  My computer lost it's sound twice today because he has "no audio output device is installed". The first time, it fixed it's self after that I tried a few things and now that I tried those things again and waited a lot longer so I did the first time there is still no sound, please help (P.s. I'm using windows 7 and it's a laptop)

• No Audio output device is installed, no sound in Device Mangager Toshiba Satellite Vista

  I have the dreaded red X on the Volume control, "no Audio output device is installed", no. Sound Devices in device Mangager / Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7901 running Vista-32. FixIt seem to fixit, or find.

  The solutions that I have seen and tried on the Web just walk me through the first steps of the three solution and then drop out of cyberspace. I heard sound on this machine before, briefly, and then she returned to the non-cooperative State. I saw a few techno-jibberish once on the drivers are properly installed, to ensure that they are saved and enter into the registry and remove, from repair, screw up as much as you can before throwing the PC to the wall because you don't know what they speak and are to afraid to taste the risky proceedures, restore cannot help , or something.

  What happened, what is the solution of 4th or 5th person has told and Toshiba wants hundreds of dollars to diagnose, and then just says that the computer must be replaced if they are too lazy or too ignorant to investigate and solve problems or reveal the real solutions. Reinstall the correct drivers does not work, there is no folder Sound and the game in Device Manager controller. I'm tenatious.

  I also have a USB Port that Windows doesn't recognize after him malfuncitoned, why? FixIt can't find it, can't fixit. I suspect someone stuck the wrong connector on the USB port and fried something - can't rip out and replace it? I came back home, limited, vision limited, duration of limited attention, limited by the reckless lack of "Technicians" to help. I guess you are supposed to be able to pay and pay and pay for computer assistance, or die with your computer.

  I just want this computer works correctly, as long as it costs, so I can go on the problem in my life.

  Torchured!

  Hello

  Did you download the drivers directly from Toshiba for your model particulare?

  Here is a link to that.

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  And there are the Toshiba Forums you can ask

  http://forums.Toshiba.com/

  Or you can backup your data and reinstall the operating system

  You don't say if you have a Vista DVD that accompanies it.

  Otherwise, you have a recovery Partition to reinstall Vista from

  "How restore your laptop Toshiba to its state of charge software factory using system recovery"

  https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true

  If reinstallation does not she, you have a hardware problem with the audio device, which we cannot help you.

  "stuck the wrong connector on the USB port and fried something - can't I just rip it out and replace it?

  No, you can't rip out and replace

• No sound: no audio output device is installed. no choice of audio device in Device Manager.

  I started my pc windows 7 today like any other day, and he has not played the music to start. Then I looked at the volume icon in the corner and there was a big red X on the speaker symbol. I go over it and it displays the message "no audio output device is installed". I was confused, so I went to check the Device Manager and there is no sound Devices(or whatever it is called) tab. I then restarted my computer 3 times and still have no sound. I would try a system restore, but I can't choose restore points after the first start I did this morning. My sound card is a card for the Asus M2N - SLI. Any Suggestions?

  Hi j03d03190,

  • Do you see unknown devices in Device Manager?

  Step 1

  It seems that the Audio drivers are deleted or removed from the computer. I tried to check for audio drivers for your card mother M2N SLI and could not find drivers Audio in Windows 7. However, I suggest to download the Audio from Vista drivers from the Asus site and install it and check if that helps you solve the sound problem. Access the link below and download the Audio drivers for Windows Vista and install it.

  http://support.ASUS.com/download/download.aspx

  Step 2

  You can also run Windows update on your computer and check updates and install and check it it helps you to install the audio drivers and to solve the sound problem. Access the link below and follow the steps to install Windows updates.

• No Audio output device is installed and no "Sounds" not listed in Device Manager.

  I turned on the computer yesterday and immediately noticed the Red "x" of white/circle on the "speaker" icon. Roll the cursor over the icon gives me the message "no Audio output device installed. I have already read through the forums and tried some of the suggestions offered without result. Here's a quick deterioration of the situation. I am running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium service pack 2 on a Dell Dimension DM061 (32 bit). No updates have been downloaded and the system was not put into hibernation. I tried restoring the system without result. The Device Manager shows not yet "Sound, video and game controllers" to watch the drivers or disable them. He has not disabled or disconnected devices to display. To the best of my knowledge the soundcard is part of the motherboard with this system, so I've no idea what driver I could find. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  I was hoping that the main issue was in the BIOS but it is also why I posted links to Dell
  Support and their forums because he may be known issues with your model.

  Check this click - Device Manager - anywhere in the area in white/white - and then VIEW - chech to see the
  Hidden - devices you can locate the audio device it?

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

  If necessary:

  Try an InPlace upgrade or repair Installation to see if your audio device can be reset.
  If so it would probably be a good idea to update or re - install the latest drivers.

  You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
  Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
  machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a good
  backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

  ==============================

  If those don't help you probably need a real computer store (leeks and pics
  at a Best Buy or other department stores) or Support of Dell.

  ---------------

  Another possibility if there is a problem with the hardware with the audio device:

  Car sound can be turned off in the BIOS and card USB sound a speedboat can be used
  that is not expensive.

  Use your favorite search engine search - sound card USB or USB its adapter.

  I hope this helps.

• I have a problem with the computer all of a sudden noises.

  Original title: loud for no reason at all...

  My computer has suddenly started to wake me up in the middle of the night.  It sounds like a fan that comes on suddenly.  Then it stops.  Does this mean that someone has hacked my computer?  I ran the antivirus scans, but nothing appears and my windows firewall is on... help...

  Any advice would be most appreciated...

  Thank you

• "No audio output device is installed" no sound, video controller and game on the Device Manager section,.

  my laptop has no sound, it says no audio installed and the speaker symbol has a red cross on it. I tired all help but nothings worked, and the thing to fix auto could not fix. The Device Manager there is not even a sound, video, game controller section. Sometimes when I put into hibernation and back on I have sound and everything works fine (except when I run itunes and it stops again), but I say that I have no audio device again to restart the laptop. I have the vista updates this. All ideas

  Thank you

  I had the same problem with my Compaq F700 series laptop. His was a work day and does not not the other. I couldn't use most of the patches because they need to have the tab of sound, video, game available and also lacked this tab.

  I tried to do system restore and rolling it back, but the problem has not been resolved. What finally worked was restoring the system to a MUCH earlier date, as one month before the problem. When finished restoring the sound was still not fixed. HOWEVER, the computer OS (WINDOWS 7) necessary to re - install a bunch of updates and after the updates have been installed, everything worked. I suspect that the original problem was a bad update (I.e. has not installed correctly) and one to ride the system goes back to a time before the bad update and then re-installing the update was the fix.
  That said, if the restore option does not or cannot be I would try searching through the Add/Remove programs in the control panel to uninstall the updates of the system, and then restart the computer and let updated them, re - install.
  Good luck

• I have no sound on my computer and a message stating: "no audio output device is installed" what shout I do to solve this problem?

  I asked the same question yesterday and your answer have no sense to ask whether the sound is embedded or on a sound card. I don't know because I'm not a technitian. This problem has happened twice before you don't have not helped me and then either and I ended up paying $750.00 for each visit to repair. This is the third time it's happened and I don't have a $750.00 to fix the problem. So what's left for me to do repair the damage?

  Always include your version of Windows.

  Right-click computer or my computer, devending on which version of Windows you have.  Select 'manage '.  When the window opens (you may need to tell UAC to allow him to), select "Device Manager" in the left pane.  Expand "audio, video and game controllers".  Do you think your sound device it?  If you see, there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside?  If this is not the case, what do you see in this section?
