Zenbook Sound Card Not Working in WIndows 11

[XE1UFO]

Hello. I have a UX3402Z OLED model (Spanish keyboard) and on Windows, sound is not working since last Windows 11 upgrade. I have tried device manager to no avail.

On same machine running Linux, Pop_OS, Fedora, or Slimbook_OS audio works great. On Linux Mint, also no audio. 

The text under the Fin key says: Sound by Harman/Kardon. 

Thanks in advance!

If you have tested the audio device on different systems and it works properly, then hardware failure can be ruled out.

To eliminate the possibility of a system issue, we recommend reinstalling the Windows 11 system again to confirm.

Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused.

In preparation for the dreaded Windows 11 re-install, I began the laborious process of transferring my files to a backup drive. After several hours, I got a warning about Windows updating. When the update finished and I restarted the laptop, AUDIO WORKS FINE.

  And suddenly audio also works fine in Linux Mint. Not in Manjaro.
