Audio driver problem, I get error "no audio output device is installed".

My laptop made a weird noise, after that my laptop suddenly is not all sounds more. When I check the audio it says "no audio output device is installed". I been looking for this difficulty in the last days and found no problems. I tried to reinstall my audio driver (Realtek), but then an error occurred. It says 'extended attributes are incompatible. Help, please!

Farel salvation,

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you no longer have sound in Windows 8 and you also tried to re - install the audio driver. I appreciate the efforts made in the patches that you have already tried. Let me ask you;

  • What is the brand and model of the computer?

There could be several reasons for this cause and diagnose the problem, we will try the following methods and check.

Method 1: Run the audio Troubleshooter

A convenience store is an automated tool that can find and automatically fix problems with your PC. Audio troubleshooting can diagnose and troubleshoot equipment and playback of sounds common.

Method 2: Look for important and recommended updates by using Windows Update

  1. Drag from the right edge of the screen, tap settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
    (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen, move the mouse to the top, click settingsand then click change PC settings).
  2. Press or click update and recoveryand press or click on Windows Update.

  3. Press or click check now.

  4. If there are updates available, press or click on the link and then press or click on install.

    Windows Update will tell you if the updates have been installed correctly.

To check the optional updates by using Windows Update:

  1. Drag from the right edge of the screen, tap settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
    (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen, move the mouse to the top, click settingsand then click change PC settings).

  2. Press or click update and recovery , and then press or click on Windows Update.

  3. Press or click see detailsand press or click find updates. (If you can't see the details, it are not updated optional available.)

  4. Under option, tap or click the update you want to install, and then click install.

    Read and accept the terms of the license and then press or click on Finish if the update requires it. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.

Method 3: Install the software from the manufacturer of the device. If your device is equipped with a disk, this disk can contain software that installs a driver for the device.

Method 4:

1 right-click the volume in the taskbar icon, and select sounds
2. scroll down about 3/4 on the events program: the list and select the option that says Windows user account control
3. change the sounds: option ( no), and then click OK

Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • M17x-R4 "no audio output device is installed" error

    Over the past 2 weeks I had more problems with my laptop Alienware M17x-R4. First, the screen is dead. The wireless card is dead then. And now there is no sound and when I hover over the sound icon in the taskbar, what I see is: "no audio output device is installed". I had a technician Dell out for repairs 3 times. Motherboard has been replaced twice. He disassembled the entire laptop and reassembled it. And the sound still doesn't work. The BIOS has been updated several times, drivers reinstalled several times. Everything has been checked by myself, Dell telephone and online technical support and the technician that came out 3 times. Someone else has a solution to this problem? the technician recommends whether a replacement computer that he cannot fix. Not impressed to say the least.

    I had to fix mine twice so far. Everything that do you is download the latest bios, even if you already have it and run it. I believe it is called flashing your bios/cmos.

  • WANTED m6 that no audio output device is installed

    Hi, I was looking at a CD on my m6 DESIRE last night and it worked fine.  Today, I have the speaker with a red icon in the lower right corner of the screen and when hovering over it says "no audio output device is installed".  I tried to uninstall the device driver, but that didn't fix it there.

    The driver for device "IDT High Definition Audio Codec" under sound, video and game in Device Manager controllers also has a yellow exclamation point.  When I uninstall and reboot, sometimes just with the yellow mark again.  If I try to upgrade the driver, I get an error message "Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it."  A device attached to the system does not work.

  • No Audio output device is installed - but it is solid

    Hi all

    I'm using a Thinkpad T420 Windows 7 x 64. Since yesterday, I recognized the symbol small speaker in the tray has a red x and says no Audio output device is installed. It's embarrassing, because the laptop and all speakers I connected on the work of the Audio Port. Whenever I click on the symbol, it will accompany the troubleshooting but can not find any error. The problem is, that normally I adjust the sound through this symbol, but this adjustment bar will appear only the resolution of the problems.

    I tried to reinstall the device, without change. I tried to install the latest driver for Lenovo, but Windows did not subsequently and went back to the previous driver version. I stop and start the Windows Audio Service, no change... ideas?

    Hi Tobias,.

    Thanks for posting back. I appreciate your response and efforts.

    The error occurs because windows updates.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to perform automatic troubleshooting on the Microsoft Web site.

    Please find trouble automatic in the paragraph and click on it and it will prompt you to save or run.

    Click Run and troubleshooting can resolve the error.

    Method 2:

    Download drivers Conexant Audio 20672 Smart HD Audio from the manufacturer's Web site.

    Visit the following link to download:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds014918

     

    Method 3:

    I also suggest you to reinstall the audio drivers.

    You must be logged in as an administrator to perform these steps.

    Enter in the right edge of the screen and then click on search.

    (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen, move the mouse to the top and then click Find.)

    Enter the Device Manager in the start search box and press or click on Device Manager.

    In the list of the categories of material, double click or double-click the category of in that your device is located and then double click or double-click the device you want. For example, to view your video card, press or click on graphics cards and then double click or double-click the name of the video card.

    Press or click on the driver tab, press or click on put updated driver and then follow the instructions. Administrator permission required (you may be prompted for an administrator password or confirm your choice).

    Hope that works!

    To get help, after return. We will be happy to help you.

  • Satellite T130 - 11 H - NO Audio output device is installed

    I brought this new * Toshiba T130 - 11 H Satellite * (Windows7 / x 64) last week and at first, it was fine...

    Although I now have the speaker icon formidable with a RED CROSS in the lower right of the screen!
    It's become such a pain now - ive never had a problem with the sound with one of the laptops ive had.
    The message error is always 'no Audio output device is installed."

