As I said earlier I believe that you have on onboard [http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_SPEC.aspx?DetailID=1289&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=24&LanID=9|VIA audio controller] scroll down to Audio
Here is a link to the [http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_DOWNLOAD.aspx?DetailID=1289&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=103&LanID=9|drivers] for the board
Select the OS (Win 8 either 32 or 64 bit) and then click on the Sound driver. (it looks greyed out but click on it).
Take notice about the BIOS update supposedly required for Win 8.
This link for drivers from [http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/ecs/laptops-desktops/h61h2-m12/8122|driverscape] sort of confirms that the audio is VIA HD

Hi @lloyddragneel ,
I'm wondering if this is because of the note in the Audio driver download area that states:
''To support Microsoft Windows 8 OS, corresponding BIOS and drivers update are required. Please link to http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/ECS_win8/win8_bios.html''
Perhaps you could try the drivers supplied by [http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/ecs/laptops-desktops/h61h2-m12/8122|driverscape] as they say that they are also for Win 10 64-bit.
Also I've noticed that Driverscape calls it a ''High Definition Audio Device'', the same name as you mentioned in one of your comments, that was one of the 2 audio controllers being shown. Normally with controllers they mention the makers name in Device Manager so it is very coincidental that they have the same "nondescript title"
+
Also just curious as to what version of Win 10 you installed?
+
Was it the same version as you had before or the latest version 1709 Fall creators Update?
+
I had to roll back a computer to 1706 because 1709 caused problems with my mobile wireless dongle - it didn't support it!
