Help! My Asus Vivobook 15 Can't Connect to WiFi or Play Sound
Asked by

I recently purchased an Asus Vivobook 15 X1504VA and installed all the recommended drivers from Asus's site after doing a fresh Windows 11 installation. However, the laptop is having issues—I can't connect to WiFi and there's no sound. I'm not sure where I went wrong. Any advice?

It sounds like the first thing you should do is open the Device Manager and check the status of your WiFi card. Look for any warning signs like a yellow triangle or error codes (like code 10 or code 43). Sometimes, laptops with multiple vendors for drivers can be tricky, so make sure you have the correct driver installed—yours might have options from Realtek, Intel, or Mediatek.

If you've tried both Mediatek and Realtek drivers and nothing's worked, it might be worth double-checking if the WiFi card is properly recognized in Device Manager. Sometimes a fresh install can cause failure to recognize hardware properly. If you're stuck, there’s often helpful info in tech forums.

If you're seeing that yellow triangle, it usually means there's a problem with the driver. I’d recommend uninstalling the current driver and then trying to find the specific Intel driver, which might be what you need. You can usually find it on Intel's website. Good luck!
