No sound on a game

I have Grand Theft Auto III on Vista. Until a few weeks ago, it was fine, then all of a sudden there was no sound on the game. I have Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and has all the audio problems. I was checking options in GTA III and there seems to be problems with the audio in the menu option, so I have no idea why this is happening.

Hi Daggio,

Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

If the problem persists, I suggest that you update the drivers for the audio device in Device Manager, follow these steps:

Click Start > type in Device Manager in the start search box > open Device Manager > expand the sound, video and game controllers > right click on the audio device > click Properties > click on the driver tab > click on update driver

Now, restart the computer and check if the problem is resolved.

You can also visit the site of the game for updates or the available fix, install them and check

If the problem persists, visit the website of the GTA game and needs to check if there are updates for this game

Hope this information is useful.
Let me know if it worked.
All the best!

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    When you start your next portable speakers test time using preinstalled Toshiba diagnostic tool and post the result here.

    What about the temperature of the laptop. 80 c is high temperature but still not critical, and if your mobile phone is placed correctly on the desktop and the cooling fans are not blocked I think you can continue to play the games.

  • Satellite P100-238: stuttering graphics and sound with the game

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought a P100-238 both for business and holiday makers with leisure activities include mainly games, I thought this would be a great opportunity to take the next level and buy something powerful with Vista on board... IM starting to think ive made a big mistake. First impressions of the laptop were great (and vista although it is a little welfare State is very good).

    The problems started when I installed a few games (Please take into account, it is a system of 4 GB with 2 gig of ram and a Geforce 7900 gs graphics card, it should theoretically be ideal). The first few games I tried was wonderful... If you stopped, but as soon as you moved (in the game) about every 3 seconds the games would stutter to stop, then start again... every 3 seconds. Okay, I need the drivers, so I jumped on nvidia and tried installing different drivers to see none to work with laptops. In fact whenever I tried to install I got the message that or the other driver is up-to-date or that I'm «not equipped for vista» Anyway to cut a long story short, I discovered www.laptopvideo2go.com when I discovered that Nvidia does not support drivers for laptops (even once cut a long and painful story short) so I used it recommended modded INF files as well as various pilots until the later. Unfortunately I still had the same problem, someone recommended it can become again the sound driver so I tried that no different.

    After further investigation on various forums, it seems im not the only person who knows these probems. On these boards, I noticed that someone had the sound and graphics too jerky and sent it for repair to have the CPU, motherboard, ram etc replaced until they found the error on the HARD drive and once replacement he was fine.

    Using this info and finally think I had put inside of it I took my laptop to the store and he was replacing, ultimately reinstalling everything and lift a game and running... guess what... still the same.
    This is totally unacceptable.
    How do you market a product as games and entertainment laptop when she's obviously serious faults preventing these activities.

    Anyone here have the solution? Also, I should mention that this problem persists when the resolution and graphic details fell to a minimum in the game.

    Thank you
    Darren

    [Edited by: admin]

    It's not a hardware problem or a laptop, but Windows Vista!
    Check out the other discussions in forum games on Vista performance with games!
    Some people have installed XP and it s running like in a dream!

    It seems that we have to wait for a first Microsoft Vista SP1 or certain patches.
    Maybe then the Vista will be more compatible with all these games on the market!

  • [SOLVED] "High Definition Audio Controller" could not be started. "No audio devices installed." The Device Manager has no controller "Sound and video game. Information system has nothing under "audio devices".

    Hello

    I've had my laptop for 2 or 3 years, and the sound was always very well. Yesterday morning my computer came suddenly with the sound with a red X icon. She was not dumb, and yet no sound came. The sound options show that no audio or recording devices are installed (for disabled AND disconnected devices). There is no 'of sound devices or video game"in Device Manager. Information system shows no information (empty) under its device. However, in Device Manager, under system devices, "High Definition Audio Controller" has a yellow caution icon and cannot start.
    I have not installed a new OS or anything recently.
    I have a Dell Inspiron 1545
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601 Build 7601)
    Pentium Dual-Core CPU
    64-bit operating system
    I tried:
    • Relocation and reactivation of "High Definition Audio Controller". I rebooted. No change.
    • Go to the Dell website, download audio drivers for my label service and installation. We decompress in the drivers folder and nothing happens. One will be unzip, try to take me by another plant for IDT Audio and then say 'the hardware found is not supported by this IDT' and is abandoned. I rebooted. No change.
    • Install drivers in safe mode. I rebooted. No change.
    • In administrative tools > Services, I found "Windows Audio". He had started and was on "auto". Six of its dependencies (3 parents, 3 children) had started and were to "automatic".
    • I looked at the system restore. There was a "critical update" this morning here. I restored to a point before update and restarted. No change.
    • Looked in the BIOS for an option on the sound, but could not find one. Restore the BIOS default and rebooted. No change.
    • Ran Microsoft Fix It I rebooted. No change.
    • By clicking on the audio task bar icon runs the diagnostic window thing. It detects a problem with the description: "material changes may not have been detected.
    • Put on the headphones. Nothing changes.
    I'll probably have to do a fresh install, am I not?
    I would be very grateful if you could help, thanks.
    Jerome

    Right, I fixed it myself.

    So I uninstalled "High Definition Audio Controller".
    But this time, instead of just turning it back on and let it install it himself, I clicked on "Analysis of the hardware changes" (under the Action). He finds that a new device called PCI something under other devices.

    Then I open up Windows Update and click on search for new updates (it also analyzes the drivers) and I think it just automatically reinstall "controller Audio high definition" and then there was no problem of yellow warning sign thing.

    If it does not, simply play in Device Manager with looking for changes on the hardware and the update of bollocks.

    If you're still stuck, try "Add inherited harware" (this will install an OLD device), click Advanced, click on "sound devices" and video games, wait a while, find a suitable device and continue the process...
