View 10 Replies View RelatedChange Audio Playback Device?
Apr 30, 2012there is a better way to change my audio playback device in Windows 7 (Ultimate, Service Pack 1, 64 bit). As background, I keep my headset plugged in at all times and swap to it when needed, but like to use my speakers most of the time.
The only way I've found to swap between headphones and speakers is to right click the volume button on my taskbar, open "Playback devices", select my headset (listed as "Speakers, Realtek High Definition Audio"), then click "Set Default".
Aside from feeling rather tedious, the swap is not recognized in nearly all programs if they're already active. In other words, if I boot up a program with my speakers set to default, swapping to headphones via the above process will not change the audio output device for that program until I quit it completely, set the new default, the restart the program.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAudio Device Is Disabled - No Sound At All
Jul 25, 2010I'm on the verge of re-installing Windows. It started earlier today, I'd just installed Call of Duty: World at War off Steam, tried to launch it and it kept crashing. Tried a few things, but nothing worked and read it might be a sound driver issue. Tried updating my ASUS Xonar DX drivers to the latest version, but once the PC had restarted I had no sound and a the speaker on the taskbar said there's no output device installed.
Uninstalled these drivers and tried installing the ones I was using and same problem. I opened up playback devices and the default speakers were my monitor as I connect via HDMI from my graphic card to my main monitor. The "set default" option was greyed out and I couldn't change the default speakers unless I disabled the HDMI audio, but still I had no sound. Tried uninstalling the graphic drivers and re-installing the drivers first, but still nothing. Even when the only audio device was the sound card, there was no sound.
If I troubleshoot, it says the audio device is disabled, even though it isn't. I've checked all the audio services and they're all running. I even tried enabling my onboard audio again, but I still get the same problem of the audio device apparently being disabled. I ran an sfc /scannow, and that fixed a few things, but still no audio. Only thing I can think of doing now is just re-installing Windows.
Error 1084 - No Audio Playback Device Installed
Nov 10, 2010My comp is having some audio problems. Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. It says i have no audio playback device installed? One or more audio service isn't running? Both the windows audio and the windows audio end point builder services must be running for audio to work correctly. At least one of these services isn't running? It says I dont have a playback device installed?
No devices displayed when I open playback devices.? How do I get a device or install a driver to fix the problem. In services both windows audio and windows audio endpoint aren't started. When I turn on windows audio i get error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start. When I turn on windows audio endpoint builder I get error 1084: this service cannot be started in safe mode sound doesn't work no audio at all. I don't have a restore point. I can only boot up in safe mode with networking.
Audio Device Disabled (tried All Normal Approaches)
Nov 16, 2011well a while back my system (specs below) had a windows update when I went to bed, upon my return my PC booted up with no sound avaliable. i.e. in my task tray the speaker has a red X and displays "No Speakers or Headphones are plugged in" - they are definately plugged in. I did try to use a restore point straight away and it failed telling me the restore point was corrupted (or somthing to that effect). [code] If i try to get it solved by scanning it tells me that my Audio device is disabled, whether I tell it to test the rear/front panel/or USB.I have searched far and wide to get this issue resolved and I've seen that there is a lot of info on this, but my issue seems to be slightly different and nothing ive tried works.If i Look under playback devices nothing is missing (Ive enabled "Show hidden"), and if i switch where my speakers are plugged in the window recognises that and displays which it is plugged into.In Device manager there are no errors displayed, and I have tried uninstalling/updating/and disableing then re-enabling all different sound devices. Thinking that my sound on the motherboard may have died (SounMax) I added the USB sound device to test. This device installed fine and shows it is avaliable but it will still not give any sound. The speaker icon in the task tray still tells me that no spekers etc. are plugged in and if prompted it will say "audio device is disabled".

Aug 24, 2009I downloaded the RC over the summer to try it out, alongside linux mint. I like it so much that I've decided to abandon the linux distro for now and let Windows 7 take over my whole hard drive. The one thing remaining before falling in love is the lack of standby mode. The sleep function is grayed out in the start menu, so I can't even put it to sleep. This is annoying because I'm using a laptop at school, which I would like to put on standby (instead of hibernating) between classes. This is a 100% fresh install. It was the first thing I tried once the install finished, because I had trouble with the previous Windows 7 install.

