Windows Update uninstalled audio output? (Conexant HD)

I'm running a Pavilion DV9700 with Vista Home Premium. Windows decided to do an automatic update this afternoon and I now no sound. When I move the mouse over the tray icon, I see "No Audio output device installed. It was working perfectly before this update.

Here is what I tried (and results) and try (reason).
I can't update the driver for a device that is not installed.
I searched on hard disk for Conexant, audio, player, sound. Unable to find anything that will help you.
I thought to uninstall updates... but there are about 40 of them, and there must be a better solution.

I can not deal with no music... any advice would help.

BTW, I already said the system can perform automatic updates, but that's another debate for another day.

The update removed somehow the audio device. I tried to download and reinstall, but kept running into problems with the installation. My system did not create (first time I ever saw that) restore points, so I had nothing. I ended up restarting in safe mode and perform Windows Update setting, then reboot back into normal mode, and he's back.

  • Windows Update drastically reduces the noise on the venue pro 8

    The last windows update has audio output so low on my venue 8 pro I csn barely hear the keyboard. All the other audio is too low, and I set it all up as high as possible. I have no confidence that Microsoft will resolve this problem. Maybe Dell can lead to an update that takes care of this.

    It seems that it is a known problem. There are already other discussion forums discuss there including Microsoft... The problem occurs after you install Windows 8.1. Update 1 (KB2919355). It is already confirmed on many features including Room 8 and 11 Pro. MS has made some changes to the keyboard on the screen and re-installing the audio drivers does not help. That's what I discovered after it happened to my devices V8P and V11P.

    =============================================================

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Updates Windows leads to "no Audio output device is installed".

    Hi all
    Last night updates Windows automatically updated my laptop - I have Vista Home Premium.  If the updates downloaded, but this morning, when I restarted my laptop and installed updates, I had no noise! When I put my mouse on its little icon on my desktop, it says I have "No Audio output device installed".
    I don't know what happened or how to fix it - can anyone help.  And I can not just use the system restore, because it has been disabled, so it is not all to return to restore points.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Joseph,.
    Thanks for the information! I tried this, but it did not help - it is good though!  I posted the question in another forum and I found a solution: they sent me this link - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistahardware/thread/747a3408-95a5-4fb4-aff5-0adbef421ef3/.

    KB2887069 Windows update fails to install, even with the audio drivers and uninstalled AV.

    Background: I am setting up a pavilion of 500-164 equipped with OEM specs, specifically:

    -AMD/Radeon APU

    -Windows 8 6.2.9200

    -See sysinfo below for more details

    The PC brought to the specifications of the plant, with all Windows updates applied with the exception of KB2887069, which breaks down at the update.  With the exception of troubleshooting the failure of the update, none of the changes have been made.  The Windows KB2887069 update fails to install as well through the automated process when tried manually via a direct download.

    Additional troubleshooting measures to date include:

    -Uninstall the software OEM AV (Norton), then by restarting.

    -Temporarily disable all the features of Windows Defender.

    -Temporarily uninstall the audio driver (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC) OEM.

    -Realization of an analysis of the SFC system (with no error found).

    Results: The Windows Update full KB2887069 with a failed State and produced the following results.

    I find it peculiar that you just bought a HP computer brand new, still-in-the-box, which came with Windows 8, not 8.1, preinstalled Windows. That said, cross your fingers, roll up your sleeves and try the fix following multiple step, I cooked up just for your computer...

    ACTIONS

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline.  IMPORTANT => NO SKIP & perform all steps in one uninterrupted session!  [If a step said to restart, restart! ]

    1 right-click on the link, select SAVE TARGET as.... & download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above and select run as administrator to run the Norton utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. right-click on the following link and save the download to your desktop: ie8 - rereg.all.zip [1]

    4B. right click on the file that you saved in # 4 has & select EXTRACT ALL. This will create a new folder in Office also appointed ie8 - rereg.all. The folder contains both scripts below (plus a third that will NOT be).

    Note-online scripts are good for IE9, IE10 & IE11, too,

    5. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the task bar), open the folder created in step # 4 b above & double-click on the file named ie8 - rereg.32on64.cmd to run the script.

    5 b. Repeat this for the file named ie8 - rereg.64on64.cmd then restart.

    6. reset Internet Explorer by the MANUAL of instructions on this page-online http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

    Note => for best results, check the option Remove personal settings .

    7 run the Windows Update Troubleshooter from start to finish by the first paragraph on this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates [2]

    8. restart once more then test by launching a manual check of updates & see if KB2887069 any/all others updated and allows to install now. Follow all the instructions.

    9. assuming all went well, see if Windows 8.1 is available through the store Windows and, if so, if it will be properly installed. Still, follow all the instructions.

