Sound: output device not showing

With El Capitan, I have only the sound preferences in safemode, but no device output doesn't appear so I have no sound. In normal mode, it shows no sound preferences dialog box. Help?

Hello BrianM8614,

I understand that you see more sound in system preferences preferences window unless you start your Mac in safe mode. Fortunately your Mac SMC and NVRAM reset can help restore your ability to recognize its speakers and produce audio once again.

    Hello

    I went to use my audio recently and the volume seems to no longer work. I tried troubleshooting etc with no luck.

    When you look under the playback devices, "no audio device is installed", it's what you see.

    I have also pressed the logo keys windows + X, the device selected and then on extended Manager Device Manager ' audio, video game "and there is a yellow exclamation beside Intel ESS Audio Device (WDM).

    Model: SW5 - 012

    Please help me. Thank you!

    ESS audio device right click and choose to uninstall, do uninstall the software, if requested, then restart and check if the yellow exclamation point is still there.

    If so... download it and install it:

  • Devices not showing upward in Device Manager after installing Windows XP


    I realized my mistake.

    When I downloaded the drivers of Lenovo, I saw that they were .exe files and assumed that their execution would be * install * drivers.  It turns out that run these just .exe files * excerpts * drivers.  Research in the subdirectories where they are extracted, I found setup.exe or similar files.  Operation these actually installs the drivers.

    Ridicule me.

    Sorry to bother with my original post.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Cannot install the drivers for sound card and audio device is no longer visible or detected in the vista Device Manager. Tried Realtek drivers toshiba download and disk but still no sound or device after reboot.

    its my dads specifications and he says its just stopped working. When I checked initially, the audio device was reported as driver problem in Device Manager. Remove and try to update the driver, no audio device is no longer only show.

    is it possible that the audio device of the motherboard is loose or defective? Toshiba provides software diagnostic tools to check equipment?

    UPDATE:

    I looked through the windows event logs and discovered several error messages indicating that the PNP device to realtek sound was unexpectedly disconnected.
    don't know if this is due to problem hardware or driver updates.

    My Apple TV is only to play a sound on my iPad but will not show the film?

    Welcome to the Jennifer Apple community.

    Some content providers don't block the video portion working with AirPlay, have you checked to see if AirPlay is supported by this provider.

    If it is supported

    these steps, check to see if things work after each step if necessary, before you try the next.

    1. Check AirPlay is on the Apple TV (turn market if it already is)
    2. Check that both devices are on the same network (settings > Wifi on the mobile device and the settings > General > network, on the Apple TV).
    3. Restart the Apple TV (settings > general > restart).
    4. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL cables for 30 seconds.
    5. Restart your router. (Also try to remove the power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    6. Restart your mobile device.

    If you're still having problems, the following article can help you.
