The audio output device driver cannot be found. I need to reinstall it. I was advised to use Intel Smartfound Technology (Intel(r)SST), but I can't find it in the "Device Manager" section. What can I do to fix the audio output problem on my laptop?
It looks like your system isn’t recognizing the audio output driver, which can happen if the Intel Smart Sound Technology driver or the chipset drivers aren’t installed properly. A good reference is this similar discussion on the Intel forums, where users shared tips on finding and installing the correct audio driver: https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/cannot-find-audio-driver/m-p/1697191.
