    Method 1

    If there is no sound card in the list, in the Device Manager your computer does not have a sound card or driver for the sound card has not been properly installed.

    I suggest you manual download the latest drivers for the soundcard on the computer by visiting the manufacturer of the card and check if it works.

  • No audio output device is installed. How can I find one and install?

    I tried to clean my computer because he had some free software on it like registry reboot etc.  I think I uninstalled a necessary audio file and now my little speaker icon is showing an x through it, and I get the message "no audio output device is installed" can I easily fix or am I in a big service charge?

    It's easy.

    Just identify the audio device in device manager. (which should be listed) and go to the site of the Lim.  Look for the latest driver for your system (don't forget 32-bit or 64)

    Download and install it.

    If you have trouble that he tell the model and we can find it for you

  • 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

  • No Audio output device is installed... need more suggestions I already tried the solutions proposed by the Help menu.

    I get the message "no Audio output device is installed" with the little thing red x in the lower right corner of my computer screen. I looked up problems and common solutions.
    I uninstalled the device drivers in the menu equipment and also in the menu programs and features, after this, I restarted my computer before reinstalling.
    I did it too, but instead of reainstalling manually, I plugged my audio in a different speaker and let the computer to reinstall the driver by itself.
    I restarted the computer, the system restored the computer, put it to sleep, awake it save, close and let rest before restarting it.
    I checked the BIOS menu and changed the sound is activated instead of auto and tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers with this option, but the small x is still there.
    When I go into my control panel Device Manager and open the sound video and game controllers, I see my Realtek High definition audio. I open it to properties and it says it's working properly... then why my sound is not working? I've also updated the drivers and downloaded specifically on the realtek site, but no difference was filed.

    The sound is working again. I went camping for 2 days and came back, and it worked. It did NOT work once again before I left, he was dead. It sounds terrible, it of quiet and fades quieter and the but it works.

    None of the suggestions given here did something to help my problem. The proposed update does not work on my computer, I couldn't even download. I'll probably install a new sound card, but I would have liked your comments on this suggestion since I asked if this might be the problem several times. I'm annoyed that there was no way real and say what my problem is that after I answered engineers none of them responded to additional feedback I had given.

    Hi Jammyhorse,

    1. What is the number of brand and model of the PC?

    2. when the problem started?

    3. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Step 1:

    You can check the following link and run the Fixit and see if helps solve the problem.

    Step 2:

    In the BIOS settings advanced, you can also check if the onboard sound is enabled.

  • 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!

  • 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.

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.
