@glover891, Erica l garrett, If device is newer return for warranty. Check if device is muted maybe, recheck all volume settings, try rebooting the device. If still not working possible a physical issue with the speaker and may need repair internally. You can try a factory reset to defaults, but this will wipe all the data on the tablet and will be like when received new. Below find a few trouble shooting forum links. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

I had yesterday the same problem with my RCA CAMBIO Windows 10. I researched what other ppl have done. Nobody had the answer. I was going to reset my tablet, but before I did the following:
1) I checked in CONTROL PANEL, if any device had a conflict. (yes, there was an unknown device). I Uninstalled it.
2) In Ctrl Panel the Bluetooth had many devices, I disable them.
3) I deleted my device in Sound.........it was good and not
4) After deleting my device in sound, I thought that if I checked for new devices the Windows will reinstall any new devices........No! It installed again the device with conflict......
5) What i did is to installed devices in Control Panel -> Device manager -> Install legal SW (software)
6) I installed first driver from Intel Speaker (Even though mine was Realtek as I have seen, but my hubby RCA Cambio had Intel).
7) It didn't function. Then I downloaded the Realtek drivers and installed them through step 5)
8) After that in my Control Panel Audio Devices appeared intel and Realtek devices
9) I didn't get a sound in that moment....But
10) I check the Sound Icon in the left bottom corner of my table, Selected the playback device and there appeared 2 of them. I selected Speakers (Intel SST AudioDevice (WDM)).....AND NOW MY TABLET HAS SOUND.
Hope my experience is of any help for you!
p.s. The problem happened after updating windows 10

I found the answer to be far easier than that.
Following Meylyn’s advice, I went into Device Manager and found the unknown device. Rather than uninstall it, I selected “install drivers,” allowed Microsoft to search for the drivers, it found a Realtek audio codec, and now I have sound again.
Hope that helps!

How do u get to device manager and what if u don't have any unknown devices
In windows 10 right click the start button icon bottom left corner then chose device manager from list(there are a lot of other great options here to) if u don’t have any unknown devices and no other errors here it means everything has been installed correctly. If not u will see error icons on the device that is not working. I hope this helped you or someone else. I don’t ever post on forums but I thought I had a real effective method for getting to device manager and I felt like this menu can expand your computer skills a lot. Feel free to contact me for more tips and tricks or for feedback. Good luck!!

I had the problem with my Cambio W101v2. I tried everything and finally fixed it in the following way. I wiped the disk clean and then installed the latest version of 32 bit Win 10. Then I installed the Intel driver package for the Atom Z3700 series processors. I then had 5 unknown devices in Device Manager. I manually updated the drivers with the driver package from RCA. One by one, I got the touchscreen, rotation sensor, and camera drivers installed. the cameras still didn’t work but installing the Intel Graphics drivers fixed that. The device now is running Win 10 version 21H1 with no issues.
The problem was not actually caused by a Windows 10 update. It was caused by optional Intel drivers offered by Windows Update. Do not install optional driver packages from Update and you should be fine.

My Windows 10 RCA W101 V2 tablet with keyboard was working great until Microsoft updated the drivers then the sound, SD card, HDMI stopped working. I download the baytrail driver package and installed it and the above stared working again.

I had the same problem after installing optional driver updates from Windows update. The problem did not come from the actual Windows 10 update. Foe me, everything worked but the sound. No sound devices were found and no drivers could be made to work. Here’s how I fixed it.
I wiped the drive and installed the latest Windows 10. Then I installed the Intel driver package for the Atom Z3700 series CPU and chipset. I then had 5 unknown devices in Device Manager. One by one I manually updated the driver by pointing the updater to the folder containing the drivers that are available from RCA for the Bluetooth, wireless, touch screen, accelerometer, and cameras. The unknowns turned out to be the touchscreen, cameras, and accelerometer. After that, everything worked but the cameras, including the sound which was then fine. The last step was to install the Intel Graphics driver for bay trail and that fixed the camera problem.
I know have a fully functioning and fully updated tablet. No more optional drivers.
