No Audio output device is installed and no "Sounds" not listed in Device Manager.

I turned on the computer yesterday and immediately noticed the Red "x" of white/circle on the "speaker" icon. Roll the cursor over the icon gives me the message "no Audio output device installed. I have already read through the forums and tried some of the suggestions offered without result. Here's a quick deterioration of the situation. I am running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium service pack 2 on a Dell Dimension DM061 (32 bit). No updates have been downloaded and the system was not put into hibernation. I tried restoring the system without result. The Device Manager shows not yet "Sound, video and game controllers" to watch the drivers or disable them. He has not disabled or disconnected devices to display. To the best of my knowledge the soundcard is part of the motherboard with this system, so I've no idea what driver I could find. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello

I was hoping that the main issue was in the BIOS but it is also why I posted links to Dell
Support and their forums because he may be known issues with your model.

Check this click - Device Manager - anywhere in the area in white/white - and then VIEW - chech to see the
Hidden - devices you can locate the audio device it?

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

If necessary:

Try an InPlace upgrade or repair Installation to see if your audio device can be reset.
If so it would probably be a good idea to update or re - install the latest drivers.

You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a good
backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

On-site upgrade

This tells you how to access the System Recovery Options and/or a Vista DVD

How to perform a repair for Vista Installation
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

==============================

If those don't help you probably need a real computer store (leeks and pics
at a Best Buy or other department stores) or Support of Dell.

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

Another possibility if there is a problem with the hardware with the audio device:

Car sound can be turned off in the BIOS and card USB sound a speedboat can be used
that is not expensive.

Use your favorite search engine search - sound card USB or USB its adapter.

I hope this helps.

  • No audio output device is installed. How can I find one and install?

    Just identify the audio device in device manager. (which should be listed) and go to the site of the Lim.  Look for the latest driver for your system (don't forget 32-bit or 64)

    Download and install it.

  • WANTED m6 that no audio output device is installed

    Hi, I was looking at a CD on my m6 DESIRE last night and it worked fine.  Today, I have the speaker with a red icon in the lower right corner of the screen and when hovering over it says "no audio output device is installed".  I tried to uninstall the device driver, but that didn't fix it there.

    The driver for device "IDT High Definition Audio Codec" under sound, video and game in Device Manager controllers also has a yellow exclamation point.  When I uninstall and reboot, sometimes just with the yellow mark again.  If I try to upgrade the driver, I get an error message "Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it."  A device attached to the system does not work.

  • Satellite U300-152 - no audio output device is installed

    The sounds are works well when I do update windows, update antivirus and updated some software like adobe air and adobe shockwave but when I open the laptop the next morning, there is a red cross marked in the speaker icon on the lower right of the laptop and it says : "no audio output device is installed".

    I couldn't find the sound and game controller in Device Manager so I'm frustrated. Its been 3 days now, I use the laptop without noise.

    Can you please help me in this matter?

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite U300-152
    Windows 7 Ultimate but not pre-installed (Vista Home has been the pre-installed)

    I tried to download the latest audio driver from realtek high defintion, but its still does not. Tried several restarts, System Restore, disable antivirus but does not yet.

    I don't know what can be the problem but the fact is that updates Windows update offers some drivers and, in general, you should not install their Mr. with other words, you should only use the drivers from Toshiba.

    What can you do now? Have you tried to reduce the OS to an earlier time (before installing updates) and check the functionality?

    One last thing. Software driver Sound should start with Windows, then please check MSCONFIG > startup if the sound software is listed and enabled it.

    I remember when I got it I got an another "HD Audio Device" in this category - it is the one which has totally gone now and is quite important what I do:

    Please PLEASE please can someone help!
    Is it a hardware failure?

    Will be grateful for any comments. Thank you so so so much to read :)

    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" on Portege M600

    Hi all

    I had this problem. Today in the afternoon, I was working with my M600 while listening to music. Suddenly, there's like a voice of vibrations... as "zzzz" voice. I was surprissed and decided to cut my music player (I use winamp) and continued complete my work. But, whenever I did by clicking on, this noise appeared with 'click' sound. So, I decided to turn off the PC.

