Audio device which is marked by default isn't the one that actually works!

In the dialog box Windows 7 called 'Sound', there are 4 tabs: reading > recording > sounds > Communications.

If I go to 'Record', I see a list of devices - mainly the microphones where that I want to use (high definition USB microphone) is marked as the default value.

Problem is that when I entered the device, nothing is heard or recorded. I think it's the device listed depending on who is really active (since the indicators of level in the dialog box).

If I delete the 'next listed device' (Webcam C210) nothing works.

How can I get the device that I want to be the default working?

Dialogue kick:

Thank you.

  • Instructions to remove the search engine do not work, the "delete" button remains grayed out check marks independently. Is there another way that actually works?

    The Firefox Support instructions below do not work in version 36. The button 'delete' is never gray State asset once the unwanted/s search engine are checked for removal. I tried one at a time and in groups, it does everything just as they suggest below.

    Delete a search engine

    You can remove search engines, that you don't need by performing the following steps on the search bar in the toolbar or on the page tab.

       Click the search engine icon and select Manage Search Engines... to open the search engines manager.
       To remove a search engine, select it from the list, and click Remove.
    

    If you accidentally delete a default search engine, click on restore default values to recover the default search engines.

       If you accidentally delete a search engine that you installed, you must re-install it.
    

    I found the solution, the surprisingly simple. Thanks to everyone for trying, but against all the recommendations after a new analysis of malware, virus and upgrade to the latest version released on March 5, 2015... Here is the fix:

    Left click on the dropdown search button, then left click on the "change search settings." Ignore completely the checkboxes as suggested by Mozilla. The text of the search engine you want to delete to highlight in blue in the Middle, click on the grey Out button below should become active. The only function of the boxes by the search engine will make them visible or not when using the search box in Firefox. The solutions proposed by others seems logical, but I learned more than 4 decades as a technician in computer science, opt for the simple solution first. Thank you all for your suggestions, this fix works for versions 36 and 36.0.01on Windows 7. I guess it should work for other OS also.

    Hello people. I had a lot of trouble with my audio recent and the most recent problem is that my audio is not working properly and when I walked into the audio settings to test the volume controls that were set at the max I sometimes hear a low ding through my headphones. When I try to hear the ding once, I get nothing = / I looked in audio updates, but none of them seem not at this address. the strange thing that I can't understand, is that the audio settings to say that everything works. When I tried to troubleshoot I got this message "audio device is not set as default ' I looked in the settings again and can't saw no trouble.

I found myself for the 100' e times at least on the tab enchancments and just clicking on things I ticked 'disable all enhancments' even if it us no equity and applied, and boom, problem solved for now at least.

  • What to do if "audio device is not set as default" and I can not burn CD?

    Hello whistles!

    Love of goodness, my CD drive was not capable of writing to CD or to play, since the day that I bought my computer (5 years ago)!  The last time I tried to install a program from a CD, which works well.  I tried to troubleshoot and repair several times, without success, including downloading the new drivers.  MS FixIt Center was no help either (no surprise).

    And frankly, because I have more than one, I do not yet know what program to try to use it to record CDs, once the problem is resolved! I have Windows Media Player, Sonic Digital Media, Windows Digital Media Enhancer, Media Center (which I hate!), AShampoo Burning Studio (which I downloaded at any given time) and OverDrive Media Console!

    I have a HP Pavilion dual core 64-bit processor, run Win XP Media Center version 2002, Service Pack 3, Office 2007 Pro.

    Any assistance would be MUCH appreciated!  And if you need more information. in order to make sound suggestions, please let me know before you answer (often when I ask for help here, I receive replies that are not applicable to my problem).

  • We get an error "no audio device is installed" as he tried to use the cable from the monitor to TV

    * Original title: vista home version lost his

    Recently bought an Emerson TV that is has a PC plug. Hooked to the TV for the monitor cable and bought a mini audio cable with one end plugs into the speaker jack the rear of the computer and the other end of this cable is divided into a red RCA plug and a white RCA connector to the audio on the TV.

    Played a movie and it displays fine but I have no sound. So everything disconnected and hooked my computer following up and my external computer speakers back up exactly as it was before still have no sound.

    in the toolbar at the bottom right hand of the screen, the "speaker" icon displays red X and when I move my mouse jumper on it the message appears "no audio device is installed".

    Help!

    Hello

    You can first check in BIOS advanced settings if the onboard sound is enabled.

    You can see the manual of the system manufacturer or contact the system manufacturer for more information on how to make the changes in the BIOS.

    Note: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Please follow the steps below and we update with the results.

    Method 1: Follow the steps in the following article and check.

    It think you want it resize itself as much unless you set the width of the text and its parent containers there width wise that leads to no packaging. Setting the width but no height allows the text resizes vertically creating return to the line.

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    I can't now to reproduce the problem. It seems to have disappeared on its own. She gave me a small strip in the upper part of the window below the menu bar of Firefox. I think the banner said "Firefox has blocked a website tries to download a file on your computer" and there is a button on the right marked "allow." I thought that there was a framework for that somewhere and the other to block redirects and now I can't find neither. I got v.9.0 and he auto-mis to day to 10.
