No audio; possible driver issue. "There is no available mixer devices."

I can not play sounds on my computer: no CD, no mp3s, not iTunes, no system sounds, nothing. When I try to open my sound engineer (Volume control), it gives me the following error message:

"There is no mixer device. To install mixer devices, go to control panel, click Printers and other devices, and then click Add Hardware. This program will be closed. »

I tried adding hardware, uninstall and re-install my drivers, check the physical connections and power cords, restart, and ensure all relevant in services.msc is set to automatic. Nothing did. Many devices (under audio, video and game controllers) device displays Manager works not properly: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers... SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio, etc. When I check the properties of these devices, it gives the following message appears in the status of the device (general tab):

"A driver (service) for this device has been disabled.  Another driver can provide this functionality. (Code 32) »

They are activated, the only problem seems to be one or more drivers. But the update does not resolve the problem and troubleshooting of Windows doesn't help.

I worked with someone in the Bleeping Computer to remove malicious software, and we have identified a few days that my machine was clean. The tech who was helping me said the audio problem is a separate issue from malware, but I suspect that the malware could have damaged something or change my settings. I thought it might have been accidentally caused by my use of AutoRuns (a few hours before I noticed the sound problem and in the middle of the 9-day process to remove malware) to disable malicious programs which were auto-loading, but I can't find anything that looks related to the sound that is not set to automatic loading at startup.

I noticed in AutoRuns, that the aeaudio.sys driver is set to auto-charge but it says "File not found" in the Path column. I checked the system32 folder and it wasn't there at the beginning, but then I found the file in two other folders and copied in system32, yet AutoRuns still says it is not found. I tried to reboot to see if that would refresh but he says always not found. Also, I can't see how a problem with a driver (aeaudio.sys) that filters background noise (during the recording of the sounds, right?) can knock out all my audio.

I have studied this problem for days and that you can find no answer to the problem. Help, please.

Data sheet:
Windows XP SP3
Dell Dimension 4600
Card isn't his SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

msecox,

Bad news: the problem is hardware, not software. I tried to install a new sound card, but it turned out that the part of my motherboard that sound control has been fried. Also, you may want to replace the sound card before condemning the audio controller. If this fails, your best bet is to replace all of your PCs, because a new motherboard will cost almost $200 (in addition to work if you can not install it yourself).

Good luck!

    Hello

    Strange could you please check if the "Windows Audio" service has been disabled.
    Go to RUN and type "services.msc", scroll down to "Windows Audio" and make sure it is running and/or standing on "automatic".

    This service should always runs.

    You can also try to remove the sound card and after restarting again the OS notebooks should recognize the card even once.

    first of all, make sure that you have installed all the important windows updates. All the updates on your system? Ok.

    Please visit the www.realtek.com site and download the latest driver for realtek HD sound cards. This driver WORKS 100% because I had a similar problem and after I installed the authentic realtek drivers, I had no problem with the sound.

    If anyone can help?

    Hello Eugene,

    When you installed Windows 7 Pro, did you do a reformat and clean install, or have you just loaded Win 7? Part of the problem may be a residual of pirated software. I recommend a reformat and clean install if you can do it now.

    In the contrary case, the thing to look at is if there is a driver conflict between what driver is there now compared to what was there. Go to control panel | Device Manager and watch the video, sound, and game controllers section. What drivers are here for audio? And which audio driver your speakers are pointed to? The active audio driver suitable for your speakers.

    If you could answer my questions, I might be able to help you further.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    (1) I don't know so I think we should wait a few weeks or a few months more

    (2) what is the native screen resolution of your external display?
    Normally, you can change the resolution of the screen for the internal and external screen in graphics properties. Check it!

    (3) maybe, you need to activate the virtual scrolling feature in driver touchpad (Control Panel > mouse).
    What do you think about this? ;)

    (4) theoretically, you can use a dual boot with Vista and XP. Why not?
    But mind you, if you use the Toshiba recovery disc to install Vista it erases the entire HARD disk. So you first then install Vista and XP.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know.
