The Windows 20H2 update has accompanied by user's frustration. One issue issue that has effected my company is the update's incompatibility issues with certain versions of audio drivers on the Lenovo X1 laptop. Systems Administrator's are checking forum and Googling fixes but finding nothing. No worries, I came up with a fix I'd like to share with anyone facing this issue.
Open the "Device Manager" with admin permissions.
Select "View" tab and then select "Devices by Connection". Select "IntelSmart Sound Technology (IntelSST) Audio Controller".
Uninstall "IntelSmart Sound Technology (IntelSST) Audio Controller" & it's associated drivers. Then Scan for new hardware changes. This will remove the in-operational driver installed by Windows update and force the installation of the correct driver. You now have sound again.
