1) Open Control Panel from the Start Menu
2) Open Device Manager
3) Scroll down and double-click on Sound, video and game controllers
4) Double-click Realtek High Definition Audio
5) Click Driver tab
6) Click Disable
7) Then click Enable

I just had the same problem and this worked perfectly.

Ask a question

worked for me to. Just happened today for the first to ever.
Thank you SO much NCSU....followed your steps and it worked perfectly. I'm working on my Masters online and needed a QUICK fix, you are the man! :)
So sorry to say it didn't work for me, I've had this problem for a whole week now and it's driving me up the wall. It all started after I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate. it worked great prior to the reinstall job....
Do you have to restart your computer after disable/enable?? I tried this and still no sound
you need reinstall the window if you have 64bit currently then change to 32bit and every thing will work
There is no audio entry in device manager, so how do you clickon something that is not there.
Thanks...had this prob after updating my drivers...working now!
Every time I do a windows update I have to reinstall the driver. Luckily my sound does come back every time though.
My Realtek status says "the device is currently waiting on another device or set of devices to start(code 51)" can I know what d device(s) is?
Thank you! This was easy to understand and follow. Worked first time.
This worked for my Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10 . . thank you very much.
This works, but only for like 3 seconds and then my icon speak along with sound goes back to the same problem. Help please X_X

Hey guys, If you have Windows 7 or any other system and have tried EVERYTHING give this a try:
Click Start
Type 'run'
Click the run program (with the blue box)
In the window that pops up type 'regedit'
Window: 'User account control' Click YES
Go to 'HKEY lOCAL MACHINE'
'SYSTEM'
'CurrentControlSet'
'Control'
'Class'
'{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}'
Once in the folder, delete any upper or lower filter's data (In my case I found 'UpperFilters')
Double click on the one/s you find
In the box you will see the value name, and value data
Underneath 'value data:' Delete all words in the box then click 'OK'
Close all files and folders and restart your computer
When it returns your volume symbol should be all white (No red X) and sound should be working. I really hope this helps anyone and was easy to follow. Good luck!!! :)

If you dont understand the registry, stay out of it, or you will turn your pc into a brick!
