I purchased this $6.99 USB external audio adapter from the thread you suggested @Loner T. (Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows and Mac. Plug and play No drivers Needed. (AU-MMSA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IRVQ0F8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.QzrBb8FAWPKM)


Four days in and I have had working sound and great sound quality in Windows 10. My biggest regret is that I didn’t find this sooner after putting hours into troubleshooting. Like another poster said, I suspect some iMac Pro firmware has been updated but the associated drivers have not. It’s annoying that an external device is needed to fix the issue, but I hope this adapter works for the others posting in this thread as well.

I'm also having this same issue, and it all started after installing the second update to the macOS Mojave beta. I know that sounds crazy, but sound in Windows 10 worked just fine on High Sierra, and even the initial install of Mojave. Specifically, the second update for Mojave is what was done right before sound stopped working in Windows 10.


I've gone through a whole gamut of troubleshooting steps, including a full factory reinstall of both macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (through Internet Recovery mode) and a fresh install of Windows 10 through the Bootcamp Utility. Interestingly enough - I'm not sure at what point - but Bootcamp Utility has also decided to stop working. I think it happened after the 10.13.6 update, as I recall it working fine on 10.13.5, but now Bootcamp will always throw an error about saving the support software.


I'm able to work around the Bootcamp issue by partitioning myself and installing Windows 10 via USB (note: it will fail to detect the SSD drive, you must load the AppleSSD driver included with the Windows Support software) but there's still no sound in Windows 10. As far as I can tell, everything else works, just no sound.


My current theory is that Mojave must have updated the firmware of something somewhere. Perhaps the T2 chip? From I understand, it also handle audio processing among other things. A firmware update would explain why the issue persists even after removing the macOS Mojave beta.


I think this is going to be something that'll have to be fixed in a future macOS update. I don't know how exactly macOS affects Windows, but clearly there is some sort of relationship present.
