The main reason for this issue is a broken or incompatible Realtek or Intel audio driver that was installed during the update. Sometimes, it can also be caused by problems with Bluetooth settings or audio drivers not matching up after a BIOS update. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Run the Audio Troubleshooter
The first step you should take when experiencing any sound-related issues in Windows is to run the built-in audio troubleshooter.
2. Update or Roll Back the Driver
It’s possible that the problem is caused by incompatibility with the audio driver. In this case, you should either update the driver to the latest version or roll it back to a previous version.
2.1 Update the Driver
We will use the Device Manager for this.
2.2 Roll Back the Driver
If you recently updated your driver, rolling back to a previous version can sometimes resolve the problem.
3. Uninstall KB5017321 and KB5017026 (If Applicable)
Sometimes, new system updates can create conflicts and cause unexpected issues. Many users found that the KB5017321 and KB5017026 updates were responsible for audio problems, and uninstalling them resolved the issue.
