[NUC] Troubleshooting Audio Issues on NUC

If you experience audio related issues with your NUC, we recommend you first try the following:

  1. Update BIOS (see: BIOS Update and Recovery Instructions for NUC with Visual BIOS).
  2. Install latest HD Graphics driver (see: How to Install an Graphics Driver in Windows® 10 & Windows 11*.
  3. Install latest Realtek* High Definition Audio driver - required for the 3.5mm front panel audio jack (for microphones and headsets).
  4. Try connecting a different speaker or headphones directly to the audio jack connector of the computer.
  5. If using a sound bar, try using a different speaker to isolate the problem.
NoteSome models of NUCs do not have a 3.5mm audio jack (e.g NUC10i5FNHN).
