  1. okay, i give up guessing 🤷 my all-in-one PC has had no sound since the audio driver updated.

    ive tried teh troubleshooter, switching teh default deivce, unplugging and replugging the laptop speakers, and restarting the Windows Audio service... nothing helped... im comforatble with Device Manager and the command line if someone tells me what to look for. i just need a sensible order of steps instead of random internet advice that contradicts itself.

  3. open Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers, right-click the audio device > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver, if its greyed out, choose Update driver > Browse my computer > Let me pick from a list and select the previous version or High Definition Audio Device (the Microsoft generic driver) as a test.

  5. ahh classic open mmsys.cpl, right-click the empty space and tick Show Disabled Devices. Sometimes teh update leaves teh speakers endpoint disabled rather than missing. worked for me anyway 🤷

  6. check that teh audio services are running: open services.msc and make sure Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder are Running and set to Automatic, restart both if needed. good luck man!

    yeahhh many vendor audio packages split into a base driver plus extension/component drivers. if only part of it updated, things break. download the complete package from your PC or motherboard makers support page and install it over teh top.

  8. hmm idk if Windows Update installed it, it may install it again. hide the update with the "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter after rolling back. idk maybe im wrong lol

  10. @voxel_garage861 the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service was stopped. started it, set it to Automatic, and my all-in-one PC has sound again. so simple in the end.
