Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I have faced this problem just last month. What happens is I am using my notebook as per usual, when I used it again the audio wasn't working. I can see that the volume mixer is working perfectly fine, green bars of audio level are visible indicating sound is working but I still don't get any audio. Last time I fixed the issue by completely formatting my C drive and installing Windows 10 from a bootable drive. This time I don't want to go through that hassle again. 

 

This time I have checked the Device Manager and found High Defition Audio Device with the yellow marker. The error it is giving is,

 

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

 

Please if anyone can help me I will be utterly grateful because I don't want to reinstall my windows once again.

 

Many Thanks,

Saad
