Before update to 20H2 speakers were working perfectly fine. After update, not so much. Roll back update, speakers work. Update again, not working. (Bluetooth earbuds, no problems).


Things I have checked/tried.


Mixer-Set where I want it. Volume is on.

Settings-Speakers are the default output.

Troubleshooter-Came down to "let's re-install the audio driver", no change.

Update Driver-No change.

Device SWD\MMDEVAPI\{0.0.0.00000000}.{41a629b2-f532-49ec-99ee-6f5c238c5d08} was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.



Last Device Instance Id: SWD\MMDEVAPI\{0.0.0.00000000}.{8ca69706-4eaf-4dad-9e39-912ff8849406}

Class Guid: {c166523c-fe0c-4a94-a586-f1a80cfbbf3e}

Location Path:

Migration Rank: 0xF00000000000F120

Present: false

Status: 0xC0000719


Also, I'm fairly certain Audio Endpoint was not what was being used pre update, if that matters. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's incredibly frustrating.
