Windows 11 automatically installs the latest version of device drivers during updates, but can fail, causing issues with audio drivers.
Methods to install audio/sound drivers in Windows 11 include using Windows Update, Device Manager, manual installation from the official website, running the Audio Troubleshooter, and using Driver Updater programs.
To force Windows Update for sound drivers, go to Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. Device Manager can be used to update drivers manually by uninstalling and restarting.
Manually install sound drivers by visiting the PC's manufacturer website, downloading the latest driver, and running the executable file. Running the Audio Troubleshooter and using driver updater programs are other effective methods.
