No Sound. Audio Drivers Stop or uninstall

[Speed601]

Ever since I was somewhat forced to upgrade from Window 8 to 10, my audio has repeatedly stopped working. I've, updated drivers, uninstalled drivers reinstalled drivers, Reset BIOS & run countless HP Audio checks! Sometimes sound comes back for a second then fails again. Anyone got any ideas??

Thank you for the update.

In that case, I would suggets you uninstall the audio drivers and update the chipset drivers. Then restart the computer and install the audio drivers.

Also, update the BIOS.

Please click the below link to download the drivers.

Thank you for trying to help. I clicked on the link you supplied but got this as I have on my own trying to d/l the drivers:

Software and drivers for

HP ENVY 15-j011dx Notebook PC

Choose a different product

Choose a different OS

We were unable to find drivers for your product.

Try manually selecting your operating system. If your operating system is not listed then HP may not provide driver support for your product with that operating system.

Any other ideas you may have, I would love to try them.

I understand your concerns.

Your product not tested for windows 10 operating system. Please refer to the following link.

Three are no proper drivers for windows 10.

• Driver updates for Windows 10, along with many devices, such as network adapters, monitors, printers, and video cards, are automatically downloaded and installed through Windows Update. You probably already have the most recent drivers, but if you'd like to manually update or reinstall a driver, here's how:

  

Update the device driver

• In the search box on the taskbar, enter device manager, then select Device Manager.
• Select a category to see names of devices, then right-click (or press and hold) the one you’d like to update.
• Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
• Select Update Driver.
• If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

Reinstall the device driver

• In the search box on the taskbar, enter device manager, then select Device Manager.
• Right-click (or press and hold) the name of the device, and select Uninstall.
• Restart your PC.
• Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

Have a nice day!!

I have updated my drivers, uninstalled them & reinstalled them. Sometimes this along with or without doing a sound troubleshooting procedure works BUT only temporarily then it goes back to not working. 

Thanks Again for helping

I understand your concerns.

In that case, I would suggets you rollback to the window's previous version.

Or you can reinstall the operating system and check.

Have a nice day!!
