1 Restart PC

If your audio driver installation is stuck, the first and simplest step to take is to restart your computer. This can resolve temporary glitches that may be causing the installation process to hang. When you restart, Windows 10 will close all running programs and processes, potentially clearing any conflicts that might be interrupting the driver installation. After the system reboots, attempt to install the audio driver again and see if the issue persists. This is a quick and often effective solution that can save you time before delving into more complex troubleshooting steps.

Revert to older version of driver, reboot and try again. Although with Windows 10 99% of all driver updates are provided by Windows with an internet connection. Unlike Windows XP back in the day.

2 Run Troubleshooter

Windows 10 includes a variety of troubleshooters designed to quickly diagnose and resolve common problems. If restarting your computer didn't help, you should run the built-in audio troubleshooter. To access it, go to the Settings menu, then Update & Security, and select Troubleshoot. Choose 'Playing Audio' and follow the on-screen instructions. The troubleshooter will check for issues and apply fixes automatically where possible. It can detect and repair problems related to audio services or identify if the problem lies with the driver itself.

Go to manufacturers site, check for relevant driver updates, BIOS update. Try windows update. Download Belarc Advisor and run on your system for a full software/hardware audit, which will help identify missing updates, hot fixes etc, and what drivers should be used. best of luck

3 Check Updates

Keeping your Windows 10 system up to date is crucial for the smooth operation of your business's IT infrastructure. Outdated system files can cause conflicts with new driver installations. To check for updates, navigate to Settings, then Update & Security, and click on Windows Update. If there are any available updates, install them as they may contain fixes that resolve your audio driver issue. After updating, try installing the audio driver again. It's possible that the update process will also update the audio driver to a version that's more compatible with your system.

Windows update is a must. Some generic drivers can solved the issue. If not working after the update then you can download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.

4 Device Manager

The Device Manager in Windows 10 is a powerful tool that lets you view and manage hardware devices and their drivers. If your audio driver installation is stuck, open Device Manager by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting it from the menu. Locate the 'Sound, video and game controllers' section, right-click on your audio device, and select 'Update Driver.' Choose 'Search automatically for updated driver software' to let Windows find and install the driver for you. If that doesn't work, you can try uninstalling the device and then scanning for hardware changes to reinstall it.

5 Safe Mode

If the normal environment is not allowing the audio driver installation to complete, booting into Safe Mode might be the answer. Safe Mode starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services. To enter Safe Mode, hold down the Shift key while selecting Restart from the Start menu. Once in the Advanced Startup menu, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click Restart. After your PC reboots, press 4 to select 'Enable Safe Mode.' Try installing the audio driver in this mode, as fewer running processes and services could prevent conflicts.

6 Clean Boot

A clean boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This can help eliminate software conflicts that occur when installing an audio driver. To perform a clean boot, type 'System Configuration' in the search box on the taskbar and select it from the results. Go to the Services tab, check 'Hide all Microsoft services,' and then click 'Disable all.' Next, open the Task Manager and disable all startup items. Restart your computer and attempt the audio driver installation again. If successful, you can enable services and startup items one by one to identify the conflict source.
