    Run the Audio troubleshooter in Windows:

    If there is no Realtek audio driver in Device Manager-Sound Video and Game controllers, and this happened recently, restore the system to an earlier date when sound was still working. Type Restore in Search and click on "Create a restore point" and on "System Restore" with a date.

    The X mark on your volume icon might be present because no device has been selected for audio output. The primary device might have been deselected after a major audio driver update or due to a rare system glitch. Please check below troubleshooting steps as well:-