Multiple Audio Playback Setup
Oct 30, 2009I currently have a dual screen setup, the primary a computer monitor and the secondary an HDTV hooked up via HDMI cable. Accordingly I have 2 sound setups; a set of speakers at my desk and the other is the TV's speakers.
The problem is most programs have no option to choose the audio playback device. Everything goes to the default in Windows, so I have to manually change it every time to either the TV or the speakers. I only really use the HDTV to watch videos and want only the sound from that specific program to play on the TV, and everything else on my desk speakers.
I had a workaround to this in Vista. By setting the default audio device to the HDTV Windows would automatically switch the audio output to the speakers when disabling the secondary monitor which could be done easily with UltraMon. Windows 7 audio playback doesn't seem to detect this change so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a solution or workaround.

Windows 7 Update Disabled Audio?
Feb 23, 2012Error message: "No Audio Output Device is installed"
Windows 7 was working fine but then after one of its automatic updates the sound stopped working on the system.(i.e. Red "X" on speaker icon) I have tried enabling the audio in normal, mode safe mode. The driver is up to date and I have even tried re-installing it.
System restore provided a temporary fix as after one normal use of the PC windows will re-disable the audio. (and yes I disabled auto updates....windows still manages to disable the audio)
I had the PC sent out under Manufactures Warranty to try to resolve the issue, but as the warranty only covers physical damage to the system all the service center was able to do was confirm that it was a software problem (they checked the hardware and found it to be working properly).
So I have determined that the audio is solely software related and that it must be disabled deep in the system as the usual enable/disable buttons have no effect.
Audio Playback Stuttering When High Internet Usage?
Dec 27, 2012First of all, my config:
CPU: Intel pentium dual core e5400 2.7Ghz
GFX: Sapphire HD 6670 1GB gddr5
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-G41M combo (Award Modular bios v6.00 PG)
HDD: WD Caviar Green 1TB (EARX)
Network adapter: Atheros AR8151 PCI-E gigabit ethernet controller (NDIS 6.20)
I am experiencing audio playback stuttering. I checked if this is due to processing or ram usage, but nothing was wrong there as audio was playing well under high processing load and high memory usage. But recently, i found that when i browse internet or download something, it starts to lag. I am using winamp 5.63. I came to know that a few other people are experiencing this problem too, but i didnt find any solution.
Bluetooth Headset Pairs But Won't Connect, Not Avail As Playback Device
Dec 3, 2010My setup:
Windows 7 64bit Prof (on a suped up PC)
Asus BT211 - BT 2.1 + EDR (full A2DP support with latest Windows 7 64bit drivers - Broadcom Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR driver version 6.3.5.430 (4/8/10)
Sony DR-BT101 Headphones - (Microsoft says they're compatible)
PROBLEM:All BT devices successfully installed and appear to be working. I can even find the A2DP device if I show all hidden devices in Device Manager. The headset pairs with no problems, Remote, Headset, Handsfree Telephony, and Audio Sink Services are available under device properties. However, non of the headphone services are available under "Playback Devices" or "Recording Devices".When I right-click on the Bluetooth system tray icon and select "Open Settings" then click on the "Audio" tab I can see all of the active services from my headset. All services show "disconnected" below them. When I right-click on a service (with the headphones on and in connectible mode - steady flashing blue) I can select "Connect" (the only place in Windows 7 I've found the connect function). When I try to connect, it shows "Connecting" for a minute or two then goes back to "Disconnected". The headset never appears to respond.SO... basically it appears everything should be working, but for some reason it isn't. I can PAIR but I can't CONNECT. I can install services but I can't actually use any of them.
I've tried everything, there must be something I'm missing. Others have said they got these headphones working with Windows 7, many have also had problems not just with these headphones, but a whole range of BT devices and connecting to Windows 7.I also have a Logitech BT MX5000 keyboard and mouse combo and they work fine.... well, when they're not lagging out or dropping out, they work fine.
