Hello there so i have the No audio output device is installed message from vista and need to get rid of it. Im not for sure what happened when i upgraded to windows vista ultimate from windows XP it for some reason messed up my speakers?
What brand of PC/Model do have - also, is this a notebook or Desktop. What brand of Audio card do you have installed?
In Device Manager, open the Properties of your sound device, and note what
error messages are displayed. The Properties section typically provides some
guidance as to what corrective action to take.
In addition, if all else fails, you can remove the sound card in Device
Manager, thus allowing Windows to reinstall it when you reboot. This step
often fixes problems such as you have. Post back if none of these
suggestions does anything. We'll try to devise another approach.
Alrighty then, i have a HP pavilion Slimling s7410n Desktop PC.
I dont know how to tell what sound card i have. when i open device manager, underneath Sound, video, and game controllers all that it shows is high definition audio device. when i hit properties it says this device is working properly. By the way i cant get sound period, ive used headphones and many other things.
Will it looks like me and Laur-dog are in a pickle.I tryed the Fix it thingie and it said it was fine. Erggh! I got my computer in like 2006 so its quite the old. Anything else yall want to know?
Umm so first of all is High defintion audio device a sound card? and yes i tryed all of those things. it seems my audio is hooked up right. Btw since i bought this computer 3 years ago perhaps vista doesnt support it? ive tryed downloading the new drive for it. o yeah and my sound comes from the monitor speakers.
YES! whos the man? i am so i found a quick fix. Hopefully this wil work for you lauren. I guess my drivers were out of date but downloading the update wasnt fixing it. so pretty much i went to this site: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?message.uid=81345 follow the steps he has on his secound post. and it should reinstall your audio system. worked for me.
