    Hello, I got my laptop crash currently and when I came back, I have no sound except for the beeps. I can't hear CDs or audio files on different Web sites. I can livestream and see a video, but not hear. I plugged headphones and have the same results. I get the error codes are no active mixer device and there may be no audio device installed. I have a windows xp operating system. I don't know where to go to start a download for sound cards.
    Thank you.

    We can try to install the drivers manually. It seems that every time that your device has crashed, someone reloaded Windows without having to install the device drivers.

    Let's start by trying to install the audio driver first. This one we might have to do it manually, but the others should be automatic. This gives a test:
    1. go to: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z465.exe and download the 7zip archive manager
    2 download, register, and install the utility on your computer
    3. once the utility installed, go ahead and re - download the audio driver package
    4. save the package on your desktop (or somewhere easy to access)
    5. once the package downloaded, find him, do a right click and choose "extract here...". "or something similar in nature. Basically we will extract the contents of the package and install it manually
    6. once the content is extracted, click START
    7. in the menu START, right-click on "Computer" and choose "Properties".
    8. in the upper left corner, click on Device Manager.
    9. find your Multimedia Audio Controller, right click and select 'Update Driver'... »
    10. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    11. click on the button 'Browse' at the top
    12. place where are the files extracted from this driver package
    13. Browse in the folder extracted and select the listed file. If there are several of those who choose an and and if it's just, the Setup will continue. If this is not the case, the installation program displays and error and then you just go back and try the alternate
    14. from there, the installer should walk you on the rest of the steps to manually install the driver package
    As far as your other drivers go, I would recommend going to the bridge site and looking for a driver of Modem for your computer model. The audio driver should be supported at this stage, and the Ethernet driver can be a joint wireless adapter you have. You may need to find a driver for it on the site of the gateway, OR if you bought the adapter you need to go to the device manufacturer's Web site and get you a driver there.

  • Realtek 'Stereo Mix' lack of Audio recording devices

    Realtek HD Audio "Stereo Mix" device is missing in the recording devices in the sound control panel applet.

    Is there a secret register edition or something else to see this device option?

    I enabled both these options tab check - neither worked.
    "Show devices turn off.
    "Show disconnected devices".
     
    I installed the latest audio drivers from Realtek and Dell. No 'Stereo Mix' presentation.

    Anyone, please help.

    Here's an entry forum from a guy who said it fixed "Missing Stereo Mix" on a Sony machine by editing the registry. It has IDT audio drivers

    IDT has of a registration for "Rec.Playback" option, which is the same as the stereo mix, so no need of a tool for editing on these models.

    Yours is the first post I've seen that reported no stereo on a Realtek driver mix when turned off and disconnected show are checked.

    In regard to older drivers you don't have much to choose from on the Dell site. I worry not so much about to try. If you don't like them just re - install the current. (Before installing an old one first remove the current in the control panel > view by category > uninstall a program.)

    6.0.1.6194, A01

    6.0.1.6240, A02

    About the rumor about Dell, I would say that it is more likely a decision made by Realtek if even the direct driver from his site doesn't have stereo mix.

  • No audio; possible driver issue. "There is no available mixer devices."

    I can not play sounds on my computer: no CD, no mp3s, not iTunes, no system sounds, nothing. When I try to open my sound engineer (Volume control), it gives me the following error message:

    "There is no mixer device. To install mixer devices, go to control panel, click Printers and other devices, and then click Add Hardware. This program will be closed. »

    I tried adding hardware, uninstall and re-install my drivers, check the physical connections and power cords, restart, and ensure all relevant in services.msc is set to automatic. Nothing did. Many devices (under audio, video and game controllers) device displays Manager works not properly: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers... SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio, etc. When I check the properties of these devices, it gives the following message appears in the status of the device (general tab):

    "A driver (service) for this device has been disabled.  Another driver can provide this functionality. (Code 32) »

    They are activated, the only problem seems to be one or more drivers. But the update does not resolve the problem and troubleshooting of Windows doesn't help.

    I worked with someone in the Bleeping Computer to remove malicious software, and we have identified a few days that my machine was clean. The tech who was helping me said the audio problem is a separate issue from malware, but I suspect that the malware could have damaged something or change my settings. I thought it might have been accidentally caused by my use of AutoRuns (a few hours before I noticed the sound problem and in the middle of the 9-day process to remove malware) to disable malicious programs which were auto-loading, but I can't find anything that looks related to the sound that is not set to automatic loading at startup.

    I noticed in AutoRuns, that the aeaudio.sys driver is set to auto-charge but it says "File not found" in the Path column. I checked the system32 folder and it wasn't there at the beginning, but then I found the file in two other folders and copied in system32, yet AutoRuns still says it is not found. I tried to reboot to see if that would refresh but he says always not found. Also, I can't see how a problem with a driver (aeaudio.sys) that filters background noise (during the recording of the sounds, right?) can knock out all my audio.

    I have studied this problem for days and that you can find no answer to the problem. Help, please.

    msecox,

    Bad news: the problem is hardware, not software. I tried to install a new sound card, but it turned out that the part of my motherboard that sound control has been fried. Also, you may want to replace the sound card before condemning the audio controller. If this fails, your best bet is to replace all of your PCs, because a new motherboard will cost almost $200 (in addition to work if you can not install it yourself).

    Good luck!

  • 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.

    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
