Dell XPS 15 7590 Win10 Audio isnt working. Youtube , muisic and other videos worthless. Was fine last night. Might be from Windows Update. Red x next to audio control in system tray. Tried update drivers, restarting a gazillion times, virus and malware programs, win10 audio troubleshooter, even system restore last 2 time. And of bloody course, system restore wont reset back. Any ideas? Tried this stuff:Fixed: “No Audio Output Device Is Installed” Error on Windows
Sorry but that article seems to cover all the items of which I can think other than the 12 inch drop kick which is not recommended. Wish I could offer more than commiseration.
Are you good at taking and posting screenshots? I'd be interested in seeing the device manager (Right click Start Menu, go to Device Manager). There are 2 sections that would applicable, Sound, Video, and Game Controllers and Unknown Devices. This is a quick, easy, non-invasive check since you aren't changing anything. If it were me, I'd try downgrading the driver instead of upgrading it to see if regains functionality and go from there. Again, if it were me, I'd also check the BIOS and see if there are any sound controller options in there that look out of whack.
Checked Device Manager and both audio devices are functioning normally. And BIOS is another universe to me. Didnt check Unknown devices. Ill copy paste both these sections later on.
