My headphones/speakers are not bei

[NBirnie]

I recently factory reset this desktop as it was beggining to slow down. Once I tried to test my headphones following the reset, my desktop will not detect any headphones or speakers that work on other devices. When I scroll over the speaker icon in the bottom right, it says, 'No speaker or headphones are plugged in' . After troubleshooting, it says 'the audio peripheral doesnt seem to be plugged in'. Ive tried several solutions online and through hp support and they all have not workerd. Thanks a lot

I have gone through your Post and I would like to help

Please download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

The HPSA will automatically search for all the latest available drivers for your computer

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure your Windows 10 is up to date

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update, and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.

Keep me posted how it goes
