After a long wait, Windows 10 version 1809 (also known as Windows 10 October 2018 Update) was re-released last week. Even after more than a month of repair and adjustment, there's still a steady stream of reports on issues such as the intermittent interruptions in wireless network issue, the blue screen issue on the devices with AMD Radeon HD 2000/4000 series display cards, and the no sound issue on some HP devices.

And today, due to the conflict between some Intel display drivers and the new version, Microsoft blocks some devices with these drivers from installing Windows 10 version 1809.

According to the company, the Intel display drivers (version 24.20.100.6344 and version 24.20.100.6345) unintentionally released in September are incompatible with Windows 10 version 1809. Therefore, once the devices with these drivers upgrade to Windows 10 version 1809, the audio playback from a monitor or television connected to a PC via HDMI, USB-C or Display port may not function correctly. Currently Microsoft is working with Intel to expire these display drivers and it promises to provide a resolution in an upcoming release.

There is no definitive solution at present. Maybe you can try to roll the driver back to the old version or uninstall it. But the best way is to wait for the resolution from Microsoft.
