After the update, Windows 11 has no sound and the audio isn't working
My Windows 11 laptop has no sound at all after a recent update. Speakers and headphones both dead. Volume is up, but nothing plays.

Windows Update sometimes pushes a generic or corrupted audio driver that doesn't play nice with your laptop's actual hardware. The fix usually involves either rolling back that driver or reinstalling the correct one from your laptop manufacturer.

Please download and install the latest audio driver.
