No audio device available

[OrlaGuy]

Occasionally when I am using my computer, and I want to use my audio, I go to turn up the volume (I normallly keep it on mute) and it doesn't work. In the bottom right hand corner, where the sound icon is, there is an X in a circle and when I open up more detailed settings, it says there are no audio devices available. However, when I restart my computer it comes back.

I have not been able to find any information on this, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please perform a clean install Audio software/driver, this should help.

   (a) Download the following driver and save on your computer,
                   https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp113001-113500/sp113420.exe

   (b) Go to Device Manager, Sound to uninstall sound driver (Realtek) and reboot,
   (c) Right click downloaded file and select Run as administrator,
   (d) Reboot again.

Regards.
