Adrian1595, I recommend you to complete installation of all the latest updates available to you.

Also, completely reinstall the driver from your device manufacturer's website, see if that helps.

Please run Playing Audio troubleshooter by right click on volume icon and select Troubleshoot sound problems. Let us know what it reports back.

    KapilArya Sorry to say. My problem re-emerged again. I uninstalled Microsoft Audio Driver and installed Realtek driver from Realtek website. It worked for one reboot.
    
    But still after every new boot up audio is disabled and audio HD Device is in System device Category under device manager. Audio is still not using the driver from Realtek website.
    
    Can anybody tell what should I do?
