Hi all, after the latest Windows updates, and a dedicated RealTek audio update (that I cannot rollback), my speakers stopped working.
The speakers do beep when I am in the BIOS, and the audio does work if I plug an external device, but the built-in speakers don't play any audio, even though Windows says everything is fine.
Anyone else having this issue?

For the record, three out of three laptops of the same model are giving the same issue.
