Why don't I have sound in Windows 10 build 10041?

[Windows Central Question]

Windows 10 build 10041. No sound.

I have built in Realtek High Defenition Audio device (VEN_10EC&DEV_0269) with latest driver available (v. 6.0.1.7458).
But I have no sound and system says that I have no audio device installed.

I`ve tried default windows driver - no result.
I`ve tried download Realtek driver from official web site - no result.
Just - no audio device.

Seems to be a known issue in that build. There's a few threads around with some potential fixes you could try.

HP Stream 7 and ElitePad 900 both have sound with build 10041. Had to reinstall the Bluetooth driver to get them to connect to my headset. Occasionally, they'll actually pair! What usually works is to uninstall the headset and re-pair.

I had no sound on previous build using a Conexant High Definition SmartAudio , I turned off enhancements and it works with 10041.

I have exactly the same problem. Sound was working until build 10041. Now no sound with "no audio output device is installed" message.
Realtek drivers fail to install.

Same for me. Realtek driver installation always fails. So sound.

This worked for me too on an Acer 5830TG.

Had the same issue. Installing default drivers called "Hd Audio device" helped.
