Lost audio

[BaoTran12]

My laptop just lost audio all of a sudden, the speakers stopped working.   I did not install anything new.  I tried everything including restarting, running audio check, chatting with virtual agent and running a lot more tests, nothing works.  Now I have to use Bluetooth headphones if I want to listen to music or do zoom meeting, it's quite inconvenience, can someone please help?

What is your HP ENVY 15x360 PC  ? I think it is a machine with AMD processor. Ii YES, please try

(a) Uninstall Audio driver

(b) do a cleanup using following information/fix:

(c) reboot machine

Machine will re-install Audio driver for you.

Otherwise, please post back what is the model/product of your machine.

Alright, I uninstalled the audio, performed AMD cleanup, rebooted both before and after, the audio was automatically installed back, but it still doesn't work, sound test doesn't produce any sound..
