No Audio Output Device is installed. Please help

[TomMandane]

Hello, i have had my desktop for a little over a year now, never had any problems until today, i formatted my computer last night (removed all my files) however, i did not chose the option to clean my driver as i was a bit unsure, the reset was good and successful, my computer loaded a little after 2 hours and with windows 10 working, but it was then that i noticed my sound was not working, i spent all day trying to figure it out, I have tried installing realtek drivers and HP, nothing worked, when i tried to update my current driver it would not work either. When i hover over the sound icon in the bottom left corner of my screen this comes up "No Audio Output Device is installed" i have tried looking on the internet but nothing works, any help?? Here are some screenshots

Hi:

See if this driver resolves the problem.  Install and restart the PC.

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