Audio stopped working on my window 8 PC

The audio worked this morning, but it stopped working sometime this afternoon. I tried to restart and unplug my speakers but my Majicjack phone has no audio either.

I noticed that my PC was still under warranty, so I contacted Dell support. My problem has been resolved through the use of the package update dell audio driver Realtek ALC662VD Audio, 6.0.1.6662, A01.

    Hello

    • Have you tried the suggestions of Imran M in other post?

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    Temporarily disable UAC and check if the problem persists.

    1. open Control Panel.
    2. under the user account and family settings click on the "add user account / remove."
    3. click on one of the user accounts, for example, you can use the guest account.
    4. in the user account, click on the link "go to the main page of the user account.
    5. under "Make changes to your user account", click on the link "change security settings".
    6. in him "turn User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to deselect the "use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer. Click the Ok button.
    7. you will be asked to restart your computer. Do when you're ready.

    Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Method 2:
    I recommend the clean boot and try to run the program.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  • My device audio stop working after the installation of update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2286198)

    Hi, since Windows Update automatically installed this patch my audio device stop working. It does not appear in Device Manager. I've restored the system to a previous point and works now. I have disabled the automatic updates of Windows, but I really appreciate if Microsoft Support could check this because at some point, I will need to continue the update of Windows (because of several security mistakes!).

    Thank you!

    I restore my system to an earlier point and did not work! After several hours of searching for a solution in the web I realized that (fortunately!) I had a copy of the registration precedent and do a comparison, I noticed that some missing case book lines:

    In

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_02 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5051 & SUBSYS_103C30D6 & REV_1000\4 & 38993660 & 0 & 0002\

    The 'Control' key with a string value 'ActiveService "=' Modem' was absent.

    Also in

    I added a 'Control' button with a string value "ActiveService" is"ksthunk".

    Finally, I restart my system and Windows again recognizes my camera and the driver installed!

    Of course this solution depends on the machine you have. I have a HP Pavilion dv2000 with Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221.

  • Help, audio stop working in XW6600 with nVidia NVS 315 graphics card

    Greetings:

    I just buy a renovated, XW6600 Xeon dual processor, 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit system.  The PC comes with a nVidia NVS 290 graphics card.  Everything works fine and the speaker in the motherboard Jack produces sounds.  However, when I change the NVS 290 with a NVS 315 (it is a HP spare part), the sound stops working.  The speaker in the systray icon has a red circle with an "x" in it.  If I right click on the speaker, the playback device, it shows two TV as icon one above the other with a red arrow pointing down and a description on the righ side saying "Digital Audio (HDMI) high definition Audio Device not connected.   I have the same result in 64-bit Windows 8.1.  The problem is solved if I reinstall the NVS 290.  For both cards, I use the latest driver from nVidia.  Am I missing something?

    Any help to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

    Hello:

    When you install new video card, it must have a HDMI on it audio chip and what happens, is that the BIOS has disabled the integrated audio system thinking not only have you installed a video card, but you have installed a map audio too.

    Then, go into the BIOS, probably in the Advanced menu, the options menu, you will find onboard audio setting.

    It will be set to Disabled. Set to active, save the setting it by hitting the F10 key and again when you go out (save the settings and exit).

    When you restart, the integrated audio system should be back.
