I turned on my laptop as usual and found out that the speaker icon is grayed out. Restarted it and even though the speaker icon is normal there is no sound output both from the laptop and a earphone installed.

I have tried windows audio troubleshooter, uninstalling the senary audio from device manager and restarting to reinstall, and neither has worked.

My touchpad recently has been acting up as well, with the touchpad driver automatically uninstalling itself as times. Could the two issues be related?
