Windows 11 sound problem
since i upgraded to windows 11, my laptop has no sound. I was trying update and reinstalling my sound driver but its still not working.
- In the latest cumulative update for windows 11 (10.0.22000.120)(KB5005188), The problem is solved for me.
Hope you guys also get resolved.
Some additional information that may be helpful to Microsoft: since the 1/14/22 Windows 11 update, I've also experienced trouble with my Focusrite 8i6 audio interface. It was previously configured to 48khz / 24 bit depth for audio processing. Now, when Windows 11 boots, it only recognizes the Focusrite at 44khz / 16 bit depth. When I reset the Focusrite to 48/24, and then try to confirm that within either Studio One 4 or Windows audio controls, it reverts to the 44/16 default.
Bottom line: Windows 11 is very unstable for audio processing. I would not have ordered a new, powerful PC with Windows 11 had I known about this problem. Frankly, my studio work is dead in the water and I'm not amused.
Today a new Windows 11 update arrived. After installation, the same audio issues exist. NO SOLUTION.

- I had enough and did a usb install back to win 10 and my issue remained but it wasn't adding up so I checked my x77 chipset drivers and they had been deleted. I didn't do a reinstall of windows yet after installing the driver inf. Everything is working now perfectly. Somehow during the update to 11 my mb chipset drivers were deleted. Check your chipset drivers yall.