    But now, I surprised because when I turn on my PC, there is "No Audio output device is installed" msg with the sign of the Red Cross on my speakers. I do not anything for the sound before. I have not installed anything. I have day my anti-virus, but that's all.
    This is not the first time happened. I had - a little - this problems twice but it was because I had windows update and I solved it by restoring the system.

    I did system restore, but it still won't work. I really need a help, since sound is so important to me!

    Have idea what had happened and how to handle this?

    Thank you in advance.

    Have you tried to install a new sound card driver?
    You can find this driver on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Of course, it could also be a hardware problem with your motherboard and/or the sound chip but try first to update the driver.

    The sounds you describe could also be a HARD drive problem.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - no audio output device installed

    Hi, I would appreciate some help with my installation of 32 bit Vista on my Satellite Pro L20 series.

    Installation went well but my sound icon has a cross with her and when I place the mouse over it I see the message: no audio output device installed. I went in full with privilagesand Device Manager there is an exclamation following audio controller appliances. I looked at the General properties and it says: "this device is not configured correctly (code 1). I uninstalled the driver and downloaded Realtek AC97-Ref: 6285_Vista_APO_PG536 driver installed and rebooted but I still got the same error messages!

    Can someone help me? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times now, I don't know where to go next!

    Concerning

    Hello

    As a boarder, said, if you have a Conexant sound card, you should look for a Conexant audio driver.
    The Realtek driver will never work because that makes this different s.

    Check other Toshiba laptops for the same card his Conexant. Maybe you can find a Conexant Vista driver.

  • Re: Satellite a series - error message "No Audio output device" installed

    The small icon in the lower right corner that normally allows you to control the sound settings now appear with a red X next to it, and when I move the mouse over it I get the message above "No Audio output device" installed I have absolutely no idea why this happens suddenly, but I noticed a couple of weeks, and then a few days later, when I turned on the laptop, the sound was back to normal.

    Now, I have this message again-, it seems it's random... sometimes when I turn on the machine it is ok, other times I get the above message. I touch any of the settings ever as I am a non-technical person, so have no idea why this is happening suddenly. I tried simply to reboot the machine, but it does not (today).

    My machine is a portable satellite. If you ve of suggestions as to how I can just get my sound back to normal (i.e. in the background, something not not to even think to, it works just as you would expect), please posting a reply. Warranty service was going to get paid for their time. I'm sure it's a very simple solution and I would appreciate greatly any help you can give me.

    Thanks yo a lot for your time in reading this.

    Hello!

    Say please use this Satellite phone you have exactly? If you look at the Toshiba site, you can see that there are a lot of Satellite phones, A market with a different hardware configuration.

    And you are using Windows XP or Vista? If you are using XP, you must install hotfixes for devices high definition Audio:

  • Satellite L300D-243 - no audio output device is installed

    Hello

    I look for a similar problem in the forum but have not found anything that's been resolved.
    I'll try to explain how my problem came.

    My sound is fine until when a few days ago I tried to lower the volume and then all of a sudden it froze.
    Came a message that his unit has stopped working.
    I restarted the laptop, but it has not started at all, nothing on the screen, just the fan runs at slow speed. I figured it by removing one of the plates of ram and then with the possible one began almost success except he was not an indication of a sound, just the message "no audio output device is installed", and an 'x' on the taskbar icon sound.

    In Device Manager it is not anything related to an audio device High Definition Audio Controller except under the menu system devices.

    So what do you think, is this a hardware or no problem and is it fixable.
    Hope someone can give me an answer.

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you read this thread:
    https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread.php?82746

    Open the Device Manager.
    Then expand the sound, video and game controllers, click on the Realtek High definition Audio choose: turn OFF, then turn ON.

    If you can not find Realtek HD audio device (this is the sound card), so I recommend you click on view and choose 'show hidden devices '. Perhaps the sound card appears in the list...

    In addition, visit the Realtek driver page and download and install the latest Realtek HD audio driver.

    Hope that it could solve the problem
