No sound in Vista after Windows auto updates

Set to automatic update ran all night. No sound afterwards. I uninstalled the driver realtek audio, downloaded the driver and reinstalled, updated the driver through Device Manager, run 2 windows related to the sound, his fix and still nothing. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly. I can adjust the volume, but it makes no difference.  I have no alerts related to sound, no red x, no yellow triangles, just NO SOUND!

Hello

And go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > looking for drivers and downloads Section > equip your laptop computer model number > find your operating system > download and install the drivers etc you will find Audio.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

'Remove an update'

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

"Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

See you soon.

  • Blue screen after windows xp update...

    I got the blue screen now well documented after windows xp update. I'm away on business and so unable to make my records at home. My question is without the disk is there a way I can fix it the laptop? Microsoft took 3 days to order discs and now tell me it might take 7 to 10 days so that they arrive. Not really customer service.

    Anyone has any ideas, is there something that you can download? or is there a fix on the Web site?

    Thank you

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  • After Windows XP update automatic, sound doesn't read correctly

    After Windows XP automatic update, I have a problem with the sound.

    A few weeks ago after an automatic update of Windows, I had problems with the sound on my laptop. I did a lot of different tests and they all seem to be fine. I have a Sony Vaio, on Windows XP SP3. Sound card is Relatek.

    Hi Surrey_1,

    1 are there no sound in Windows after installing an update?

    2 do you have sound problems when playing any kind of music file?

    See the link below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

    If the previous step fails, then check the update history to know what update has been installed recently and post back with the details.

    (a) click Start, all programs, and then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

    (b) on the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site, click view update history.

  • Crashing after Windows automatic update

    Hi, I hope someone can help me with this.

    I have Vista running in my laptop and this morning reported a number of updates pending. I leave auto update to download and install all but other than IE8, I don't know what was there as I wasn't really paying attention. After restarting Windows will not load and I get the blue screen of death on the normal or safe mode. "Use the good last setting" option does not work and crashes and just Startup Repair tool brings back me to the option to run the tool or start Windows normally.

    I can not even in windows to do something and I don't know what I'm doing with Vista, so any help is appreciated.

    Simon

    Try this:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Some keys no longer work on Satellite A200-196 after Windows 7 update

    Hi all, I've just upgraded computer laptop of my partner (a Toshiba Satellite A200-196) to Windows 7 after you initially install Windows XP on it (it came with Vista).

    After the XP update, I noticed that some keys were not working. I don't remember the process that I used to solve the problem, but the difficulty that I did, and they were all soon works perfectly. So this is a software problem and not material. I think he might have something to do with the FN key - but I can't be sure.

    Now, I just upgraded the same machine and I have exactly the same problem. Keys that don't work are Backspace, O, P, F, H, K and L.

    Can anyone help please? I tried to reinstall Win7 and the problem is still there.

    Thank you very much

    Andy

    > The keys that don't work are Backspace, O, P, F, H, K and L.

    These keys have nothing to do with the missing software.
    Indeed, the function key (FN key) needs a Toshiba utility particular installation / software to make it work, but the keys Backspace, O, P, F, H, K and L are common keys on the keyboard that don t need no special software.

    That's why I think that the problem is hardware related: simple keyboard malfunction.
    I guess that all of these keys work correctly if you sign in and use the external USB keyboard.

  • Satellite P300 (PSPCCA-03W01Y) - no microphone after Windows 7 update

    Hello

    After updating my P300 to Windows 7 (32 bit) my microphone did not work. I understand that the MIC is part of the camera, but I can't find the driver for Windows 7 32-bit update with. The camera works fine.

    There is a similar topics that allows you to download the driver directly, but after looking at the Toshiba Australia and toshiba europe sites, I have not been able to find.

    Anyone know where I can find this driver?

    Thank you.

    Hi stelth_turtle,

    You can try the 32-bit driver for Vista from Toshiba Australian page. Usually this driver also works on Windows 7 because Vista and Windows 7 are very similar, so it would be worth to try and install the 32-bit driver for Vista.

    If it doesn t work take a look for Satellite P500 drivers. On the Australian page, I saw a 32-bit Windows 7 driver for this model and I guess this should also work on your P300.

  • Printer problem after Windows XP updates on 06122013

    Title updates: Windows XP original on 06122013

    Updates of Windows XP on 06122013 seemed to make me lose contact with printer HP LJ1200 and had to perform the restoration of the system to 06112013 do work again. The printer is set up as a parallel device, running on Port DOT4_001 (according to article of Port in the properties of the printer) and was removed in the LPT1 Device Manager and computer rebooted and reloaded LPT1.
    Tracking the whole Troubleshooting MS system under properties and nothing seemed to allow printing, so I restored the machine on the eve. Now the printer works.

    Computer is a Xeon E1395 of double a ASUS PC - DL Deluxe Intel

    Everyone still faces a problem of printing with the new updates?

    Hi Michael,

    I see you got a problem with printer HP LJ1200 after installation of updates recently offered from Windows update.

    What exactly happened when you were trying to print after the recent updates? Have you received an error message?

    Thanks for the sharing of information when you perform a restore as solved the problem.

    This issue would have occurred as a result of updates related to the printer or the additional updates to the hardware device connected to the computer. Sometimes, when these problems occur after Windows update, we should always check the specific updates that have been installed right before the problem occurred. In this way, we can identify the update that caused the problem.

    As the problem does not persist now, I suggest you to download and manually install the updates individually to determine the exact cause of the problem.

    Please let us know if you need help on this question.
