So I've had this problem for quite a while and I have no idea why. I've seen multiple articles about how to fix it but none has worked so far.
I have an Acer Aspire 3, and the audio just stopped working one day.
I've tried removing and re-installing the audio drivers and nothing happened. I've used the troubleshoot function multiple times where it recognized something was wrong but was unable to do anything about it. And I've tried removing the audio drivers and restarting the computer which re-installed the drivers automatically. That's all the solutions I've come by and none has worked on my computer.

    Go to Acer's support website, enter your precise computer model number and then download the realtek audio driver.

    You need to install the driver using the installer exe and also you need to install the realtek audio console.
  • The same problem occurs, when reinstalling windows, pressing alt + f10 before the acer logo?

    I dont want to re-install my windows because I have a lot of valuable files on this computer. I cant copy them to a USB drive.
  • Did you try to restore windows to an earlier date than the problem?

    Unzip the file, run setup.exe and then run Microsoft Store to pull the app.

    I can't restore because I updated the PC...

    Unzip what file?
  • I suggest you download a live linux distribution, to check if the sound problem still occurs.

    I did this exact thing two weeks ago and it didn't work then, but then I tried it again, and it worked. Thank you.
