Audio

I have Widows 10 on my desktop PC. It came installed. After a Windows 10 update, my computer lost audio capabilities. Tried to update new driver but couldn't find a download on HP site. How can I get the audio to work?

Hi:

What is the full model number or product number of your PC?

The product number can be found on the same label as the serial number.

Please do not post the serial number.

The model you posted appears to be for a printer.

I hope this helps you to locate an audio driver that I can download for the computer.

Thank you for your time and patience with my request.

Hi:

See if installing this W10 IDT audio driver and restarting the PC, gets the sound to work again...

This package provides the Tempo High Definition Audio Driver for supported desktop models that are running a supported operating system.

Paul, the download won't work. I get a message saying that Microsoft an only install an app that is certified by Microsoft store. 
What should I do?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You must have W10 in S mode then.

You can only install drivers and software from the windows store on the W10 S operating system.

That driver is right from your PC's support page.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you get the sound to work.

I got the sound back by resetting the Microsoft audio app. Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping me, Paul.
