hp envy 17-j141na notebook
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HI, I have an Envy 17-j141na notebook. I had to do a system restore after a crash and the blue screen. All seems to be working now except for my sound . I had no previous problems with sound. I have followed all the prompts in HP Assistant and it helpfully decided no speakers found (same for no mic found).  In device manager under sounds , it just had 1 item. (I am sure it had 3/4 prior to restore). I have literally just gone back to see what that one item is - and there isn't even a 'sound' option anymore in device Manager. I am not a technical person and am completely at a loss. Please can you suggest what to do next. ( anything you need me to do, please can you give clear guidelines) ty.

You are a Genius !!!!! thank you soooo much. I have been following HP Assistant prompts for hours and nothing worked. Thank you so much !!! (ps. I don't know what you did, but I also got my bookmarks back that had disappeared lol) seriously ! thank you ! *reminder to self, next time, come here first*.    (as an aside, my system is suggesting my RAM is 12gb. I am sure it was I tb before, or am I getting mixed up?)
