Hi

since your problem dates back to yesterday, perform a system restore to a date before your issue

press the Windows+R keys

in the window that opens, type RSTRUI.EXE and click OK

follow the prompts for the restoration...

if you have any questions...

see you later

JCM · Answer

I have a /!\ in front of High Definition Audio Controller.
I also had one in front of NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device. It told me that the driver was up to date. I uninstalled it following instructions on the Internet, and since then I can't reinstall it; I might have messed up.

Hi Kaneagle

there’s also this peripheral that JCM uninstalled/removed:

NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) Drivers

and he no longer has any devices in "audio, video, and game controllers"

I don’t have that category anymore.

I have a link for NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) Drivers

on this page:

https://www.driverscape.com/download/nvidia-virtual-audio-device-(wave-extensible)-(wdm

I don’t know what you think

JCM · Answer

Damn, even following the steps, Windows tells me that the driver is already up to date...

kaneagle · Answer

What do you have in audio, video, and game controllers?  Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

JCM · Answer

I reinstalled the NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device, but there's still a yellow triangle like there was before I uninstalled it.

kaneagle · Answer

Is it always the High Definition Audio Controller that has a yellow triangle?  -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

JCM · Answer

Both, NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device AND High Definition Audio Controller.

kaneagle · Answer

NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device  Try this driver --> nVidia   -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

Nothing new... What a hassle!

The dxdiag command doesn't find any sound card. I've also seen that it can be disabled in the BIOS. However, I can't find anything related to sound in the BIOS...

JCM · Answer

Knowing that Windows tells me each time that the driver is up to date, can the problem still come from that?

Is Windows up to date?  If not, go to Start Settings (cogwheel) Update & Security Check for updates.  -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.