There is an icon in the lower right corner (next to the system clock) showing the "cross" on the speaker icon, informing me that "no audio output device is installed". I tried reinstalling the driver, but was not successful.

    Unfortunately, I don't know yet what kind of sound card on my pc has. It seems that it is integrated on the motherboard, which is an ASUS P5GD2-X. in Device Manager, it is simply listed as "device high definition audio.

    Anyone know how I can get this to work? It's really annoying not to have sound...

    Thank you for your support.

    Hi Marc,

    Thank you for visiting the Windows Vista Forums.

    Please check if the playback device is disabled. To do this, follow the steps below:

    1 Please, click Start-> Control Panel-> Sound.

    2. on the playback tab, right-click on the empty square and then click on "show disabled devices".

    3. check if your playback device is disabled. If so, right-click on it and click Activate.

    Reinstall the audio device

    =============

    1. click on start, type Device Manager, click on Device Manager to open it.

    2. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".

    3. right click on your audio device, and then click on uninstall.

    4. check "delete the driver for this device".

    5. click on OK.

    6. after that, restart the computer, the device and the driver must be reinstalled automatically.

    I suggest you install the audio driver in compatibility mode. Remove and rescan the device in the device, right click on the executable/installer file manager driver-> properties and select the Compatibility tab. Click on the box to check run this program in compatibility mode for option and select Windows XP in the drop-down list. then try to install the device driver.

    During this time, please understand that Windows 7 is a whole new operating system and driverstore has been reprogrammed; you could wait for another period of time until that the commercial version is released and push the business of the vendor to upgrade their device driver.

  • "No Audio output device is installed" after installing Windows 7

    • I installed my windows 7 64-bit today (previously used 7 ultimate, which is the first operating system, I used on this computer because it is fairly new) and after installing some things, trying to get internet work etc. I know that my sound is not working. There is a small speaker symbol with a small red circle with a white cross on it that says "no Audio output device is installed." When I go over it. Troubleshooting comes up with nothing. I tried searching forums but the suggestions I've found is came up with nothing. I tried to go into Device Manager, re-installing drivers there and display hidden devices. I have also shown disabled/disconnected devices in the menu "playback devices". I use headphones instead of speakers (because I do not have all the speakers) and while I got ultimate they worked only when it is connected to the rear. My friend computer, which helped me to set up my computer says that it was a problem with the ultimate place of my computer, do not know if this is related but thought better include it anyway. Your help is much appreciated, thank you in advance.

    I have no sound Windows 7 either. I just upgraded from XP Home to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Virgin Media freedom Netbook. Everything except playing the sounds works perfectly.

    I checked in the Device Manager. An audio device high definition is installed. There is a recording device installed also. However, no midi playback is available.

    I tried an update and uninstalled and reinstalled automatically. No joy.

    I understand that Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth V1.1.  is a software-only device for playback. It is not a hardware driver. I know that it is present on the netbook because Tuneup 2010 detected it as peripheral to read. However Windows 7 has not detected. Is there a Windows 7 compatible driver for this? If not, is a coming soon?

    PS I've restored temporarily XP from an Acronis backup image. Sound worked perfectly as before, so I know there is no hardware problems

    You will need to keep the control working drivers for the audio device. Win 7 will not play sounds without a.

    Anyone know where I can find this driver?

    Thank you

  • 'No Audio output device is enabled' updates immediately after Manual HP dv7-7010us

    HP Pavilion dv7-7010us (HP Product Page)
    Windows 7, 64-bit

    I want to install a new game on my computer and the game launcher.exe told me there's an update for my video drivers. For some reason, I can't get updated driver from HP Web site directly and not AMD (which, on a side note, is a bit confusing to me know why). After seeing how many updates are available for my computer (here), I decided to update many of them. Here is a list of the updates I have downloaded and installed.

    That said, at the end of all updates and all the restarting of the past, I boot my laptop and notice the lack of opening of a session of his. Looking at the system tray, there is, indeed, a mini icon 'X' on the volume icon. With the mouse hovering over him, he bed "no Audio output device is enabled" by clicking on it, the computer tries to set up the problem and the problem it finds is the following: "Audio device is disabled."

    That's about the extent of my knowledge of what is happening.
    Looking in the Device Manager, under "Audio, video and game controllers", there are three elements that follows:
    AMD High Definition Audio Device
    CyberLink WebCam driver virtual
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

    Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation in this area.

    List of installed updates:
    -IDT high definition (HD) Audio driver
    -AMD driver, graphics, high-definition (HD)
    -Synaptics TouchPad Driver
    -Realtek card reader driver
    -Update HP Notebook System BIOS (AMD processors)
    -Essential system updates
