• No Audio device in the audio device properties

  Problem Audio XP

  Here you have a sound problem.  When I open the sounds and Audio Devices Properties on the volume tab, it says "No. Audio Device" and the Volume of the device is grayed out.  I made sure all the drivers were updated to the title of his in the Device Manager.  Note also should not be the sound card since I was able to get clear audio when I boot Ubuntu (dual boot machine).  In addition, under Startup audio component services\services\windows type is set to automatic.  Does anyone have an idea on what setting I'm missing?

  Hi Karl,
  I had an experience with the audio device that all drivers are loaded correctly. Finally, after loading the audio Framework, device package is started.
  Thus,.

  Have you checked the manufacturer as some fixes (may be required) to load to your portable audio device for that matter.

• My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

  My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

  Hello

  You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

  If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  See you soon.

• bottleneck of apparent control "sounds and audio device properties | audio tab | sound

  Lately, this becomes a little more than one gene, to the point where it seems there are already some solution out there : I often want to spend (internet radio or mp3s) music that I send now based Creative Media USB "broadcasting" (home use - audio send anywhere where I could want him in my house)-for a random downloaded video programming.  Video noise must never be sent to the speakers of my monitor-entertainment (although I wouldn't mind if that sound signal should also go through the creative system to other points in the House.)  But it's scary, sometimes I have to play music, to turn on the monitor and sauté with the music of great volume until I can mute or mute the volume.  But it is never necessary for my music be routed to the monitor.

  I drive the monitor via a HDMI cable and adapters changed just after the last of them went wrong, so the new audio software NVIDIA can get complicated this unduly now.  But it seems that the only way for me to join the audio track from any video source given the monitor is to go through the tedious process to navigate to the audio tab and then change the default devices of the Creative device to the NVIDIA device.  If I have already started the video until I realize that I am still set up for music, I have to leave the VCR and the restart before it will route the audio through the HDMI.

  Then of course if I want to stop watching the video source and go back to something with music as a background, I must reverse this procedure as a whole.

  More complicated still is the panic that can ensue when I receive a Skype call - it can be quite EXPLOSION on the monitor speakers.  These levels seem to chronically inadequate because I assume that they share the same slider control as something else (it's still too low volume without be turned up to 11) and are not put to level automatically, or something like that...

  Certainly I'm not the only one annoyed by these audio problems.  What are the solutions are there for these problems?  I would like to be able to choose speakers, based on sources: mp3s and other audio-only stuff would be default to the Creative device, while avi and other video stuff would be only of course exit by default for the NVIDIA card.  Seems kind of obvious... but it does not work like that?

  Hi 808pants,

  You can try to change the settings for the audio mixer Panel to help relieve this problem:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/adjust-the-sound-level-on-your-computer

  In addition, most programs can be configured to use a specific audio adapter. In the case of Skype, you can check the following link to set up Skype:

  http://www.Skype.com/help/guides/soundsetup_vista.HTML#4

  Note: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Unless the program is designed to specify the audio adapter, the only way that you can choose where will the audio is by setting the audio adapter by default.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Configure button disabled on the playback device, manage audio devices. How can I reactivate the button Configure?

  Hi, following an automatic update of Windows Vista 64-bit I have no sound. Thank you for that.   I had a similar problem before, the sound quality has been reduced to a rate lower than 16 bit 44.1 k.  I've changed this before clicking on the button configure on the playback device, manage audio devices.  But now, this button is disabled and I can't check the set up or make changes.  I am logged in as an administrator user, how to re - activate the button set up?

  Thank you

• No sound tried all the options!

  I have a laptop dell Inspiron running Windows 7.
  I have no sound from the speakers to the computer (in the last 5 weeks), but if I plug my HDMI in I get sound through the TV. I searched the internet trying to find drivers/fixes. I searched on the site of sky and Earth to find the answer for about 3 weeks now. Anyone have any ideas before go me crazy. I already checked the control panel for a "sound card" nothing shows up I don't think I a. Fix it with the Microsoft Download.

  When I ran the audio program fix he says 'no audio devices installed.
  Then I ran Microsoft repair and now it says "unidentified problem."

  Which shows in Device Manager?  Type device manager in the text box above the start planet.  Select Device Manager.  Under the sound element, which is indicated?

  I agree with TDragonkirs, it is probably a hardware failure.  If it is under warranty, Dell should fix it.  If this isn't the case, I suggest you just buy yourself one of these mini tiny speakers, who works with a USB port.
