Fix Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Video Player Sound Issue

Fix Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Video Player Sound Issue? For the last few months, I’ve been facing intermediate video player and sound issues with Microsoft Surface.  In Windows 10, sound/audio and video player issues are not very rare.

I tried to update the Audio drivers without any luck. I still don’t have a permanent fix or resolution for Microsoft Surface Audio/Sound issue. There is an ugly workaround to fix the issue temporarily, and that is explained in this post. So what about the video player issue?

Most of the time, Windows 10 Microsoft Surface video player issues are because of issues with sound/audio. Once we fix the audio/sound issue, then the video player issue will get resolved automatically.

  1. Navigate through Device Manager and expand the section called Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. Click on the Audio/Sound device called “Intel SST Audio Device (WDM)” and click on the UNINSTALL (X icon) button on top of the device manager page.
  2. Sometimes Windows 10 surface will prompt to restart of the machine to complete the uninstall. If so, it’s better to restart the machine as soon as possible. After the restart, the surface will automatically add the default sound drivers, which will fix the issue.
  3. If it’s not prompting for restart to complete the Windows 10 surface audio/sound driver uninstallation, go to the top left-hand corner of the device manager and right-click on the computer name (Anoop in my case) – tap/click on “scan for hardware changes”. This will automatically get your audio/sound driver into the Windows 10 surface machine. This fixed the audio and sound issue of my Windows 10 Surface.
  4. Even I tried to update the Windows 10 drivers for Surface 3 without any success/luck. Update Driver Software – Intel SST Audio Device (WDM) – “The best driver software for your device is already installed“.
