No Audio Device Is Installed?
Feb 8, 2011
For a while now(speaking in month terms), my sound would be working just fine. But sometimes when I put it into hibernate(for the night) and turn it back on, my speaker icon would have a red X over it. The only way this goes away is if I leave the computer off for a long time or, spam restarts(lol). What can be the problem here? My guess is that it's getting old or something.
Also, when I try to find it in the device manager, it doesn't show up. It can't even detect it either.
Also, I reinstalled the drivers yesterday, and it worked again....for another few hours. So when I retried doing that, windows update didn't detect the sound card.

I have a HTPC in my living room which since updating on the weekend now has no sound I have found similar issues and posts on various forums from searching all afternoon Sunday but none with a solution (that works for me) other than a full Windows 7 reinstall. I have a PC running onboard realtek (ASRock ConRoe 745 DVI), which was working perfectly until Service [pack one update and two other updates this Sunday. I unfortunately discovered for some reason the System Restore on this machine was set to off so that is not an option The audio symbol bottom right says there is no audio device installed, however if you look in the device manager there is the correct Realtek device installed with no exclamation mark and it is reporting as working correctly. If you right click on the red cross and click playback devices it takes you to the realtek device properties and it is set as default. (In fact if you unplug the speaker jack the PC advises you of this even though it says no audio device installed). If you click on the red cross it launches the fault detection wizard and returns "Audio Device is Disabled - Not Fixed"I have tried uninstalling the device - scanning for changes - reinstall Repeated the above but deleted the device drivers Tried a SFC scan and a Chkdsk Scan (No errors) Tried with the Microsoft default high definition audio drivers and the latest (and not latest) realtek drivers Tried disabling in the BIOS uninstalling and reinstalling after re-enabling Tried uninstalling the updates and repeating the above Tried uninstalling the service pack and repeating the above Finally unenabled the onboard card and installed a PCI soundblaster Audigy - Same problem?

I'm pretty sure you guys have seen this before; sound icon with a little x over it. I'm posting 2 pictures up to, maybe, give you guys an idea of what the issue can be.Additional information: the laptop at hand tries to install new drivers but fails everytime. No idea why. It tries to install a bluetooth driver.

I've been searching on Google for the last three and a half hours for a solution but came up with nothing, so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone can tell me what's up. I turned on my laptop today to find that there was a little red 'x' over the audio symbol, and upon further inspection it turned out that there was no audio driver installed. I wasn't very bothered about it at first, because after a Windows update once I had to reinstall it, and everything ran smoothly from there because I just reinstalled the driver which originally came with the laptop. Now, this is the problem. I tried installing the driver, and the installation seemed to go fine, I was prompted to restart, did so, but when I logged in after the reboot, I was still getting the "No Audio Output Device Is Installed" error. I searched around, tried a different Realtek HD driver. Same result. Tried again with a different driver, no luck. Wax on, wax off. I can't figure out why it's happening, but maybe someone here can?

I have Windows 7 32bit OS on my comp, few days ago i bought new headphones, steel series siberia v2 USB 7.1(51103), they didn't work in my computer, but they did in other pc, that I have, actually in 3 others. The problem was same as here "No Audio Output Device is Installed" but only with the USB PnP audio device, my onboard sound card worked fine. I need to disable my onboard card to enable any external card. (I think I also uninstalled drivers to my Onboard card). I did that, still didn't worked. So I enabled Onboard audio device (and installed drivers) in Bios and now I got the problem with onboard card as with headphones.
I tried to reinstall/uninstall to allow windows to find drivers, I tried a lot of different ones, don't think drivers are the case, cause its not working for any of 3 cards, even they have diffrent drivers, little chance to have 3 models with wrong drivers as newest, I tried even downloading drivers for other motherboard, because someone said it worked for them QQ. My Windows Audio service is enabled. I tried restarting Bios. Tried even plugging PCI sound card, same problem.

When I hover my mouse over the speaker icon, "no audio output device is installed" appears. I still have sound. There's a red X in along with the speaker icon. When I troubleshoot, it fails and has error 0x8000FFFF. My sound card and microphone stuff are there when I check the devices, and they work. I still can adjust volume with my keyboard, but it starts the troubleshooter when I click the speaker

I recently installed a new graphics card and upon turning my computer on (Win7 x64), the sound doesn't work. The sound icon has a red 'x' over it and it says "no audio device is installed". In 'Device Manager', the drivers are installed and without incident.

English is not my first language so I'm not familiar with the Computer Science vocabulary. I've had a Pavilion dv9700, Model # dv9819wm, for approximately 2 years. My hard drive failed and the guys at my school were able to recover 60 GB of files but most of them don't have an ordinary format. They are just saved on a folder on my desktop. They installed Windows 7, (It was Windows Vista before the failure) and I've been having problems with the coprocessor and "ethernet" drivers. Yesterday I uninstalled the "ethernet" driver and when my laptop rebooted the audio driver was nowhere, (obviously I have no audio), which was surprising since that was not the one I uninstalled. My Sound device is not shown on Device Manager either. I uploaded some applications that identify missing drivers and apparently the sound driver is the newest one available. I got on BIOS and the sound button was enabled. I went to HP's website and the only audio drivers offered for my laptop model were for OS Vista. When I try to automatically install the driver from another HP application it says something like my "Compatibility..." is not permitting a correct installation. First, what is going on? and is there any way I can get my pictures and videos from those 60 GB into a normal

My 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.

I was instructed to remove the stdriver64.sys from my system as it was causing crashes. Well after I've done so the audio device refuses to work I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall my Realktek High Definition device a few times, but it still refuses to work. I have to system restore to get stdriver64 back on my system which is the only way I have sound, but it crashes if I do.

I don't have any sound in my pc, there's a red cross on the volume symbol that says "No audio device installed", in device manager it doesnt appear any audio devices, I already downloaded the latest drivers from Asus but when I run it it says "No hardware detected", i already saw some threads in here with the same problem but couldnt find a solution. My motherboard is a Asus MAximus Formula and the audio is a Supreme FX II. I already tried to upgrade windows 7 with no results.

I've been asked to take a look at my mother's laptop. A 10lb medicine ball fell/rolled onto the keyboard. The computer in question is an ASUS G72G laptop running Windows 7 Home 64bit. The sound symbol in the task bar has a red, circular X mark on it and says "No Audio Output Device Installed". I've tried downloading and installing the audio driver from this site but it tells me that this version of Windows is not supported, though I know for certain that this version of windows matches the driver listed:f anyone has an idea as to the underlying cause of this problem, I'd very happy to hear it. I know it seems like a hardware problem, but I'm wondering if it could have hit any function keys or something to disable the sound, as I've been told that some sort of message popped up immediately about the mouse or something, but I wasn't there and don't really know exactly what it said
