[SOLVED] No sound in Windows 10...help!

[Music Alchemist]

My computer qualifies for a free upgrade to Windows 10. After clicking the upgrade button, the "Starting download" screen shows up, but nothing happens after. I did some Google research and tried various things, but nothing worked. I know this section is technically about computer audio, but I figured there would be people here who could help me out.
 
Now there is no sound! I need advice on getting the audio to work.

  did you go through the toolbar icon that offers the win10 upgrade? i have not had good luck with that thing working
 
you can download a windows 10 upgrade tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 to upgrade anytime, might have better luck using that.

 
I tried all that. When you download the file from the link you provided, it just opens the same prompt as the toolbar icon.

Well that was random...Windows Update just popped up and it says it's now downloading Windows 10. I think it's because I told it to check for updates earlier today.

I managed to install Windows 10...but now, there's NO SOUND! Argh...

I have the same issue! How did you resolve it? I ended up reverting to 7.

I experimented. Don't even recall what solved the issue now. haha. But I think it involved right-clicking the sound icon, then clicking playback devices and selecting Speakers (High Definition Audio Device), which is supposed to be the default anyway. I may have also uninstalled/reinstalled some stuff. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
