I need an Intel Smart Sound Technology driver that is suitable for i7-8565U CPU and Windows 11; 

Since updating my Windows 10 laptop to Windows 11 and installing the latest drivers, the sound on my laptop no longer works. In Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the Intel Smart Sound Technology Driver OED and the system speakers are greyed out. The system says: no device is installed.

Could you help me?

You need to get the correct version of the sound drivers provided by your motherboard/system manufacturer. Once you have them, I suggest that you completely uninstall all of the existing sound drivers and then install those package(s) received from your manufacturer. Most manufacturers have these drivers available for download on their websites.
