Computer Savvy People... HELP!

[splent]

I have Windows 10 (I downloaded the free upgrade because I HATED Windows 8... this is better lol) anyways earlier today my audio stopped working... troubleshooting doesn't work, I shut down and turned it back on and it didn't work.  It says when I hover over the sound icon (with the x) it says "No speakers or headphones plugged in" and when I go into properties it says the sound device isn't plugged in.   How do I get my sound back?  Anyone?

I would suggest going into the device manager and deleting the device.  Then do a refresh  (so that it searches new devices ) and have it thus reinstall the drivers.

It's all good now.  I restarted (again) and a whole bunch of updates and now it's ok.

Cool! 

Just a hint, we have a pc thread were you can ask stuff like this:

Huh. I've installed Windows 10 on two machines and the audio stopped working on both of them. I uninstalled the mobo's Realtek audio drivers and let the Windows drivers handle it. Fixed the issue.

Windows 10 doesn't like sound
