Hi.
I have a Toshiba C55 Satellite Laptop. I5 Processor running windows 10 Home 64 BIT. I have owned from new, for the last 2 years or so the sound has not worked, Id like to fix it if feasible
I plan to upgrade the RAM to 8GB and keep for a while as its fine for my basic laptop needs of browsing
Problem Statement
No Sound/Audio from onboard speakers or the 3.5mm headphone Jack. (It will emit sound from a blue tooth connected speaker or via TV/AMP via blue tooth)

I have searched google for the answer, however the responses focus in the main on drivers and software but do not rectify the issue.
When I review status in device manager there is no visible sounds/Audio Icon to open. (see attached)
When I search in 'sound's via Control panel "no devices found" is evident,
When I right mouse click on the task bar audio icon (which is constantly muted) ""Speaker set up unknown is the response.
I have downloaded 'speccy' and it confirms that no Audio device is detected.
This is starting to feel like a hardware issue to my layman's logic or can someone advise please?
Thanks
Jamie

You've got an audio device showing up in your task manager screenshot under 'other devices', with a yellow warning triangle to indicate it has some sort of problem. Likely a driver related problem given that it's not being categorised as an audio device.

What does the properties page of that device say?

Hi EndlessWaves- thank you for your reply.

The properties tab invites me to update drivers - Code 28 error, which I do via the automatic update option, but then it reveals a 'device to the system not functioning'

Hi Ice, thanks.
I don't have any audio device to uninstall like the example on your kind link, or should I uninstall the audio device on high definition audio USB? on the proviso that on reboot windows will reinstall?
 
@ Icemanonline and @EndlessWaves.

I found a CODEC download on CNET...

and somewhat stumbled my way to a resolution, I now have sound and am feeling quite pleased.

Many thanks to you both for pointers
