No audio device. How to fix?

When I go to sounds and audio devices through Control Panel there is no device listed for playback or playback of MIDI music. The box is grayed out, so I can't select another device. This happened after I deleted a program called HD ADeck from my computer but I can't find a way to reinstall.

I searched the internet for solutions but have had no luck.

I tried the system restore, but my computer could not restore to an earlier date.

An online forum suggested I remove the current audio devices and reboot the computer, which should then restore the necessary readers. When I go in the Manager of devices devices listed for sound, video and game controllers are all working properly, but I don't see how to remove them. Also the location of them is unknown.

Any help gratefully received. With our thanks.

  • Audio Device notfound & PCI on Aspire One device driver problem

    I have 2 Aspire One netbooks, both worked fine a major accident. I installed a new xp with SP3 and all the Acers site download drivers for my netbook by serial number. After that everything seems to work properly, I did an image and cloned the other netbook.

    When I open my control panel and look at the sounds it says "no Audio device is found.

  • "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.

    Hello, DuFF1

    You can have only one default device.

    It is not possible to put two devices by default, nor is it possible to configure the output in default Media Center device. You can try searching for additional Media Center change the audio device by default or continue editing the device default manually before watching TV on the Internet.

  • I have no sound when playing my clips by adobe first 12 elements. How to fix this? I checked all the audio levels and there is no mute etc. I've updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

    I have no sound when playing my clips by adobe first 12 elements. How to fix this? I checked all the audio levels and there is no mute etc. I've updated to 12.1, but still no sound in clips. Not even on the old files that are used to work.

    Bfun

    What operating system is running your first items 12/12.1? Can we assume that this audio reads OK

    on the same computer when you use a computer independent of Premiere Elements drive?

    What are the properties of these clips that have worked before, but don't know regarding sound

    For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64bits.

    Have you checked the settings change preferences/Menu/Audio ASIO hardware? You have all 3rd party audio devices integrated in your IT environment?

    Please delete the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file and, if it does not, then all 12.0 folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Is the path to 64-bit Windows 7, 8 or 8.1

    Local disk C

    Users

    Owner

    AppData

    Roaming

    Adobe

    First Elements

    12.0

    and in the 12.0 folder, is the file Adobe Premiere elements Prefs that you delete. If this does not work, then delete all 12.0 the folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you work with the Option "Show hidden files, folders and drives" of the current folder so that you can see the full quoted path.

    You have the installation files or the installation disc with the serial number purchased in case we need to use to uninstall/reinstall?

    We will follow your track to the top.
