Audio drivers not working? -Bootcamp

I recently installed Bootcamp using the USB windows provides when buying windows 10, but when I tried to install windows some, Mac functions didn't work. For example my WI-FI and my keyboard functions. So I had to get the boot camp support software for my MacBook Pro. So I go back to Mac OS X and install the support software using Bootcamp. After installing the Setup.exe on my USB I go back to windows and use it. after its done everything works perfectly except for my sound. I hover my mouse on top of the sound icon it says no audio output device is installed.

So I go check the drivers and I found an audio driver called cirrus logic. So the sound drivers are installed But they don't work? I own MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)

Sorry for the bad English. English is not my first language.

Mac Pro, Windows 10

UEFI on a 2012 does not work correctly for Audio. The Windows installation should be BIOS. Did you manually select EFI Boot during installation?

No. You are not installing BC/Windows on the USB. It is used as the installer created by BC Assistant using the Create and Download options. You will still install Windows in the internal disk, but you will need to remove the current installation using BC Assistant.

Do not use Disk Utility to create the partition manually. Use the BC Asistant's Install option to partition your disk.

Were you using a USB Installer? If yes, were you using a USB2 Flash drive.

To install Windows in BIOS mode, would require removing the current installation and re-installing using a USB2 Flash drive and/or a DVD.

In Windows, run msinfo32 and post the value of BIOS Mode.

What type of a USB disk are you using to install Windows? Is it a USB3? On the macOS side, connect the USB, and check System Report -> USB and check the speed?

Do you have access to USB2 flash drives made by Sony or SanDisk? They need to be 8_ GB or larger.

The way i got windows was giving it a partition from the disk driver, then i held option wile rebooting and chose the USB which was named EFI boot. The reason installed windows that way, is because every time i used bootcamp, At the end it gave me a black screen with insert system disk then press any key to retry, on top. Is there a way i could fix the problem.
