    It seems that your audio driver is corrupted or does not.

    In this case, you need to reinstall your audio drivers...

    If you have a drivers and utility of your computer CD that you insert and reinstall your audio drivers... Otherwise, you will need to download it from Toshiba Web site... Contact Toshiba for the same Support,

    Recently bought an Emerson TV that is has a PC plug. Hooked to the TV for the monitor cable and bought a mini audio cable with one end plugs into the speaker jack the rear of the computer and the other end of this cable is divided into a red RCA plug and a white RCA connector to the audio on the TV.

    Played a movie and it displays fine but I have no sound. So everything disconnected and hooked my computer following up and my external computer speakers back up exactly as it was before still have no sound.

    Hello

    You can first check in BIOS advanced settings if the onboard sound is enabled.

    You can see the manual of the system manufacturer or contact the system manufacturer for more information on how to make the changes in the BIOS.

    Note: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Please follow the steps below and we update with the results.

    Method 1: Follow the steps in the following article and check.

    I was angry myself in the walls for weeks... the sound, in the lower right icon, has the small x on the subject. I go over it, and it says "Volume: 0-top-speakers-Realtek High definition Audion peripheral ' but when you click on it, no volume slider appears and when right click, select open Volume mixer, but it says"no audio device is installed"in a small window. I reinstalled the drivers audio as many times, without success. In its in the Control Panel, it says that the devices are there, but when I select properties for the device and click the levels tab, there is no detail, totally blank. Help, please... I have a HP's Pavilion a6303w desktop, works with Windows Vista Home Premium sp2.

    Hello

    Step 1: It is also likely that you need better drivers for the chipset or audio device. Consult the manufacturer for the latest drivers for your sound card and chipset.

    Step 2: Also to isolate the problem, you can use another sound card and check if the problem persists.

  • Its icon does not appear in the notification area - no audio device is installed

    NO INSTALLED AUDIO DEVICE & NO SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLER NOT TAB ON DEVICE MANAGER

    I had some problems with the sound on my laptop... sometimes the volume icon will suddenly disappear from the notification area and I can not add it even because it is grayed off the coast, unless I restarted my laptop... and after an automatic Windows Update I suddenly got errors on my sound whenever I play a game and try to mute it. After that, the volume in the notification area icon got a red X and it had the "NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED" message!

    I tried everything I found on the net without success. I can't even enable or disable my audio driver because I have NOT any how 'audio, video controller & game' tab on my DEVICE MANAGER! I can't uninstall & re-install my drivers either because it would not uninstall first, even in safe mode. Reinstall the driver will give me an error message saying "No. MEDIA FOUND to this DEVICE DRIVER" !

    I also tried to reformat my laptop and goes back to factory settings, restore my system to a point where I wasn't having problems still, it reboot several times, always check the Device Manager if somehow the tab for its controller will magically appear and try several times to reinstall my driver... This gave me No. SOLUTION !

    I don't know what to do more and forums on other sites do no help either. I don't want to dirty my registry for fear of totally play my laptop.

    HOW can I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I just got windows update and not only I have problems with the audio on my laptop but I can't play games on facebook either!

    Hi Annetalla,

    You can uninstall the current sound driver from Device Manager and restart the computer to load the generic driver and check if it makes a difference.

    1. click on Start.

    2. type devmgmt. msc in the search box start and press to enter.

    3. right click on the speaker and select Uninstall.

    4 restart the computer, and vista will load the generic drivers.

    If an audio device on board, you will see the option in the BIOS. To do this, you need to read the manual that came with your computer or contact the manufacturer for this.

  • Vista Home Premium; "no audio device is installed" after update Realtek.

    Hello

    I recently updated the driver from myRealtek, and after reboot as recommended, I got a red X on my sound icon and the message "no audio device is installed" under the sound engineer. Realtek and Unimodem drivers audio show that they work and I uninstalled both and reinstalled the latest versions and then uninstalled and reinstalled the original ones that came on the computer, but nothing has worked. I stopped, started and restarted Windows Audio and tried restoring the system (without success) and recovery of driver (would be successful) but I have still no sound.

    I run Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, Service Pack 1 on a HP Pavilion dv6648se.

    Ideas, suggestions or comments would be appreciated, I'm starting to think that I might have to perform a full recovery of the system. Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The main thing is the driver version in Device Manager - the same as that of its
    you installed
    - you run the driver - restart until it is - you must do it manually and not use the
    Updated driver (more than initially) and not to use the restoration in the Device Manager. Also check doubke
    you actually have the appropriate driver.

    Check/settings (BIOS/CMOS) as you start screen - often F2 shows you start for the keys. Do
    its edge is activated,

    If you can not do work check with HP Support and forums for known issues. Or take to a real
    computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a BestBuy or other BigBox stores).

    You can also disable the sound board and use a USB sound card that is not expensive.

  • HP ENVY m6-1125dx Notebook PC: "no audio device is installed" after refresh. (No sound)

    Hi, I've recently refreshed my laptop. It was a horrible mistake. All my documents remained where they were, but all my applications have been erased. I had to redownload mozilla firefox, google chrome, microsoft office, HP cool sense, Adobe and many many more. I'm drawn to believe that this update also affects my sounds. I lost him. I tried to solve this problem and discovered "no audio device is installed". I also lost my control panel of beats (my laptop came with audio of the beast). I went to redownload this on the site of HP but he said that there is no update or downloads for my device because everything was already up to date. I tried to download the drivers, but this was not good. Why a driver would help me a device that apparently is not yet installed.

    Need help! Help, please.

    -A

    Thanks guys, but I solved the problem. When I went to the HP support page to download my audio driver, he told me that everything was up-to-date. It's because I entered my operating system like Windows 10. When I said that my operating system is Windows 8.1, it gave me a list of drivers so I can install it. Even if it wasn't under my operating system (Windows, 10), I was able to download drivers for my laptop that is operational. I downloaded the correct driver for my audio devices that solved the problem.

    Thanks anyway,

    Hello ShawnKohl,

    We can also try to go back to a time where he worked with system restore.

    Once this has been done, check the hat of Windows updates are available and hide the audio driver updates that are available.

    System Restore:

    Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

    Windows Vista/7 - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore

    Updates of masking:

    Please note that in addition to that, the advice of the previous poster remains true: we want to get the latest audio driver on the system of the manufacturer.

  • "No audio device is installed." Where's my audio?

    I have a HP Pavilion a6152n Desktop PC, and I'm on Vista 32 bit.  My audio was going well until I installed a GeForce GT545 graphics card.  Now I have no sound.  I don't know which driver to install, because according to Device Manager, no audio device is installed.  I think remember me the Realtek name before.

    Any thoughts?

    Some graphics cards seem to disable audio internal, because they take audio over himself.
    Have you checked BIOS to reactivate audio internal?
