5.1 sound still not working, realtek still not working. Are they shitting us? I just upgraded thinking that it might have been resolved. Seriously Microsoft? And no one is taking it up at them?

In reply to Ron. The Insiders did report these issues. That's all we can do.

My audio says no speakers or head phones are plugged in, after I updated Windows 10, When I troubleshoot playback, It says this device is working properly

5mil+ insiders but only 1 MS tech on the other end.
MS is too occupied with new things to sell in the store and priority
goes their.
I noticed that most gpu drivers get updates from the OEM now as MS
took too much heat for failed drivers and frying $1000.00 cards.
My realtek hd audio on a hp g7 got removed with 1703 and installed a basic hd audio driver, but
after doing some research found that the basic driver did not implement the hardware
properly and could cause the chip to overheat and fry it.
So got the driver for win8 from hp and installed it again.
Had the same issue using sb x-fi and reltech ddlive, what a nightmare win10 has evolved into.

MSI Laptop with the Realtek chipset and the audio has been broken by the windows update.Unfortunately this update has broken my S/PDIF output. I get cracking out of one speaker. When testing through the driver it works fine (and if audio is playing via another app I can hear this as well), as soon as the test stops I get no sound again. Really not good. Have spent hours tonight installing alternative drivers but to no success.

Have this same problem with my MSI X99A Gaming 9 ACK motherboard. It removed a few of my audio drivers and shows the yellow triangle in device manager. It did allow my LG monitor speakers and obviously wireless headphones to work fine. Just not the internal Realtek audio device integrated with my motherboard. I guess I will just leave my surround sound system out of the mix until this is sorted out. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Me too. Realtek no sound. Tried all solutions. Completely Uninstalled Nvidia(Guru), disabled Nvidia GTX550ti(four devices) on Sound and System devices(one device), installed older Realtek drivers. Nothing works. No speakers no earphones

Been waiting TWO YEARS for a fix. This article was written two months ago and STILL NO FIX. Last Windows device I’ll ever purchase. I knew I should have bought another Mac when I bought my laptop. Windows sucks. I’m thinking it’s time for a class action lawsuit.

In reply to Ron.

Windows kept bugging me about this update, and finally I said yes.
Would have expected them to pause the rollout until they had figured out these problems.

According to this article, they have known about this for at least a month(May 19’th today), but keep pushing it.

When going win7-> win10, the network drivers messed up and I had to manually limit the available speed/duplex. And now I don’t have sound.