    I have tried everything - system restore, reinstall everything, download different drivers... Pray!
    When going to the Control Panel/Device Manager / sound, video and game controllers - I do not see the:

    Intel(r) High Definition Audio HDMI

    I remember when I got it I got an another "HD Audio Device" in this category - it is the one which has totally gone now and is quite important what I do:

    Please PLEASE please can someone help!
    Is it a hardware failure?
    Is there something I need to download?
    Is there something special I need to

    Will be grateful for any comments. Thank you so so so much to read :)

    Hello

    Go to the Device Manager and in order to choose the hidden devices.
    Now you should see all the devices that are available on this system.

    Now go to the sound, video and game controllers and remove the Intel(r) High Definition Audio HDMI, audio Conexant high definition Smart, etc.

    In system devices, remove the Microsoft UAA Bus driver for high definition.

    Now, restart the laptop.

    After the new operating system reboot Windows should recognize all devices again.
    Check this box!

    If this does not download the Conexant audio driver and reinstall

  • "No Audio output device is installed" on Portege M600

    Hi all

    I had this problem. Today in the afternoon, I was working with my M600 while listening to music. Suddenly, there's like a voice of vibrations... as "zzzz" voice. I was surprissed and decided to cut my music player (I use winamp) and continued complete my work. But, whenever I did by clicking on, this noise appeared with 'click' sound. So, I decided to turn off the PC.

    But now, I surprised because when I turn on my PC, there is "No Audio output device is installed" msg with the sign of the Red Cross on my speakers. I do not anything for the sound before. I have not installed anything. I have day my anti-virus, but that's all.
    This is not the first time happened. I had - a little - this problems twice but it was because I had windows update and I solved it by restoring the system.

    I did system restore, but it still won't work. I really need a help, since sound is so important to me!

    Have idea what had happened and how to handle this?

    Thank you in advance.

    Have you tried to install a new sound card driver?
    You can find this driver on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Of course, it could also be a hardware problem with your motherboard and/or the sound chip but try first to update the driver.

    The sounds you describe could also be a HARD drive problem.
    Look in the event viewer for errors.

  • No Audio output device is installed... need more suggestions I already tried the solutions proposed by the Help menu.

    I get the message "no Audio output device is installed" with the little thing red x in the lower right corner of my computer screen. I looked up problems and common solutions.
    I uninstalled the device drivers in the menu equipment and also in the menu programs and features, after this, I restarted my computer before reinstalling.
    I did it too, but instead of reainstalling manually, I plugged my audio in a different speaker and let the computer to reinstall the driver by itself.
    I restarted the computer, the system restored the computer, put it to sleep, awake it save, close and let rest before restarting it.
    I checked the BIOS menu and changed the sound is activated instead of auto and tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers with this option, but the small x is still there.
    When I go into my control panel Device Manager and open the sound video and game controllers, I see my Realtek High definition audio. I open it to properties and it says it's working properly... then why my sound is not working? I've also updated the drivers and downloaded specifically on the realtek site, but no difference was filed.

    The sound is working again. I went camping for 2 days and came back, and it worked. It did NOT work once again before I left, he was dead. It sounds terrible, it of quiet and fades quieter and the but it works.

    None of the suggestions given here did something to help my problem. The proposed update does not work on my computer, I couldn't even download. I'll probably install a new sound card, but I would have liked your comments on this suggestion since I asked if this might be the problem several times. I'm annoyed that there was no way real and say what my problem is that after I answered engineers none of them responded to additional feedback I had given.

    Although Device Manager displays "Intel(r) Audio display" under "audio, video and game controllers".

    It's probably the HDMI audio driver.

    LukeRodgers90
    I just went and did a reset.

    You hear you returned the laptop to original factory using Dell Factory Image Restore or other means Setup (what exactly?)? If using Factory Image Restore didn't fix the problem and you have tested the audio immediately before going online and perform updates, you have a hardware failure. Factory Image Restore is the gold standard to determine whether a problem is the result of a hardware or software failure.

  • "No Audio output device is installed" after installing Windows 7

    • I installed my windows 7 64-bit today (previously used 7 ultimate, which is the first operating system, I used on this computer because it is fairly new) and after installing some things, trying to get internet work etc. I know that my sound is not working. There is a small speaker symbol with a small red circle with a white cross on it that says "no Audio output device is installed." When I go over it. Troubleshooting comes up with nothing. I tried searching forums but the suggestions I've found is came up with nothing. I tried to go into Device Manager, re-installing drivers there and display hidden devices. I have also shown disabled/disconnected devices in the menu "playback devices". I use headphones instead of speakers (because I do not have all the speakers) and while I got ultimate they worked only when it is connected to the rear. My friend computer, which helped me to set up my computer says that it was a problem with the ultimate place of my computer, do not know if this is related but thought better include it anyway. Your help is much appreciated, thank you in advance.

    I have no sound Windows 7 either. I just upgraded from XP Home to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Virgin Media freedom Netbook. Everything except playing the sounds works perfectly.

    I checked in the Device Manager. An audio device high definition is installed. There is a recording device installed also. However, no midi playback is available.

    I tried an update and uninstalled and reinstalled automatically. No joy.

    I understand that Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth V1.1.  is a software-only device for playback. It is not a hardware driver. I know that it is present on the netbook because Tuneup 2010 detected it as peripheral to read. However Windows 7 has not detected. Is there a Windows 7 compatible driver for this? If not, is a coming soon?

    PS I've restored temporarily XP from an Acronis backup image. Sound worked perfectly as before, so I know there is no hardware problems

    You will need to keep the control working drivers for the audio device. Win 7 will not play sounds without a.
