no audio on envy 23 desktop

[waynebanach]

The envy has been relativly trouuble free up until a week ago after a windows up grade though not immediate say a day or so it wouldnt boot up start propblem it said  the only thing I could do was restore to before upgrade.  everything came back end of story.  week later I think it reinstalled windows update, let it go .  no problem for several days until today .  I was in the computer playing microsoft solataire game when I noticed no sound.  so I rebooted firgure shake it loose.  nothing, kept getting cant find device, when I tried to upgrade driver it would kick back found new driver but couldnt install it.  I went all the way to removing diriver totally and letting windows reinstall to no avail no change.  I even defaulted the bios and that is where I am now.  The only thing that bios move did was clear idt high definition audio codec caution sign.  now in device manager when I click on the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC this is what I get. No drivers are installed for this device., manufacturer unknow. I am streached to my limit any help would be of course greatly appreciated.

Hi, @waynebanach

The only suggestion I can offer would be to see if installing this W10 IDT audio driver gets the sound to work again.

Restart the PC after installing...

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

File name: sp71717.exe

Worked like a charm, followed your suggestions to the letter and next thing I hear is a Ding Ding.  Thanks a lot I was at my wits end which seems to be getting shorter these days.  Thanks again
