"No audio device" after reinstalling Windows XP

I recently reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop Dell Inspiron 9400.  This laptop has Sound Blaster Audigy Advanced HD Audio integrated.  The sound worked fine before the reinstall.

Now I have no sound (other than the boring system beeps) and I get an error message that there is no audio device whenever I try to play an audio file.

I tried to reinstall the drivers from the CD of origin and on the dell download site.  For both, to Midway through the installation it stops and tells me that there is no audio device.

When I look in Device Manager there is no audio device listed and when I go to the components section of system of information there is no audio device.

Any ideas of what I can do to force the computer to recognize the processor integrated?

I ended up resolving this issue.  It is not enough to reinstall the Sound Blaster disc.  There was another driver who had to be downloaded from the Dell website before Sound Blaster could even see the audio device.

SIGMATEL - pilot - applies to the STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio

The Dell Web site lists this driver option, but it obviously wasn't.  As soon as it was installed my audio device has been found, and I was able to install the Sound Blaster CD.

I hope this helps someone else.

  • Audio device problem on Windows 8 64 Y510

    Hello dear readers. I have a lot of problems with my audio devices after the operating system upgrade to windows 8 on my lenovo y510. First of all default settings and drivers that I am working as any other failure, are evidence of each pair of speakers (this particular machine has 2 x 2 speakers and a subwoofer) as different devices on my audio settings. This of course means that I can only listen to one channel which is frankly frustrating...

    I tried to update the realtek drivers, and after restarting, I as a single device. With the help of those who suggested on lead lenovo horrible failure page, so I don't even bother. I think that this may be connected to the lack of software Dolby Home Theater, but all attempts to install it gave rise to a message "pceee is not installed.

    Did anyone of you had similar problems on this laptop in particular?

    TL; DR I would spend devices 5 speakers 3 in peripheral location 5 1 speakers

    TIL: I'm a fool.

    Well, turns out I found that my original drivers for Vista work like a charm.

    Hello

    Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

    It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

  • How much time after reinstalling window 7 32 Home Premium it take before that receive updates?

    * Original title: update Windows 7

    How long after reinstalling window 7 32 Home Premium does it take before that receive updates.

    Should be immediately the minute that an Internet connection is detected. I would advise that you install updates Windows Update batch well. There are about 300 post SP1 updates, more if you have reinstalled the version Windows 7 RTM.

    My recommendation would be to install updates in batches, these 5 at a time, exclude the hardware/driver updates. Avoid installing a set of updates for Microsoft Windows and Office at the same time. Also, try to install the first small updates. Avoid installing things like the .NET Framework and SQL Express updates.
    Whenever you install updates (it's a chore, but it guarantees a more reliable experience). Try to start the Microsoft Office updates for programs such as (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
    Another thing, try to download the updates, and then install them. When you are prompted to restart, disconnect from the Internet and restart your computer.
    To proceed with the installation of additional updates.
    If the continuous computer to become unresponsive, try the following:

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page.  But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:
    How to reset the Windows Update components

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit.  Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously.  Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode.  Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers.  If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode.  Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.
    I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  • After Reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening PSD files.

    After Reinstalling windows 7 has stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what is the problem. And how to fix it. Thank you.

    Maybe these files have been corrupted. I can't say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?

    If so, it is very rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try to reinstall photoshop. Then check that these files have been opened or not. In the opposite case. Then the only solution is a special software. I would use this program http://www.photoshop.recoverytoolbox.com/ on your site

    (it is not free but is very good and is not expensive. But in the future you will be immune to such situations. )

  • Satellite P10-873 - no sound after reinstalling windows device

    Satellite P10 873 PSP 16th:-not his Device
    Win XP-Home Edition SP2

    Everything was going well until a bad sector on the hard drive. I have Ran Chkdsk /r and re-installed windows.

    In Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager it is a unknown device in the sound,.
    Section of video and games controllers which I think can be unit XT of SRS truesurround.
    also Realtek AC97 sound devices shown as correct and functional.

    Tried to load the audio drivers from the website of Toshiba (sound-s-p10-xp-510005490) and still no audio device

    available from the configuration/sounds and Audio devices Control Panel.
    Got the patch KB888111 from Microsoft and installed, still no luck.

    Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong please?

    Satellite P10 is old enough laptop model. I have very good experiences with P20. It's almost the same laptop, but a bit bigger. A friend of mine uses P10 for the job and we have installed WXP Pro using all the tricks of the Toshiba support page. The OS is installed two years ago, and the sound still works.

    If you can not get this to work, I recommend you remove all the important data for the D partition or save on an external device and make the clean OS install. It will be interesting to see if the problem persists.

    By the way: is a connected to your laptop satellite external game controller?
    An interesting solution, I found here.

  • Windows does not recognize tv as audio device after it has been turned off and turned back on.

    I have my computer hooked up to a HD TV with the HDMI cable.  The sound also pretended on television.  The HDMI cable is connected to my Radeon HD 6950.  I use Realtek HD Audio Manager with the ATI HMDI default Audio device.  All records are up-to-date.

    When I put my TV off and leave the computer running, I go back and turn on the TV and the computer behaves as the TV is not plugged, but only for audio.  The video is still there.  In the audio playback window, I noticed that Windows would go to the optical audio device, even though there is nothing plugged into this Jack.  I disabled all other devices and left only the HDMI device, so it will not move on.  Now when I turn on the TV it is just like nothing is plugged in at all for the audio.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • No sound after reinstalling windows xp

    I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP Professional.  I installed the SP3 also.  Except that now it does not even record that I have a sound card.  Reinstall, I used with sound edge and it worked perfectly, but now in Device manager there is an exclamation mark next to "Audio device on high definition audio bus." After running dxdiag, it says that there is no sound card.  Any help would be appreciated.

    After having reinstalled XP did you download and install the audio drivers?

    Download drivers

    Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model if they have drivers for your version of Windows. Download the driver (s) and follow the instructions to install - the process may vary with different manufacturers, so I can't give you exact directions.
