No audio output device (windows 7)

Hello

I've just updated from xp to windows 7 (rtm) and some trouble around my sound card. There is an icon in the lower right corner (next to the system clock) showing the "cross" on the speaker icon, informing me that "no audio output device is installed". I tried reinstalling the driver, but was not successful.

Unfortunately, I don't know yet what kind of sound card on my pc has. It seems that it is integrated on the motherboard, which is an ASUS P5GD2-X. in Device Manager, it is simply listed as "device high definition audio.

Anyone know how I can get this to work? It's really annoying not to have sound...

Thank you for your support.

Hi Marc,

Thank you for visiting the Windows Vista Forums.

Please check if the playback device is disabled. To do this, follow the steps below:

1 Please, click Start-> Control Panel-> Sound.

2. on the playback tab, right-click on the empty square and then click on "show disabled devices".

3. check if your playback device is disabled. If so, right-click on it and click Activate.

Reinstall the audio device

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

1. click on start, type Device Manager, click on Device Manager to open it.

2. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".

3. right click on your audio device, and then click on uninstall.

4. check "delete the driver for this device".

5. click on OK.

6. after that, restart the computer, the device and the driver must be reinstalled automatically.

I suggest you install the audio driver in compatibility mode. Remove and rescan the device in the device, right click on the executable/installer file manager driver-> properties and select the Compatibility tab. Click on the box to check run this program in compatibility mode for option and select Windows XP in the drop-down list. then try to install the device driver.

During this time, please understand that Windows 7 is a whole new operating system and driverstore has been reprogrammed; you could wait for another period of time until that the commercial version is released and push the business of the vendor to upgrade their device driver.

Please go through the link below.

  • No Audio output device is installed (Windows 10 64 bit, HP Pavilion 500 series)

    Model number: 500-007 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.

  • Updates Windows leads to "no Audio output device is installed".

    Hi all
    Last night updates Windows automatically updated my laptop - I have Vista Home Premium.  If the updates downloaded, but this morning, when I restarted my laptop and installed updates, I had no noise! When I put my mouse on its little icon on my desktop, it says I have "No Audio output device installed".
    I don't know what happened or how to fix it - can anyone help.  And I can not just use the system restore, because it has been disabled, so it is not all to return to restore points.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Joseph,.

  • "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.

  • Computer desktop Fujitsu Siemens, no audio output device installed after upgrading to Windows 7

    I have a Fujitsu Siemens computer that was running Windows XP. I put it to update to Windows 7 and it seems to be a problem to find a compatible sound card driver. He was previously SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio.

    The speaker at the bottom of desktop icon has a red x on it and when I hover over with the mouse, he said, "no audio output device is installed".

    Device Manager displays "Multimedia Audio Controller" under "other devices" but said that no driver files have been loaded.

    It seems that the driver has been deleted and I can't find a compatible replacement.

    Help, please! I tried to watch countless blogs where people seem to have similar problems but none of the answers seem to work.

    Thank you.

    Re-post giving the name/model/REF. n ° of your PC.

    If there is no specific driver for W7, then you can try to install Vista drtivers (if they exist) in compatibility mode (no guarantee it works well).

    See you soon,.

    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.

    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.
    Look in the event viewer for errors.
