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.

  • "No audio output device is installed" error. Help, please!

    I went on my computer of Windows 8 this morning and was forced once more to "Configure Windows Updates". As always, it was impossible to stop it from happening. So I let it happen. Now usually updates (apparently) do nothing. But I was very angry to see that my audio was broken. He wouldn't let me turn off/turn on the sound, and if I scroll to the left and click on settings, the healthy thing says 'off '. If I go over it it says "No audio output device installed." I know that isn't true, because only yesterday, it worked fine and I uninstalled anything. So I surfed the internet and found that many people had the same problems. Some of the fixes I've tried were:

    Go to the control panel and go to the audio device and disable then enable it. N ' DID NOT WORK

    I also tried to make the 'System restore' method, which, in my view, WOULD have worked, except the system restore gave me an error message too!

    If someone can tell me how to correct the error of the system restore, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I did different things with the Control Panel, frantically trying to solve the problem. I spent more than a day of troubleshooting and nothing has worked. Help, please!

    Hi Wendy,.

    1. What is the accurate and complete error you get when you try to perform the system restore?
    2. What is the brand and model of the computer sound card?
    3. are you able to hear the sound of the headphones or external speaker output?


    Windows updates improve the security of Windows. If you need to install all updates pending Windows. I understand the difficulty when you lose the sound.

    Method 1:
    with the right button on the Volume in the Notification area icon. Choose devices to record or playback devices. In this window that appears with the right button on the devices listed as well as on a box empty to show more devices (devices disabled, etc.) and play with the options to configure your sound.


    Method 2:
    I suggest for the link and follow the steps in the article:


    No sound in Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/no-sound-help#no-sound=Windows-8&V1H=win8tab1&V2H=win7tab2&V3H=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1

    Also, try to update the audio drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Hope this solves the problem. If the problem persists, you can write to us and we will be happy to help you further.

    audio does not work. When I take the pointer to the audio symbol in the taskbar, it reads "no audio output device is installed". pls help me solve this problem

    You upgrade to Windows 10 or was your system shipped with it?  If you can provide information about the system, I will be able to help you.

  • 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.

    Help...

    Installation of this driver fixed the problem: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = US & swItem = ob-109687-1 & jumpid = reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0002

  • Satellite U300-152 - no audio output device is installed

    The sounds are works well when I do update windows, update antivirus and updated some software like adobe air and adobe shockwave but when I open the laptop the next morning, there is a red cross marked in the speaker icon on the lower right of the laptop and it says : "no audio output device is installed".

    I couldn't find the sound and game controller in Device Manager so I'm frustrated. Its been 3 days now, I use the laptop without noise.

    Can you please help me in this matter?

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite U300-152
    Windows 7 Ultimate but not pre-installed (Vista Home has been the pre-installed)

    I tried to download the latest audio driver from realtek high defintion, but its still does not. Tried several restarts, System Restore, disable antivirus but does not yet.

    I don't know what can be the problem but the fact is that updates Windows update offers some drivers and, in general, you should not install their Mr. with other words, you should only use the drivers from Toshiba.

    What can you do now? Have you tried to reduce the OS to an earlier time (before installing updates) and check the functionality?

    One last thing. Software driver Sound should start with Windows, then please check MSCONFIG > startup if the sound software is listed and enabled it.

    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:

    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.

  • Satellite L300D-243 - no audio output device is installed

    Hello

    I look for a similar problem in the forum but have not found anything that's been resolved.
    I'll try to explain how my problem came.

    My sound is fine until when a few days ago I tried to lower the volume and then all of a sudden it froze.
    Came a message that his unit has stopped working.
    I restarted the laptop, but it has not started at all, nothing on the screen, just the fan runs at slow speed. I figured it by removing one of the plates of ram and then with the possible one began almost success except he was not an indication of a sound, just the message "no audio output device is installed", and an 'x' on the taskbar icon sound.

    In Device Manager it is not anything related to an audio device High Definition Audio Controller except under the menu system devices.

    So what do you think, is this a hardware or no problem and is it fixable.
    Hope someone can give me an answer.

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you read this thread:
    https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread.php?82746

    Open the Device Manager.
    Then expand the sound, video and game controllers, click on the Realtek High definition Audio choose: turn OFF, then turn ON.

    If you can not find Realtek HD audio device (this is the sound card), so I recommend you click on view and choose 'show hidden devices '. Perhaps the sound card appears in the list...

    In addition, visit the Realtek driver page and download and install the latest Realtek HD audio driver.

    Hope that it could solve the problem

  • Equium L350D - no audio output device is installed

    Hello

    I hope someone can help with this.
    I recently had to use the recovery with my Equium L3510D disc and then I had some problems.
    Initially, the wireless card did not work.

    Now, he says: "no audio output device is installed".
    I had to do all this when I bought the laptop and it was not the problem that made me use the recovery disc.

    I hope someone can help!

    See you soon

    Hello

    Check your device manager if there is some yellow exclamation points next to the sound card. Maybe you will find also a few unknown devices

    In this case it would means that you're talking about card driver is not installed correctly.
    I would say that you should visit the Toshiba driver page, choose your model of laptop, download the audio driver and reinstall it again.

  • Satellite A200 - no Audio output device is installed

    Yesterday, my sound system functioned normally.

    Thank you

    I agree with Luke.
    Try reinstalling the audio driver.

    Choose your model of laptop to European Toshiba driver download form and download the right driver for right OS.

  • No Audio output device is installed (Windows 10 64 bit, HP Pavilion 500 series)

    Model number: 500-007 a

    Operating system: 10 64-bit Windows

    Description of the problem: no sound.

    Hello

    I came from TenForums forum, hoping to find a solution to the problem of noise from my office.

    Status of the solution of the problem is at: http://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/45369-no-audio-output-device-installed.html

    When I move my cursor on the audio icon on the corner at the bottom right of the screen, the message of the index says "no Audio output device is installed". By clicking on the audio icon so that windows are trying to solve the problem will not solve the problem.

    In Device Manager, I have 2 "High definition audio controller" that display a yellow "!" mark on them. Both controllers are on the devices tab of system.

    As you can see in the picture above, there is no tab "audio, video controller and game."

    How can I get my sound back?

    Thank you.

    You are the very welcome.

    What worries me is that your device manager does not have the IDT HD audio listed under sound video and game controllers Device Manager.

    Normally, when you install W10, the IDT HD audio device is in the list, and it just doesn't work.

    You can try reinstalling W10 and see what happens.
