"No Audio device" all at once on Windows XP, how to fix this?

Just for information:

-A long time ago I started to use a headset on my laptop (Toshiba) to online conferences. Its has worked well for the helmet and on the laptop's built-in speakers.

-A month there are built-in speakers stopped working, and I could only hear things in my helmet.

-J' recently lost my helmet so now I can't hear anything.

-When to check the control panel and click sounds and Audio devices, it says "No. Audio Device" and all options are disabled.

-When you open Device Manager, the "Other devices" directory is open and all the devices listed in it have icons of yellow question mark with dots exclamation mark next to them.

-J' tried to uninstall the devices listed in the "Other devices" directory and leave the window reinstall them on reboot - I read on another site - but every time I did nothing has changed.

-The directory of sound, video and game controllers has 5 things listed in there: Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy video Capture devices, media control, Audio Codecs, Codecs video devices. None of them have all the icons next to them warning.

-When right click on each one and select "update driver", each of them come in saying that 'impossible to find a better match the software currently installed. I don't know if it's just to check my system or if it also checks the internet.

So, what are the options I am left with now? I need to do some work with videos, looking at them on their media player and their change in Movie Maker, and I keep says that the audio hardware cannot be found "required" and I can't use the app.

Thank you.

Hi TiJuanWells,

Check to see of the audio peripheral show in Device Manager by following these steps:

  • Click Start
  • Right click on my computer
  • Select Manage
  • Select Device Manager
  • Expand sound, video and game controllers

If the devices are there and are not installed, right-click on the device and install it or update drivers.
