accidentally disabled computer speakers.
I did it by right click on the small speaker in the bottom right of my screen, choose playback devices. Then I pointed out the first choice from a list of three, which was my built in speakers. Then, I clicked on disable and it disappeared completely from the list. How to retrieve and activate?
Exercise the functions mentioned below to set the speaker as default:
1. Click Start and click on Control Panel.
2. click on sound, then a new window will open.
3. in the new window click on the "Playback" tab and right-click in the window and click on Show disabled devices.
4. now check if the President is in the list and right-click on it and choose activate.
5. highlight the speaker and click "set as default".

Pavilion 500-056: accidentally disabled my speakers! sound/no
So here's the scoop. My computer (HP Pavilion 500-056) had been broken for a year now, and I finally fixed and reinstalled windows 10. Everything worked well and I was very happy until I realized that I had no sound coming out of my speakers. Through my process of DIY autour, check the cables and the entry and other output sockets, there seemed to be no problem. I went in the sound mixer, and there, I accidentally disabled my speakers, so they don't pop up on the list more! I have no idea how to turn them on now, and I still have no idea how fix my sound. If someone could help pronto, I would be very happy! Thank you!
Hello
If they were just disabled, you can re-enable the as follows.
Do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "playback devices".
In the next window, right-click on an empty area and enter a checkmark against "Show disabled devices".
If your speakers are now listed, right-click them, then select activate.
Kind regards

Hey O Rio,
Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com
One thing you can try to start Orb / Control Panel / Sound / the reading tab right click on an empty spot on the window and select Show all disabled devices. This should show this audio device listed again. You should be able to right-click on it from there, then select Enable.
Let us know if it gets you to the top and run again.

accidentally disabled enhanced usb controller now can not log on to windows
I accidentally disabled thr enhanced usb host controller.now no usb ports don't work so I can't open the computor to reactivate the controller
Hello
Start the computer in safe mode and start the desktop.
Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)
Then perform the following steps:
A: right click on my computer, and then select Properties.
B: then go to Manager of devices and then, on the Action menu, click scan for hardware changes
Hope that helps.

HP K5H28AA #ABL: accidentally disable all usb port
Looking to change the settings in my BIOS I accidentally disable all USB ports. Now I can't use the keyboard and mouse. I want to know if there is a way to reset to the factory settings, the computer from the motherboard
Hello
Before you try this, unplug the devices all attached, turn off the PC and remove the power plug.
There should be a jumper on the Board that you can use to remove the settings current CMOS, located just above the cmos battery - move the jumper to the clear position for 30 seconds and then bring him back - see the image at the link below.

HP Touchsmart: Touch screen accidentally disabled decide and PC not install mouse
My HP Touchsmart was installing all new devices, the slice would always fail. Try to fix it I went to the Device Manager and accidentally disabled the touch screen device. Now I can't click the screen anyway, so I was wondering if there is that a way to factory reset the computer without a connection inside or by clicking on the screen or to activate the touch screen (once again without being able to click on the screen). If you would like more information for a solution please ask. So basically no mouse, touchscreen disabled and can not use my computer! Thank you.
Yes, you can reset the computer without going through Windows, but I advise to use a mouse to touch before you do. Also try to start in sate mode and allowing the touch function.
See suite for the reset:

The built-in Administrator account system is supposed to be disabled. If you have administrator rights, create your own account under another name (not "Administrator") and give him those rights.
The built-in Administrator account system is automatically activated when you start in safe mode. So follow these steps:
- Press the Windows key + i to display the settings.
- Click the Power Options icon., then hold down the SHIFT key while you click the restart option. Give him a few moments.
- On the first screen, select Troubleshooting. then click on Advanced Options.
- On the next screen, select Start Settings , and then click the restart button.
- On the next screen, press the number 4 key. The computer starts in Safe Mode.
- Click on the arrow icon, and then select the administrator account.
- After the Safe Mode boot, open Control Panel / user accounts.
- Select Manage another account , and then select the account you want to switch to an administrator account. Select change the account Type. Select administrator , and click the button change the account type .
- Exit control panel and restart the computer.
- Log on with the account that you changed to an administrator account.

Play music from Sansa Fuze my computer speakers?
Can I listen to music on my Sansa Fuze MP3 player in my computer speakers?
If I can, how can I connect the "rocket" on my computer or on my speakers?
Connect the "rocket" to your computer with the USB cable. Looking for the "rocket" as a disc or two discs (one for unity, for card) in Windows Explorer (computer or workstation). Discover music. Assuming that you have a drive in your computer - such as Windows Media Player or Winamp or iTunes - you should be able to click on a file and read it.

I have a desktop monitor and an Alienware Alpha I bought recently, which of course is not a speaker. I use a HDMI cable to get the video of the Alpha on the screen, but when I plug the HDMI on my monitor I can not any audio to the fate of the computer speakers. In the Alpha settings, when I try to switch the audio in HDMI mode, it is said that the HDMI is not connected or incorrectly connected. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
I'm not quite familiar with the Alpha console, so I can only suggest to visit their support page where you can chat with an expert.
I hope that you can solve your problem.
