computer audio devices help

[Josef]

Okay, I am not really sure what happened because it was working perfectly fine earlier today but as I started up my PC recently after I shut it down earlier obviously finishing with using it, no audio devices have been detected at all. At first I thought it was just my microphone but then I realised my earphones don't work either and I went and checked and it said 'no audio devices are installed', I have no clue why it has done this and just to state a few things...
1. I have already tried updating the drivers and uninstalling them and letting them install automatically.
2. I have tried updating my windows
3. I have tried disabling and re-enabling them.
4. I have tried unplugging my microphone and earphones and plugging them back in.
and yes I've tried turning it on and off again.

I would appreciate any help as I have tried everything I would assume is the problem, I am currently on windows 10 and I've tried the earphones on another device and they work perfectly fine.

Spoiler: sounds setting thing

what audio manager do you use?

 

[Josef]

i don't understand audio stuff, i'm going to take a wild guess and just say I use NVIDIA

Spoiler: eh

Search for "Device manager" on windows, go to "Sound, video and game controllers". It should display it there. e.g Realtek High Definition Audio

 

[Josef]

@Jay_ only two there are these ones

edit: pretty sure realtek high def. audio use to be there but it's just gone now

@Josef try searching for realtek in windows

 

[Josef]

@Jay_ can't find it, literally seems like it has just disappeared. i might try finding it online and downloading it.

@Josef it depends on the motherboard, what motherboard do you have?

 

[Josef]

@Jay_ eh... let me find out. two seconds

Windows has changed the way to change sound devices the good old way, do this

Once you see the tab in the last image make sure that everything is disabled in Playback except for your Speakers and that your speakers are set as default device as well as default communication device.

 

[Josef]

'speakers' doesn't show up for me and when I try to troubleshoot problems thing, it says no devices are detected and tells me to plug it in which both my microphone and earphones are plugged in.

 

[Creepis]

Go on your motherboard manufacturers site aswell as your model and download the audio drivers

 

[Josef]

edit: okay, will try that.

 

[Yaseen]

have you tried to download realtek ?

 

[Josef]

yes

 

[Yaseen]

maybe best way to solve this is to look in youtube videos

 

[Josef]

i've tried, nothing helps

 

[Josef]

@Creepis trying motherboard and model drivers installation doesn't work either
