I am having trouble finding a reason as to why I'm not hearing any sound from my Hp pavilion speakers. I've updated all drivers, reset my laptop, ran multiple troubleshooters and find no resolution. The only things I find to be possible culprits are; realtek speakers properties lists the device I'm trying to configure as being "removed" for some reason which I'm not sure how to resolve and; device manager>sound, video and game controller>Realtek (R)audio>driver details>sustem32\drivers\RTAIODAT.DAT-provider,file version, copyright-unknown.

Not sure if that's an issue or an inconsequential anomaly. I did update to windows 11 a few months back but I only resently noticed the sound not working properly. Is there something else that would be helpful to fix this ever frustrating issue?
