Probably you’re just installing the latest Windows update<\/strong>, if now you’re having audio issues on your computer as many other Windows 10\/11 users,\u00a0like no sound through HDMI, and looking for the correct Intel High Definition Audio driver<\/strong>, you’ve got in the right place.\u00a0Go with this post,\u00a0you would know how to download the correct Intel High Definition Audio driver for your Windows 10\/11 in a second.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick the way you prefer:<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Intel High Definition Audio driver could refer to either Intel Display Audio driver<\/strong> or your audio controller driver<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Update Intel High Definition Audio Driver Automatically (Recommended)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Download & install the correct Intel High Definition Audio Driver manually<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Roll back your driver<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Method 1: Update Intel High Definition Audio Driver via Driver Easy Automatically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you don\u2019t have the time, patience or computer skills to update the Intel High Definition Audio driver<\/strong> manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don\u2019t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don\u2019t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don\u2019t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can update your drivers automatically with either the 7 days free trial<\/strong><\/a> or the Pro version<\/strong><\/a> of Driver Easy. It takes just 2 clicks, and you get full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee with the Pro version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Download <\/a>and install Driver Easy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now<\/strong> button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Click the Activate & Update<\/strong> button next to the flagged device to automatically download and install the correct version of this driver.

      Or click Update All<\/strong> to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (You\u2019ll need the       Pro version<\/a><\/strong> for this \u2013 when you select Update All, you\u2019ll get a prompt to upgrade. If you\u2019re not prepared to purchase the Pro version yet, Driver Easy provides a 7-day trial at no cost, granting access to all Pro features like fast downloads and easy installation.

      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      If you need assistance, please contact\u00a0Driver Easy\u2019s support team\u00a0at\u00a0support@drivereasy.com<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      <\/a>Method 2: Download & install the correct Intel High Definition Audio Driver manually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Without asking for a driver updater for help, you can also choose to directly download the driver for your audio card and audio controller manually from its manufacturer’s website. Or if you’re using a brand laptop, you can download the drivers from your laptop’s official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here we take Intel display audio driver<\/strong> as an example to show you how to download and install the driver manually.
      <\/code> <\/code><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Intel offers audio drivers together with graphics card drivers. So you need to download the graphics driver to get the audio driver.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Go to Intel Downloads Center<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Type <\/span>Intel HD Graphics + Model Number <\/strong>in the <\/span>Search <\/strong>box. Then press <\/span>Enter<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> (Here we take <\/span>Intel HD Graphics 5500 <\/strong>as an example)<\/span>
        <\/code> <\/code> <\/code> <\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Choose Windows 10 64-bit <\/strong>or Windows 10 32-bit (according to your PC)<\/strong> from the drop-down menu.
        \"\"\/<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Choose the first<\/strong> item of the page as it is the latest version.
        <\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Click the .exe<\/strong> file to download and install by prompts easily.
        \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Restart your computer to make changes take effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Method 3: Uninstall your driver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If updating your drivers won’t help, uninstalling the latest driver might work for you. Windows will install the last working audio driver back for you once the current driver is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. On your keyboard, press the Windows logo + R keys <\/strong>simultaneously to open the Run box. Then type devmgmt.msc <\/strong>and hit Enter to open Device Manager.
          \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Scroll down and find System devices<\/strong>. Click it and look for your audio program. It could be Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller <\/strong>or High Definition Audio Controller<\/strong>.
          \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Double-click it and go to the Driver<\/strong> tab. Click Uninstall Driver<\/strong>.
          \"\" <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. After rebooting, the problem should be solved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n
