After a Windows update my sound stopped working and my wireless mouse also stopped working. In Device Manager there was no audio at all. I repeated the most recent Windows update. Now my mouse works, and audio works with Bluetooth speakers, but there are still no internal speakers. "Audio device not found". I tried downloading the most recent audio drivers from HP, but got the error message: "driver not compatible with OS".

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are facing issues with the audio on your computer and the wireless mouse is not working after a Windows update.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I recommend you run the audio troubleshooter and it will automatically find and fix audio related issues.
Here is how it is done.
- Launch Troubleshooting by typing and clicking “Troubleshooting” in Windows search.
- Click on "Playing Audio".
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you continue facing the issue, then download and install the audio driver from the below link and test.

Thanks for your reply and your help. I have tried your recommended solutions with no success. The Audio troubleshooter didn't work. When I ran it, it simply said that it could not find an audio device. When I looked in "Device manager" under "Sound, video and game controllers" the only things listed were my Bose headphones and my JBL external speaker. I uninstalled them, and the whole section disappeared. Now there is no section under Device Manager that says "sound, video, and game controllers". I tried downloading and opening the drivers before and after removing the devices I mentioned above. Both times I received this error message: "the driver is not supported by this OS version (10.0.19041). Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
