Windows 10: how to fix device settings not migrated for audio output

windows update was installed yesterday, and now every time the laptop lid is shut, the audio that was previously playing stops and no there is no sound output until the device is shut down/restarted. I have tried to troubleshoot the issue and have attempted to update the windows software again, but there is no new update. The device status claims that 'this device is working properly' which is untrue. Is there anything I can do to resolve the issue urgently.

I've tried every step that was suggested, still getting no audio output device installed.

 

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.

 

audio output device

My surface pro seven suddenly does not have sound. It says there is no audio output driver. I talked to someone at microsoft and they had me uninstall and reinstall updates. I cannot reinstall an audio driver because the device manager list of devices does
not even show sound as an option anymore. The rep I talked to finally said he had no more suggestions.

I am not sure how to fix this or why it happened.
