Sound not playing on any device connected to my laptop. What can I do?
ADE_MarcDesign I am having the exact same problem after updates in February. I lost sound on my older Asus X555LA, which has Realtek audio. NOTHING has worked and I've done everything you have. It has to do with the updates we are constantly forced to do and can't turn off. I haven't had sound for 2 weeks now and this shouldn't be happening due to MS updates. If they haven't solved the problem by now, they probably never will, especially for older devices. I even went live with a csr rep from the their troubleshooting page. We tried a few things and then he agreed with me. I don't know what to do either!
Hi Metro747! thanks for responding.
Yeah, maybe. I guess it was the update? Dunno. Anyway I did find a solution - kinda. But be warned, you won't like it. It's called "tabula rasa". Yep, I did a fresh install of Win11. Obviously after saving everything on an external SSD.
It was beyond annoying, but it did the trick.
Wish I could give you a better solution. Sadly NOTHING else I tried worked, and like you saw on my first post, I tried plenty of different solutions before reaching that point.
Good luck with your tech-issue. And break a leg!
