Problem with audio on win 11

Question

The sound suddenly went away, and the icon management appeared to play up as well.

I am using NVIDIA 27B2 high definition audio.

The audio troubleshooter was not able to solve the problem.

I ran the SFC and DISM options, - no problems were detected.

Should I look for an old audio driver?

This is a ASUS gaming notebook with Ryzen 7 amd.

Is there another audio system I can use to cross-check it?

The menu says there is one called "Speakers", but it does not show up on devices.

the driver is dated 5/6/2021, version 10.0.22000.1 This looks like the original one.

I tried searching for one on C:\ DRIVERS, but it didn't give me a list, just said the existing one was best.

could the NVIDIA hardware be acting up?

Solution:

Change the device to Speakers:Realtek.

It didn't initially come up as an option, but appeared during the troubleshoot process.

This is the one that ouputs to the audio plug.

It now works fine.

Answer 1

You install drivers from that laptop maker, and no where else
