Hello James Ponzi ,
It looks like your LG Gram laptop recognizes the audio device but isn’t producing sound. Here are a few steps to try:
- Update Audio Drivers
Go to Device Manager → Sound, video and game controllers.
Right-click your audio device (likely “Realtek” or “Intel SST”) → Update driver → Search automatically.
Alternatively, download the latest drivers directly from the LG Support site:

- Set Correct Playback Device
Right-click the speaker icon → Open Sound settings → Output → ensure your laptop speakers are selected.
- Run Windows Troubleshooter
Settings → System → Sound → Troubleshoot under “Output”.
- Check for Windows Updates
Some audio issues are resolved with cumulative updates.
- BIOS / Firmware Check
Ensure your BIOS is up to date via LG’s support downloads, as audio initialization can sometimes depend on firmware.
If none of these steps fix the problem, it may be a hardware issue since you mentioned no sound even during boot. Contact LG support for further diagnostics.
Hope this helps!
