"No Audio output device is installed" after installing Windows 7

  • I installed my windows 7 64-bit today (previously used 7 ultimate, which is the first operating system, I used on this computer because it is fairly new) and after installing some things, trying to get internet work etc. I know that my sound is not working. There is a small speaker symbol with a small red circle with a white cross on it that says "no Audio output device is installed." When I go over it. Troubleshooting comes up with nothing. I tried searching forums but the suggestions I've found is came up with nothing. I tried to go into Device Manager, re-installing drivers there and display hidden devices. I have also shown disabled/disconnected devices in the menu "playback devices". I use headphones instead of speakers (because I do not have all the speakers) and while I got ultimate they worked only when it is connected to the rear. My friend computer, which helped me to set up my computer says that it was a problem with the ultimate place of my computer, do not know if this is related but thought better include it anyway. Your help is much appreciated, thank you in advance.

I have no sound Windows 7 either. I just upgraded from XP Home to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Virgin Media freedom Netbook. Everything except playing the sounds works perfectly.

I checked in the Device Manager. An audio device high definition is installed. There is a recording device installed also. However, no midi playback is available.

I tried an update and uninstalled and reinstalled automatically. No joy.

I understand that Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth V1.1.  is a software-only device for playback. It is not a hardware driver. I know that it is present on the netbook because Tuneup 2010 detected it as peripheral to read. However Windows 7 has not detected. Is there a Windows 7 compatible driver for this? If not, is a coming soon?

PS I've restored temporarily XP from an Acronis backup image. Sound worked perfectly as before, so I know there is no hardware problems

You will need to keep the control working drivers for the audio device. Win 7 will not play sounds without a.

    Operating system: 10 64-bit Windows

    Description of the problem: no sound.

    Hello

    I came from TenForums forum, hoping to find a solution to the problem of noise from my office.

    Status of the solution of the problem is at: http://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/45369-no-audio-output-device-installed.html

    When I move my cursor on the audio icon on the corner at the bottom right of the screen, the message of the index says "no Audio output device is installed". By clicking on the audio icon so that windows are trying to solve the problem will not solve the problem.

    In Device Manager, I have 2 "High definition audio controller" that display a yellow "!" mark on them. Both controllers are on the devices tab of system.

    As you can see in the picture above, there is no tab "audio, video controller and game."

    How can I get my sound back?

    Thank you.

    You are the very welcome.

    What worries me is that your device manager does not have the IDT HD audio listed under sound video and game controllers Device Manager.

    Normally, when you install W10, the IDT HD audio device is in the list, and it just doesn't work.

    You can try reinstalling W10 and see what happens.

  • "No Audio output device is installed" Windows Dell Inspiron 15z 10

    The audio on my device has stopped working. Audio icon in taskbar displays a red as if X cut, when you hover over the icon, it displays the error "no Audio device is installed". Checked in the Device Manager unable to find the right option. Installed the Realtek HD audio drivers on the Realtek site without solution. Help, please?

    You can get the drivers for the Inspiron 15z 5523 html page. Use the driver to Win 8.1 (marked 'WB64A') or one of the ones Win7. First, go to Device Manager and right click on the Realtek Audio device high definition to open the context menu, then 'uninstall' and check the box "delete the driver for this device."

    When you restart Windows deletes the Realtek driver and install sound driver audio native. See if audio works. Then you can install a driver IDT native driver without deleting everything first.

    If the driver IDT or the native can help, try to return to your previous operating system. If the audio still does not work then the material has probably failed. If this does not work in the previous operating system, and then perform a new installation of Win10 and see if it works.

    Hello

    Go to the Device Manager and in order to choose the hidden devices.
    Now you should see all the devices that are available on this system.

    Now go to the sound, video and game controllers and remove the Intel(r) High Definition Audio HDMI, audio Conexant high definition Smart, etc.

    In system devices, remove the Microsoft UAA Bus driver for high definition.

    Now, restart the laptop.

    After the new operating system reboot Windows should recognize all devices again.
    Check this box!

    If this does not download the Conexant audio driver and reinstall

  • No Audio output device is installed... need more suggestions I already tried the solutions proposed by the Help menu.

