  • No sound - get the error no active mixer device or no audio device installed

    Original title: downloads for devices sound cards/audio/active mixers
    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.

    Hello

    Strange could you please check if the "Windows Audio" service has been disabled.
    Go to RUN and type "services.msc", scroll down to "Windows Audio" and make sure it is running and/or standing on "automatic".

    This service should always runs.

    You can also try to remove the sound card and after restarting again the OS notebooks should recognize the card even once.

  • No sound or the taskbar icon, keyboard controls inopertive, the driver that is for the sound card? (Realtek AC97 Audio)?

    I have Windows xp and I have sound problems and I get answers as no card available and or no active mixer device. I read some outings. I'll problably do a full restore. But there's the right driver for the Realtek sound card.  I went from the top of the files down, checking the drivers and to see if there were those that could be updated. I have found only one and he said that all the rest are the best and all performed correctly.  I have sound if I play dvd but the only control I have is the speaker controls.  The icon in the task bar disappeared and my sound more of the keyboard are inopertive to.

    You most likely corruption sndvol32.exe, which is what allows access to the sound engineer and other sound controls in Windows. The solution is to restore from restoring your system. Following the steps in this tutorial on the way to install Windows Volume control should solve the problem and restore the normal functioning of your sound on your computer. The only thing to watch is to make sure you know which drive is actually the restore disc, because that can vary from the procedure described in the tutorial.

  • Tecra 9000 - Modem and sound card

    I have a Tecra 9000 with a cople of months there is a problem.

    The modem has not been recognized more...

    Given that the problem was not important that I took all measures.

    But now, it is the sound card that no longer works.

    It is not recognized by the operating system more.

    What seems to happen? Software or hardware problems?

    Best regards

    Paulo

    Hello

    It's not easy to say, what the problem is (software or hardware). First of all, you can try to delete these two devices (modem, sound card) Device Manager. After the start-up of the OS should recognize devices. In addition, you can try to install the new driver for these devices. If this action doesn't help, you can try to reinstall your system with the recovery CD.

  • How to get the stereo mix on the Satellite P500 with Conexant - SOLUTION sound card

    Hello people...
    I'll write here what it takes to run the 'stereo mix' on a laptop computer equipped with a sound card Conexant.
    I ran this feature on my laptop Satelilite P500
    to run this function, you need drivers nr. 4.111.0.62
    These drivers can be downloaded from the Lenovo Web site,
    These are the drivers of Lenovo G555 model IN2AUD25WW5.exe
    http://consumersupport.Lenovo.com/UK/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=150169
    Unzip the IN2AUD25WW5.exe file using winrar or 7zip
    next step is to find in the file "W7-64" or "W7 - 32""NELCC2wa.inf" ".
    Open the file "NELCC2wa.inf" in the "notebook" and add the ENTRY under Conexant.NTamd64.6.0]---> > vista
    or Conexant.NTamd64.6.1]---> > 7

    ENTRY
    %HdAudioFunctionDriver.Pebble5071.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModelNELA0V, HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5067 & SUBSYS_1179FFD4

    This entry its hardware id. Can be found in Device Manager
    After the entry, save and close the file "NELCC2wa.inf".
    next step is to update the driver in Device Manager
    in the Device Manager find the entry 'Conexant '.
    Right click and select "update driver".
    then you select "installation of a list or a specific location" or let me choose from a floppy disk

    and point to the location where you saved the unzipped and outdated file 'NELCC2wa.inf '.
    After this start of the computer, update the driver
    If all goes well, after installation, you should find the 'stereo mix' in the sounds of parameters
    Take advantage of...
    PS. It also works with XP 32 and 64-bit using driver 3.97.0.0 Lenovo

  • Satellite L350 - not visible in the sound card device manager

    Satellite L350 model: PSLD8E
    OS: Vista 32 bit SP2

    Hello

    Cannot install the drivers for sound card and audio device is no longer visible or detected in the vista Device Manager. Tried Realtek drivers toshiba download and disk but still no sound or device after reboot.

    its my dads specifications and he says its just stopped working. When I checked initially, the audio device was reported as driver problem in Device Manager. Remove and try to update the driver, no audio device is no longer only show.

    is it possible that the audio device of the motherboard is loose or defective? Toshiba provides software diagnostic tools to check equipment?

    UPDATE:

    I looked through the windows event logs and discovered several error messages indicating that the PNP device to realtek sound was unexpectedly disconnected.
    don't know if this is due to problem hardware or driver updates.

    Thanks for any help,

    Hello

    Have you tried to update the audio driver of Toshiba page? If she's not always you help, backup all files needed and do a clean install of Windows. Otherwise, it takes more enough time to understand and resolve what the simple installation of Windows and users of the Toshiba forum for the right answer pending. Reinstall it and see if the problem still occurs. The dysfunction of the material is also possible.
