notification through bad output device sounds

I just noticed that my opinion sounds (messages specifically) play in my speakers system even when they are not selected as the output device. I have currently a USB headset connected to my end 2012 27 "iMac running the latest version of El Captian and my message notifications play aloud while all other system sounds are coming in my helmet. Anyone know of a solution for this?

Thank you

  • No Audio output device is installed, no sound in Device Mangager Toshiba Satellite Vista

    I have the dreaded red X on the Volume control, "no Audio output device is installed", no. Sound Devices in device Mangager / Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7901 running Vista-32. FixIt seem to fixit, or find.

    The solutions that I have seen and tried on the Web just walk me through the first steps of the three solution and then drop out of cyberspace. I heard sound on this machine before, briefly, and then she returned to the non-cooperative State. I saw a few techno-jibberish once on the drivers are properly installed, to ensure that they are saved and enter into the registry and remove, from repair, screw up as much as you can before throwing the PC to the wall because you don't know what they speak and are to afraid to taste the risky proceedures, restore cannot help , or something.

    What happened, what is the solution of 4th or 5th person has told and Toshiba wants hundreds of dollars to diagnose, and then just says that the computer must be replaced if they are too lazy or too ignorant to investigate and solve problems or reveal the real solutions. Reinstall the correct drivers does not work, there is no folder Sound and the game in Device Manager controller. I'm tenatious.

    I also have a USB Port that Windows doesn't recognize after him malfuncitoned, why? FixIt can't find it, can't fixit. I suspect someone stuck the wrong connector on the USB port and fried something - can't rip out and replace it? I came back home, limited, vision limited, duration of limited attention, limited by the reckless lack of "Technicians" to help. I guess you are supposed to be able to pay and pay and pay for computer assistance, or die with your computer.

    I just want this computer works correctly, as long as it costs, so I can go on the problem in my life.

    Torchured!

    Hello

    Did you download the drivers directly from Toshiba for your model particulare?

    Here is a link to that.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    And there are the Toshiba Forums you can ask

    http://forums.Toshiba.com/

    Or you can backup your data and reinstall the operating system

    You don't say if you have a Vista DVD that accompanies it.

    Otherwise, you have a recovery Partition to reinstall Vista from

  • No Audio output device is installed and no "Sounds" not listed in Device Manager.

    I turned on the computer yesterday and immediately noticed the Red "x" of white/circle on the "speaker" icon. Roll the cursor over the icon gives me the message "no Audio output device installed. I have already read through the forums and tried some of the suggestions offered without result. Here's a quick deterioration of the situation. I am running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium service pack 2 on a Dell Dimension DM061 (32 bit). No updates have been downloaded and the system was not put into hibernation. I tried restoring the system without result. The Device Manager shows not yet "Sound, video and game controllers" to watch the drivers or disable them. He has not disabled or disconnected devices to display. To the best of my knowledge the soundcard is part of the motherboard with this system, so I've no idea what driver I could find. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    I was hoping that the main issue was in the BIOS but it is also why I posted links to Dell
    Support and their forums because he may be known issues with your model.

    Check this click - Device Manager - anywhere in the area in white/white - and then VIEW - chech to see the
    Hidden - devices you can locate the audio device it?

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    If necessary:

    Try an InPlace upgrade or repair Installation to see if your audio device can be reset.
    If so it would probably be a good idea to update or re - install the latest drivers.

    You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
    Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
    machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a good
    backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

    If those don't help you probably need a real computer store (leeks and pics
    at a Best Buy or other department stores) or Support of Dell.

    ---------------

    Another possibility if there is a problem with the hardware with the audio device:

    Car sound can be turned off in the BIOS and card USB sound a speedboat can be used
    that is not expensive.

    Use your favorite search engine search - sound card USB or USB its adapter.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello GaryCaceres,

    1. What is the brand and the manufacturer of your computer?

    I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.

    I also suggest that you run the Audio troubleshooter. This will allow to diagnose and automatically fix the problems of noise and acoustic:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems

    Make sure you have the latest driver for your Audio device. Visit the manufacturer's Web site and download the latest drivers for your Audio device.

    If nothing works, I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your Audio device. This will reset all of your Audio components.

    To uninstall a device with Device Manager:

    1. launch Device Manager.

    2. in the left pane of Device Manager, open the node that represents the type of device you want to uninstall, and then right click on the input of the unit.

    3. in the context menu, click on uninstall.

    4. in the dialog box confirm the device removal, click OK to start the uninstall process.

    5. when the uninstall is complete, unplug the device.

    Note: Make sure that you have the source to install the Audio drivers before installing it.

  • No sound: no audio output device is installed. no choice of audio device in Device Manager.

    I started my pc windows 7 today like any other day, and he has not played the music to start. Then I looked at the volume icon in the corner and there was a big red X on the speaker symbol. I go over it and it displays the message "no audio output device is installed". I was confused, so I went to check the Device Manager and there is no sound Devices(or whatever it is called) tab. I then restarted my computer 3 times and still have no sound. I would try a system restore, but I can't choose restore points after the first start I did this morning. My sound card is a card for the Asus M2N - SLI. Any Suggestions?

    Hi j03d03190,

    • Do you see unknown devices in Device Manager?

    Step 1

    It seems that the Audio drivers are deleted or removed from the computer. I tried to check for audio drivers for your card mother M2N SLI and could not find drivers Audio in Windows 7. However, I suggest to download the Audio from Vista drivers from the Asus site and install it and check if that helps you solve the sound problem. Access the link below and download the Audio drivers for Windows Vista and install it.

    http://support.ASUS.com/download/download.aspx

    Step 2

    You can also run Windows update on your computer and check updates and install and check it it helps you to install the audio drivers and to solve the sound problem. Access the link below and follow the steps to install Windows updates.

  • No sound from the speaker Bluetooth (paired together Win7, output device works with other devices). Help.

    Before ask you, I already read half a dozen similar positions on the speakers, Bluetooth and Windows. None of them apply.

    I received one of these portable Bluetooth speakers of tiny "MicroBoom" as a gift. I paired with my phone and it works very well.

    My BT USB adapter detects the speaker when I turn it on (reported as a "MicroBoom bluetooth helmet").

    I click right on the icon for the Volume control in the Win7 taskbar and updated as the output device bluetooth speaker. Sound-bar indicator bounce around, but the speaker produces no sound (Yes, I checked the volume on the device. Turned the wheel to Max. nothing.)

    The "MicroBoom" is listed as "Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. I tried two different cards of BT. As noted, they both detect the speaker very well.

    No idea what is wrong. Can anyone help?

    [shamelessly copy / paste from a previous post of mine]

    I solved my problem with a laptop Inspiron running 8.1 update on 8.0. That's how I got my HMDX Jam Party work via Bluetooth:

    It is not difficult to match the units;  Simply click on the Bluetooth icon and add a Bluetooth device. You should get combined.

    Now comes the weird part.

    Go to control panel - devices and printers.

    Right-click on 'Jam Party', select control.

    The dialog box opens.

    And the dialog box closes after a second or two...

    And that's what you saw almost:

    NOW you see the "Connect" button, right? Remember where it is, cause you have 1-2 seconds to click on it, until the dialog box closes.

    I have no idea why the dialog box won't stay open, but IF you can click on the button to connect, you can get your Jam Party at work.
