No Audio Output device Installed

Recently, i installed a few updates on my Laptop including windows explorer 8 but they were not properly installed probably the computer was not properly rebooted after the updates, so it started showing the error message "No Audio output device is installed" and also did not shut down properly. My colleague suggested the following steps and it worked.
1. Go to cmd in startup and right click "run as administrator".
2. Now type "chkdsk c: /f". It showed the message unable to lock disk, can do on restart .
3. After rebooting it did a chkdsk for about 15-20 minutes and everything is working properly after that.

Why do I need it. https://api.libreoffice.org/examples/examples.html#Cpp_examples Installing the SDK The instructions for installing the SDK are given in https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/install.html.  1) If you have the Libreoffice source code, you can install sdk with  --enable-odk option in autogen.input file . Then make check, make, ./autogen.sh. (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/lode). Now the SDK path will be c:/cygwin/home/$user/lode/dev/core/instdir/sdk 2. If you don't have the source code or don''t want to go through the build process again, then sdk can be installed from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/. In this case the sdk will be installed in C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\sdk. You will have to follow the path  cygwin/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Libreoffice/sdk/examples from cygwin shell.  The steps listed below are for installing the LibreOffice SDK Configuring the SDK in Libreoff...

Booting

  UEFI: Universal Extensible firmware interface  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI UEFI does not depend on boot sectors unlike PC BIOS. It defines a boot manager as part of the UEFI specification.       The boot configuration is defined by variables stored in NVRAM including the variables that define file system paths to OS loaders and OS kernels.  ON power on, Based on it, the boot manager runs the specified boot loaders or kernel. The file path varies depending on the computer architecture.The file path to OS loader might be efi\boot\bootx64.efi.(edit) Booting UEFI systems from GPT partitioned disks is called UEFI-GPT booting. EFI system partition is normaly the first partition in the disk. It requires a size of around 100 MB. I t is accessed by UEFI firmware when the computer is powered on. It stores UEFI applications and OS boot loaders. it is formatted using a specific FAT file system for UEFI   .   UEFI shell and its usage https://ww...
Intel Core Multi core line of processors introduced around 2006. Replaced the Pentium line of processors. The line up of intel core processors includes low end-i3 (entry level consumer), mid end-i5 (mainstream consumer), high end-i7  and enthusiast-i9. Xeon refers to workstation and server brands. Instead, its better to differentiate generation by technical features. For example, intel core i7 of 12th, 13th and 14th generation differ in base speed, number of performance and efficiency cores,  cache size and micro-architecture technology.  This naming scheme was introduced in 2008 and does not correspond to specific technical features like  number of cores in a processor.  What is multi core processor? A multi core processor is a processor on a single Integrated circuit with two or more execution units called cores. So the processing tasks can be executed in parallel on the separate cores. It might involve data parallelism or task parallelism or hybrid involving ...
