"Hi @lloyddragneel ,

As I said earlier I believe that you have on onboard VIA audio controller scroll down to Audio

Here is a link to the drivers for the board

Select the OS (Win 8 either 32 or 64 bit) and then click on the Sound driver. (it looks greyed out but click on it).

Take notice about the BIOS update supposedly required for Win 8.

This link for drivers from driverscape sort of confirms that the audio is VIA HD

Update (01/27/2018)

Hi @lloyddragneel ,

I'm wondering if this is because of the note in the Audio driver download area that states:

''To support Microsoft Windows 8 OS, corresponding BIOS and drivers update are required. Please link to http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/ECS_win8/win...

Perhaps you could try the drivers supplied by driverscape as they say that they are also for Win 10 64-bit.

Also I've noticed that Driverscape calls it a High Definition Audio Device, the same name as you mentioned in one of your comments, that was one of the 2 audio controllers being shown. Normally with controllers they mention the makers name in Device Manager so it is very coincidental that they have the same ""nondescript title""

Also just curious as to what version of Win 10 you installed?

Was it the same version as you had before or the latest version 1709 Fall creators Update?

I had to roll back a computer to 1706 because 1709 caused problems with my mobile wireless dongle - it didn't support it!"

I had the same problem as you, but it was a bit different computer. I had a mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina 15,6 Inch, I bought it just for work, that time I was a Dj and mac is pretty comfortable to work with music. Moreover I could mark genres with different colours and it was awesome because I didn't need to waste time to arrange them in folders. But besides work, I wanted to play my favourite World of Warcraft which was supported only by Windows, so I needed to install it with boot camp assistant. The unique problem was that drivers were too old ( I don't know why). I'm lucky my classmate recommended me a website with best driver updaters.
