I have searched the net for more than 1 month!
Couldn't find anything that would help... So do not flame please I know there are topics like this but a bit differrent.
So... I got this problem once, got rid of it by uninstalling my audio device (Realtek HD Audio), after restart it was found automatically on logon and re-installed.
Had no problems with it for a few monts, but got it again...
Wanted to do the same thing, but when I got to control panel there was no Sound and Video Controller suboption in it...
So I started looking for clues, but everybody has the problem I had before and got rid of it easy as I did.
The sound was 95% of the time off and sometimes it appearred (On computer start). It freaks me off really, lol!
So, I start my computer and have a speaker with a red X mark on it and it writes ''No audio output device is installed''.
Dunno what to do... Tried to reinstall the driver several times - not working...
I guess my sound card is the problem?
