If updating your drivers won’t help, uninstalling the latest driver might work for you. Windows will install the last working audio driver back for you once the current driver is removed.
- On your keyboard, press the Windows logo + R keys simultaneously to open the Run box. Then type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter to open Device Manager.
- Scroll down and find System devices. Click it and look for your audio program. It could be Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller or High Definition Audio Controller.
- Double-click it and go to the Driver tab. Click Uninstall Driver.
- After rebooting, the problem should be solved.
