Hello tanmoydev,

It seems like Realtek audio drivers on your system is not working even after updates and reinstall.

See if this video fix helps you (works with Windows 11 as well):

 


If issue still persists, you might need to check sound card and verify if its working fine.

Let us know if this helps!

KapilArya - thank you for tips to restore audio functionality on windows 11. I have experienced the same problem. Unfortunately, the steps you suggested have not resolved the issue and my audio is still not working and comes up with the message 'No audio device is installed'.

On following the steps suggested, I've the following messages displayed.

This is quite different from the report in our video instruction.

Also, on accessing 'view detailed information', I get a different message to the one described in your video as follows.

My laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad 3, and have been on manufacturers troubleshooting site. Both their hardware and software have come through as working and have been updated. It seems to be clearly a Microsoft Windows problem.

I hope you can assist further.

Thanks.
