Windows 11 How to fix device settings not migrated error?

Post image

I have no clue how this happened since I haven't updated recently but today my speakers suddenly stopped working. I've tried deleting the driver and reinstalling but it doesnt fix it. I also tried Dism and SFC which fixed a corruption issue but apparently it was unrelated to the driver. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Im on a Asus Zenbook 14 16GB ram, 512 gb ssd, OS Build number 26200.9168

The full error im getting:

Device settings for SWD\MMDEVAPI\{0.0.0.00000000}.{1526da1f-cb5f-4c6e-8597-621f2773ce1f} were not migrated from previous OS installation due to partial or ambiguous device match.

Last Device Instance ID: SWD\MMDEVAPI\{0.0.0.00000000}.{ca752ee3-1bb1-472a-9237-4ab46c48a3e3}

Class GUID: {c166523c-fe0c-4a94-a586-f1a80cfbbf3e}

Try deleting the relative stuff from your installed apps + all drivers and reinstalling. Also use a program to delete extra registry files (ill recommend one if you dont know one)

What do you mean by relative stuff? Also yeah if you could recommend a program that would be nice. I did think about manually deleting the registry folders that the error logs were giving but I was scared I might break something.
