    The audio comes surely from

    Microsoft-Windows-Desktop-Shared-Drivers-Package

    You need audioendpoint.inf (no real driver AKA something.sys) is required but you still need it installed in a proper way because the signatures.

    Now Microsoft-Windows-Desktop-Shared-Drivers-Package is the parent package of many other driver packages, likely you don't get it because something is missing from the ESD alone, but is present in the complete WinSXS folder.

    Just a guess but until we figure out which subpackage belongs to audioendpoint.inf, we won't get the audio

    Just tried to make the cabs of each driver related package, and looks like audioendpoint.inf isn't available in any subpackage other than Microsoft-Windows-Desktop-Shared-Drivers-Package

    Ok. just tested another installation.

    Definitely the audio comes up installing

    Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum

    instead of

    Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package0*~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum

    (no need to use a virgin installation you can install it on top of a working installation that lacks audio)

    Edit:

    I must be blind, but I just noticed that in fact there are some audio related mums inside the Winsxs directory while they are missing inside the ESDs. that's why my method gets the audio.

    Surely those packages are included in other ESDs while are not included in Xinso's list, time to download them all and check

    Who needs an ISO nowadays? Sony has just closed its last CDrom factory for a reason.

    I'm afraid I'm not getting what you want to say, likely language barrier

    I born with a brain and I use it to guess, sorry :D.

    If you have some pre-made answers just share them.

    Would be better to cooperate and keep improving the matter rather than get offended because someone improved your method, like a 3 years old children.

    What is the point when we already copy the lot from W10 Enterprise iso?

    Also, it errors out:

    Isn't the content of the downloaded .esd(s) IDENTICAL to content of the iso (SW_DVD9_Win_Server_STD_CORE_1709_64Bit_English_DC_STD_MLF_X21-49499.ISO) ?!?

    No, clearly no. That's the point of my discover. Everything else was, more or less, already known.

    Surely I didn't suggest a more complicated method just for fun.

    Maybe somebody can run full compare to see what it is that is different (I am sure it is not the lot)

    Any idea which .esd this comes from - Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package ?

    edit:
    Microsoft-Windows-EditionSpecific-Enterprise-Package.ESD

    I guess they are just some files that comes from updates, that for some reason don't get the updated manifests , certs or whatever.

    I'm sure the problem is not present just on this iso, in the past I faced the same problem trying to make the cabs from a working server 2016 or 2012, that blocked me to experiment more on Hypercore

    Yes, eddo2018's
    method works, thanks for finding it!

    Had to finish setup of Core and only then install the packages to get GUI. If I installed packages to vhdx with just applied image, then could not finish OOBE (it would error out, Something went wrong during user account creation)

    So as an exciting "Can do" project it certainly was fun. Is it of any use? No idea. How many things could not work or work wrong? Who knows.
