I will take the various options you gave, and address them one by one. None of them worked for me.
First, the information on the back of the mini pc showing serial number and model number is included in my original post. I purchased it from Amazon in Feb of 2023, so I know it is past the one year support date but I still need to get it working.
I have addressed each of your suggestions below in order:
When I go to the Sound settings, it states “No audio devices are installed”, although I have a bluetooth speaker installed and another speaker installed by USB and another one plugged into the earphone jack. The computer will not recognize any sound output device and if I try to install a new one, it just spins and eventually says it cannot find any.
I ran the troubleshooter. I ran it many times. It keeps just saying I have no sound output devices installed and will not go forward.
I downloaded the driver file, but there are no devices to install any new drivers. The driver file is not self-executing, so I have to have a sound device installed so I can search this file for a new driver. However, there are no sound output devices installed and it will not allow me to install one.
There is no CMOS button on this machine. I have searched all areas for a pinhole to do as your video shows, but there is no pinhole.
Your email did not include a number 5 solution.
BIOS version is FP655U505
Updating the BIOS was the only thing I could come up with that could fix the problem. Let me know if there is anything I missed.
