktop and then download and install the latest Audio driver then restart the PC.
