Windows 10: My audio works only when I restart my computer, else is not working and I am using Windows 11

I am using Windows 11 for quite some time. They did some automatic updates, and my audio stopped working. Every time I have to restart my computer to make the audio work. If I leave the computer locked and when I reopen, the audio won't work. I need help in restoring my audio.

Windows 11 audio not working

Windows 11 audio not working.

Tried almost all option->Uninstall and reinstall audio drivers.
Checked audio ouput/input devices
Tried audio troubleshooter.
Checked default settings for audio
Very randomly audio works on restart..and it stays for a while and again goes as no audio device installed.

Upon restart, it will work for a while again.
Note: This problem started after recent windows update and it is very common issue with different model computers and specific to windows 11.

Not sure Windows team can sort their update issue instead of suggesting a clean install of windows and wasting our time.

 

Windows Audio doesnt work, everytime a restart is required to bring back the audio

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for providing suggestions. I have tried all the listed troubleshooting before I raise an question over here.

None of the things helped....in few steps it makes Audio work(Only because of the Restart that is made) again if I shutdown my system and start back after couple of minutes/hours audio doesn't work.

Thank You!!

 

internet audio isnt working

Hard data works on the desktop through software but streaming audio or flash audio through internet browsers doesnt seem to play.

im working on this problem on someone else's computer. i've updated their realtek audio controllers through windows update, i've uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash, i've tried both IE and FF3 and i still dont see any resolve.

if there's anything that can be done or if anyone else has had this problem in the past, suggestions are welcomed.

this computer is a compaq with vista home premuim, 1G ram, intel chipsets, and realtek audio controllers.
