Sound stopped working today and the above message is displayed on the speaker icon.
I have tried the Troubleshooter tool but it reported that it couldn't identify the problem.  I have also tried a system reset, unsuccessfully.

Model is ES1-332-C5KN
Device Manager, Sound... shows Intel (R) Display Audio.  The properties for this say the device is working properly and when I attempted an update it reported that the best driver for this device is already installed.

I would be grateful for advice on how to sort.

    I eventually realised that to run the wizard you open the folder and click on setup. That sorted the problem. Incidentally, I think it was caused by a recent windows update removing realtek!

    I should also have said, Intel (R) Display Audio is the only driver displayed in Device Manager - no sign of Realtek HD Audio Manager. I guess that is the problem.   I can find Realtek on Acer drivers page and have downloaded but am uncertain how to install. It just comes in a zipped file with no obvious sign of how to run.

    I tried all of this, and even installed the drivers from acer's driver site. It prompted me to restart, so I did. When I my computer started again, it still had the problem. I dont understand why this is happening. The problem is no audio input device found. Please help.

    The only way I found to fix this is a workaround: Right click on the speaker icon in the lower right. Then left click on Sound Settings (alternatively go to Sound Settings via the start menu, entering "Sound Settings" in the search box, and press Enter on the keyboard). Next tap the volume up button on the keyboard.
