• No sound in vista, error: no audio device is installed.

  Original title: no sound in vista, please help...

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

  No 'audio, video controller, game' on Device Manager

  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,

  Jerry Fulkerson

  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.

• 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,

• "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?

• After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

  Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

  I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

  I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

  I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

  I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

  In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

  Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

  Hello

  The on/off switch actually works?

  Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
  Start - so look at the screen.

  Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
  Re-install of Vista?

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
  manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
  updated drivers.

  I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
  are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.
