Laptop Speakers plays no sound

[arthos4551]

Just got a brand new laptop (Acer Aspire E5-572G-72M5). Everything works fine and really impressed with the laptop except for one thing. After upgrading to Windows 10 the speakers play no sound. I have the ability to change the volume and such. But nothing plays. Instead a popping sound like a metronome can be heard until the source of the sound is turned off. Ive attempted to uninstall the drivers and reinstall realtek drivers (Which i think are the drivers) twice but have had no success. Acer support says they dont have drivers for windows 10 yet on their website. Any help? Anyone know the correct drivers and a link to them? Or are they broken?

Once again, Click on the speaker Icon at windows desktop.
Right click on it and select playback devices.
From the list select your speakers, right click on the listing and set as default playback device.
It should give you sound from the laptops built in speakers then.

I've already done this. im definitively no novice and that was the first thing i checked and did when i noticed this problem.

After much testing ive concluded the speakers are broken.
