I've attempted this numerous times. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Even if it does work, after 1 restart the drivers automatically revert back a non-working version of 'Speaker/Headphone (Realtek High Definition Audio (SST))' with the audio and microphone not working again. I've also installed the updated to the latest bios without any success in fixing the audio/microphone.

Looks like the driver may be getting installed from the Windows updates. I recommend you stop that driver from getting installed on the computer.

Here is how it is done.

1. Right click the Start button and select Control Panel.

2. Make your way to System and Security.

3. Click System.

4. Click Advanced system settings from the left sidebar.

5. Select the Hardware tab.

6. Press the Device Installation Settings button.

7. Choose No, and then press the Save Changes button.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi,

Still doesnt work? 😕

I understand your concerns.

In that case, I would suggets you perform the system reset.

Windows 10 has a reset feature that repairs your computer by reinstalling the operating system. This feature is recommended for recovery because it reinstalls Windows 10 while either preserving your personal data and customizations or removing all your personal data.

You have a choice of two methods to reset your computer.

• If Windows 10 loads correctly, see the section titled Perform a Windows 10 system reset in Windows in this document.

• If Windows 10 does not start correctly, see the section titled Perform a Windows 10 system reset through Windows Recovery Environment in this document.

Have a nice day!!
