  • No audio, audio, device says no audio device

    Can fix us my sound?

    My speakers are plugged in and powered and are not violated. But I must have done some settings change yesterday somewhere that has suddenly silenced them. They UM if I unplug the audio cable that they always have. And the internal speaker of my tablet is too quiet too. So some adjustment I did affected them both. Where should I look to fix this?

    If I go to control panel > sounds and Audio devices, it displays a property page that says no. Audio Device.

    I know I messed with drivers yesterday to solve another problem. Apparently, something that I had messed up my sound. Help!

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of your computer, navigate to the page of downloads for your device, then download and install the latest audio drivers XP. Don't be fooled MS Update to do the work for you.

    Restart and you should now have sound.

    See you soon,.

    Juanrodriguez dear reflects

    As you mentioned that you restore the files, what exactly did restore? You have restored the calm system restore point earlier where your system had no installed audio device driver? Restore you the windows on your system to a point where you have installed everything first?

    If Yes, then the solution is that search Windows Update for device drivers appropriate for your system or search the website of the manufacturer of the system drivers section to download updated sound/audio drivers. You are facing this problem because you restored to a point where no audio device has been installed on your system, up to lets say this day here.

    You can install the Audio drivers from a CD of support you received when you purchased the computer. Or view all of system restore CD/DVD that came with your system in order to restore the parameters to the constructor.

  • There is none its icon on the desktop, glancing in Panel configuration says "no audio devices available", but computer reads the startup sounds, what I can do to fix this?

    I have a mouse and Logitech wireless keyboard, and the kit supplied with the speakers that connect to a USB port. This good it worked until recently. When I hooked originally the wireless system, the speakers of original equipment that accompanies the computer Sony is working, so I removed pass them the place on my desk. I have genuine Windows XP with service pack 3 installed. I've recently updated the software for Logitech equipment, and I follow with Windows updates too. I have Norton antivirus protection, so I don't think I got a virus or something like that.

    Cordially... This is a Sony Vaio PVC-RS420 computer.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • I recently had to re - install Windows XP on my computer and lost all my stored programs. Now my speakers do not work. The control panel says no audio device. What should I do to recover my audio? None

    My audio does not work. It worked before I re-install Windows XP. What should I do? I'm supposed to have an audio installation disc? I'm new on the technical aspect of computers, so I know only the basics?

    Using the Device Manager is a good way to get the drivers, but if you do a clean install on a computer or laptop, you must download the supplied drivers initially installed on the computer or laptop to the manufacturer. that is, if you have a Dell, then go to the Dell website.
    the site Web of HP/Compaq
    the Site of Asus
    Acer site
    Alienware website (Now owned by Dell)
    eMachines Web site
    IBM Web site
    Sony Web site
    Toshiba Web site

    Have I no all the em? Anyway, if you have a driver supplied with the computer disc, use this cuz he'll have original manufacturer drivers and the software that you get on the website anyway.
    Also, if it's a Dell, you would like to have a look and print their Instructions on how to install the drivers, Dell cuz drivers must be installed in a specific order.
    Good luck.

  • no noise and it says no audio device installed

    Hi, I have problems with the sound on my HP pavilion dv6745us that has windows vista.  The taskbar shows no audio output device is installed, and when I open the volume reading tabs and recording say the same thing, even when I click on disabled and disconnected. They are not listed under Device Manager sounds either. More funny thing is once occasionally it works after it was closed for a while. It only stays on for a short while maybe 1/2 to 1 hour, and then turns off. When turned on, it shows audio hd conexant smart 221. I tried everything with the Device Manager and it does not at all appear here. Its as if it does not exist in the computer. I guess it's something to do with the driver and have looked everywhere for updates, but there is not. I saw one in the history of the update that failed at about 2 weeks before that I started to have problems, but it won't let me try again. I don't know much about computers so I hope that the answer is simple. Thank you

    Looks like your sound card may be faulty...
