TheOS version is Windows 10 Home 21h2. After a very recent update, it can no longer detect and audio output. Upon entering device manager it said no Intel High Definition Audio Drivers were installed and attempting to update via device manager gave no results. If anyone know where I can get a driver for this or some other fix it would be greatly appreciated.
I found the issue. If you are experiencing the same problem as me, open Device Manager and expand the System Devices drop-down. The issue was an outdated Intel Smart Sound Driver it seems and once that was updated the problem was fixed.
Thanks for the help, unfortunately there seems to be a problem with installing and deleting drivers as the corrupt one reappears after deleting and rebooting. The problem Driver is labelled as Other Devices and named Intel High Definition Audio(Error code 28). Would you know what to do?
Hello, how was you able to fix the outdated Intel Smart Sound Driver? I have a HP pavilion x360 as well that runs on Microsoft Window 10 (64-bit) and I'm experiencing the same problem like you had. The same person, BANHIEN, that helped you out, told me to install Realtek audio drivers from the Intel website since updating to a new OS (Windows 11), that the older OS (Windows 10) audio drivers won't be supported afterwards.
All was working well. resent update result in audio failure. There is no device installed and can not be fix with drivers from Microsoft update site or manually. When connect external speaker sound is ok.
Thank you a million for posting this solution. It fixed my absent internal speakers and microphone, plus missing Bluetooth mic, issues that I've been having for months. I thought it was a hardware issue, as both HP's and Microsoft's automatic problem scanners could pick up no issue. Now that you showed the issue is in some Intel system driver that didn't update properly, I now recall back that the last time things were working, my PC was running very hot (meaning it was doing an update). Then the audio stopped. HP and Microsoft (and Intel): you should be ashamed.
For some reason my audio driver was missing on my laptop so I manually installed an updated version. I can hear sound now but when I plug my headphones in the sound still plays out loud and also in the headphones. Any ideas on what's going on?
Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I see from your post that you are having issues with the audio not working after the recent windows update. Don't worry we're here to help you.
I see that you have already tried to follow the steps suggested and unfortunately nothing has helped to resolve this issue. Don't worry as I have a few other steps which should help you resolve this issue.
Nope that didn't work. I downloaded the intel driver and support assistant and updated 2 devices and now it says all my intel software is up to date but I still have the same audio issue where it plays sound in the headphones and laptop at the same time. It doesn't even recognise the headphones on the sound control panel (i have checked hidden devices) see below.
Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller is not present in my device manager. I'm guessing this is going to be an issue ill have to take to a professional face to face and show them on the laptop. ugh.
Hey thanks for the help HP support noticed my BIOS needed updating and two other wireless devices as well. After updating them realtek finally started to recognise when my headphones are plugged into the jack. Now my sound is working correctly. You were a great help.

Windows 11 audio driver or Windows 11 sound driver is a type of computer hardware/firmware driver necessary for audio devices to work properly in the Win11 operating system. Only with those drivers, can you hear sound from your PC.
The latest Realtek audio driver windows 11 for Intel was released on January 11, 2022. Its version is 6.0.9285.1. This Intel Realtek HD audio driver for Windows 11 is for a 3.5mm audio jack and can be installed on the 11th generation Intel NUC11PHKi7C and NUC11PHKi7CAA. Its size is 378.6 MB.
If you find it complex or confusing to manually download Windows 11 sound driver, you can rely on a professional 3rd party program to do that. For example, you may find it time-consuming to find out your motherboard type and suitable audio driver.

i already tried several method like troubleshooting step, update driver, reinstall driver, even reinstall window, it still not worked.. i use Laptop Asus Vivobook X412FL_A412FL and BIOS :X412FL.304 (type: UEFI).. Anyone can help?
Thanks for your feedback, from the above details, I would suggest you to load the default values or factory default in system BIOS, it will be helpful in case where the BIOS value has been changed unexpectedly.
Restart the computer, and continuously press the F2 or Del key while the system is performing the POST (Power-On Self-Test) to enter the BIOS setup utility. Usually, the POST process starts before your computer loads the Windows, at the time when you see the manufacturer loge as in this case is the Asus.
In BIOS setup, locate the option "Load the BIOS defaults" or you can press the F9 key as well. Once you have done, you will get the confirmation message, and finally, you need to save the configuration.