    I get the message "no Audio output device is installed" with the little thing red x in the lower right corner of my computer screen. I looked up problems and common solutions.
    I uninstalled the device drivers in the menu equipment and also in the menu programs and features, after this, I restarted my computer before reinstalling.
    I did it too, but instead of reainstalling manually, I plugged my audio in a different speaker and let the computer to reinstall the driver by itself.
    I restarted the computer, the system restored the computer, put it to sleep, awake it save, close and let rest before restarting it.
    I checked the BIOS menu and changed the sound is activated instead of auto and tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers with this option, but the small x is still there.
    When I go into my control panel Device Manager and open the sound video and game controllers, I see my Realtek High definition audio. I open it to properties and it says it's working properly... then why my sound is not working? I've also updated the drivers and downloaded specifically on the realtek site, but no difference was filed.

    The sound is working again. I went camping for 2 days and came back, and it worked. It did NOT work once again before I left, he was dead. It sounds terrible, it of quiet and fades quieter and the but it works.

    None of the suggestions given here did something to help my problem. The proposed update does not work on my computer, I couldn't even download. I'll probably install a new sound card, but I would have liked your comments on this suggestion since I asked if this might be the problem several times. I'm annoyed that there was no way real and say what my problem is that after I answered engineers none of them responded to additional feedback I had given.

  • No Audio output device is installed, no sound in Device Mangager Toshiba Satellite Vista

    I have the dreaded red X on the Volume control, "no Audio output device is installed", no. Sound Devices in device Mangager / Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7901 running Vista-32. FixIt seem to fixit, or find.

    The solutions that I have seen and tried on the Web just walk me through the first steps of the three solution and then drop out of cyberspace. I heard sound on this machine before, briefly, and then she returned to the non-cooperative State. I saw a few techno-jibberish once on the drivers are properly installed, to ensure that they are saved and enter into the registry and remove, from repair, screw up as much as you can before throwing the PC to the wall because you don't know what they speak and are to afraid to taste the risky proceedures, restore cannot help , or something.

    What happened, what is the solution of 4th or 5th person has told and Toshiba wants hundreds of dollars to diagnose, and then just says that the computer must be replaced if they are too lazy or too ignorant to investigate and solve problems or reveal the real solutions. Reinstall the correct drivers does not work, there is no folder Sound and the game in Device Manager controller. I'm tenatious.

    I also have a USB Port that Windows doesn't recognize after him malfuncitoned, why? FixIt can't find it, can't fixit. I suspect someone stuck the wrong connector on the USB port and fried something - can't rip out and replace it? I came back home, limited, vision limited, duration of limited attention, limited by the reckless lack of "Technicians" to help. I guess you are supposed to be able to pay and pay and pay for computer assistance, or die with your computer.

    I just want this computer works correctly, as long as it costs, so I can go on the problem in my life.

    Torchured!

    Hello

    Did you download the drivers directly from Toshiba for your model particulare?

    Here is a link to that.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    And there are the Toshiba Forums you can ask

    http://forums.Toshiba.com/

    Or you can backup your data and reinstall the operating system

    You don't say if you have a Vista DVD that accompanies it.

    Otherwise, you have a recovery Partition to reinstall Vista from

    I started my pc windows 7 today like any other day, and he has not played the music to start. Then I looked at the volume icon in the corner and there was a big red X on the speaker symbol. I go over it and it displays the message "no audio output device is installed". I was confused, so I went to check the Device Manager and there is no sound Devices(or whatever it is called) tab.

  • No Audio output device is installed - but it is solid

    Hi all

    I'm using a Thinkpad T420 Windows 7 x 64. Since yesterday, I recognized the symbol small speaker in the tray has a red x and says no Audio output device is installed. It's embarrassing, because the laptop and all speakers I connected on the work of the Audio Port. Whenever I click on the symbol, it will accompany the troubleshooting but can not find any error. The problem is, that normally I adjust the sound through this symbol, but this adjustment bar will appear only the resolution of the problems.

    I tried to reinstall the device, without change. I tried to install the latest driver for Lenovo, but Windows did not subsequently and went back to the previous driver version. I stop and start the Windows Audio Service, no change... ideas?
