I have no sound after installing Windows update security.

Help, please! I don't have a solid any after that auto update installed some update Windows security. Not even system sounds work. I tried to use headphones too. I checked Device Manager and my Creative Vibra 128 sound card is enabled and working. I updated the driver for the card and the sound seemed to be coming back, but after the reboot, no sound again. My speakers have been tested separately on a different system and they worked very well. But I still have no sound coming out of my PC.

It would be possible that the reason that your registry database seems to zero after the reboot is your antiviral is preventing to be changed when you update your drivers.  but this is only an idea unproven, but a possibility.

in all cases, try to do a restore point for today / now.  This will take a snapshot of the current state of the system.

Then, see if you can restore your computer state before the update that would have saved the drivers work and functional setup for your speaker system.

my suggestion is to run a system via safe mode restore it if the anti viral theory is true, that it will not impede the process of restoring system in safe mode.

Please please help

    It is not possible for me to every time the format of the system

    kindly, please give solution.

    My system is connected to the network with 3 PCs and all are licensed copy.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

    From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

    Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Back up the registry
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. click continue.

    c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

    e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

    Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

    f. close the registry editor.

    g. restart the computer.

    Method 2:

    Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

    Has anyone else been having sound problems with the new batch of updates? I tried to download the drivers, but that didn't work and now I had to restore my system from the 18th daily. Any ideas on how to identify the update is the cause or what driver I may have missed? My computer is a Dell Latitude E5420, running 64-bit Windows 7 Prof. Any other information needed let me know. Thank you!

    Hello

    According to the description, I understand that you are facing the problem in your computer after Windows installation updated May 18, 2016.

    Yes, you can view the installed update so that you can identify the updates that are installed in May 18, 2016.

    Please follow the steps to see updates history in Windows 7:

    1. Click the Start button.

    2. Then select Control Panel > programs.

    3. And then, under programs and features.

    4. Select view installed updates.

    View update installed please check that the update installed in May 18, 2016 and uninstall the update one & check if the sound is working well and find the culprit, update.

    Please follow the methods described below to check if it helps:

    Method 1: perform a Clean boot and install Windows Update.

    If its a major update, I recommend you put the computer in a clean boot state and install it again in order to minimize interference that could cause this noise problem.

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: uninstall and reinstall the Sound Driver.

    1. Press Windows + X key.
    2. Type devmgmt.msc (to open Device Manager)
    3. Find and select the audio driver.
    4. Right click on the driver.
    5. Uninstall the audio driver.

    Windows automatically installs the generic driver, otherwise I recommend you download & install audio driver on the website of the manufacturer to check if it helps.

    Hope this information is useful, if the problem persists please write us back with the quick information so that we can help you further.

  • No sound after installing Windows 7

    I have a m7060n of four years, HP Media Center with 3 GB of memory.  The only sound work on my system is the headset before green.  I have a Logitech 5.1 speaker system that worked well until the installation.  There are two yellow triangles related video and audio in the list of equipment:

    Conexant 23880 Video Capture (input to two Blackbird NTSC)

    Conexant 2388 x MPEG Encoder (double entry)

    The High Definition Audio Controller and high definition Audio Device both seem to work fine.

    I installed all the drivers that I can find that might help.

    Logitech said that my speaker model is compatible with Win 7.

    HP does not even list Windows 7 as an OS when I look... only XP and Vista updates.  Updates for Vista have nothing to do with the sound.

    Windows Update has given me several new drivers, including those for two devices of Conexant.

    So far, nothing has worked.  I use a workaround solution by plugging the green plug from the speakers to the front Jack, but gives me only 2.0 sound not 5.1.

    Someone at - it any other suggestions?

    Thank you

    Christie

    Hi Christieamber,

    Try to install the driver provided by Realtek (the original creators of your audio device): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

    Just select the link High Definition Audio Codecs, accept the agreement and then select the version of Win 7 in the resulting page.

    Since you are quite sure this is an update to the source of the problem I want to troubleshoot using this method.

    Control Panel - Windows Updates - upper left settings - set to download but allow you to install them.
    To operate the system and see if there are problems.

    If no problem try to apply updates in small groups or even one at a time, depending on how
    There are many. Beware especially of driver updates that may be older that you have or
    those even incorrect.
