No Audio Device - Won't Play
Oct 2, 2009
I am using a Sony Vaio Model PCG- 7X2L and it won't play any sounds. There is no volume control on the task bar, so I went to Sounds and Audio Devices and it says there is no audio device. When lookng at the Device Manager, this is what is listed under Sound, video, and game controllers:
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Video Codecs
I don't see anything that says Realtek, SoundMax, or any other similar devices. What do I need to download in order to have sound play on my laptop?

2.No issue with sony cd-DVD device. it is been tested and played on other system.
3.Media used is OK as it was able to play audio earlier
4.Codec was updated

I had some trouble last night and today with getting rid of a virus. Now that it is gone, I am having sound problems (maybe related, maybe not). This morning, when I opened iTunes I got a message that there was no audio device detected. After trying several things, I rebooted. Magically, I could play music again. However, a short while later, I again got an error message telling me that there is no audio device found, even though it shows up in Device Manager as working properly. The problem goes away for a short time after I reboot, but returns. It is Realtek AC 97. Why won't my computer keep recognizing it? (It tried going to Realtek's site to download an update. It has updates for Windows 98, 95, etc., but not for XP. Or at least I couldn't find it.)

Recently when I play a dvd on my pc the audio is jumpy and cracks, but if I drag the the time line bar back a few seconds the audio will be fine for the scene I just watched. this happens in all media players that I have used. So far I have tried to Roll back and update my drivers, checked all my audio levels, I made sure my DirectX sound was on full acceleration, and I have DMA enabled. One thing I just thought of while typing this is, I use Daemon tools to mount my all my games could this be causing a problem?

I make a DVD with PCM audio and it stutters and stops in my computer (any software player I try). It will play just fine in other computers and set-top players. Then, I make a DVD with Dolby Digital Audio and it plays fine on my omputer and everywhere else. Why won't my computer play the PCM audio DVD? I have the latest drivers for everything, a HT P4 3.4ghz with Creative Audigy ZS2 sound card and ATI X800 video. Top stuff, right? My codecs are current and I'm running XP SP1

I have a problem with audio, every once in a while I try to play an audio file and it just goes fastforward and doesn't play, sometimes it just gets stuck after 2 seconds.I tried to check my audio card (phonic firefly 302) and it's fine, I think the problem is with the controller or something Whenever I restart my computer/the audio card the problem is solved, but it keeps on happening.

I'm not sure if there are previous threads on this, but I accidentally deleted my sound by deleting the program realtek audio.All I remember is the name realtek, and I am not sure what to install.I've already installed realtek ac '97 audio 3.99 and it shows up in the device manager, but the sound still says 'no audio device.I have a Windows XP SP2.Please let me know what I can do.Oh, and i've tried to uninstall it from the device manager, but it won't let me. My computer just freezes.

WinXP with service pack 3 - has decided, overnight, that I have no audio device installed. I have checked under device manager and Creative Labs seems to be working. Have tried to update drivers but all drivers current. Have I got something configured wrongly?

the audio on my computer has recently stopped. I am running an AMD 64 3000 with WINXP SP3, and have an Asus A8N-E MB using onboard audio. I have tried re-installing the nvidia nforce audio drivers, but they still do not appear in the device manager. Under sound, video, and game controllers in device manager, I have:
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Logitech Microphone
Media Control Devices
MPU-410 Compatible MIDI Device
Standard Game Port
Video Codecs
In control panel under sounds and audio devices, it says I have no audio device, and that there are no playback devices. When I try to play a song in RealPlayer, it says "cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it." Could an overheated chipset cause only the sound to malfunction? My chipset fan recently failed and I was running without it for a little while.

After going through many trials, tribulations, and attempts to fix my computer, i was left with only one option, to fully restore it back to factory settings. i thought this would cleanse all of my problems. now i have no sound. i have tried running services.msc and windows audio is correctly enabled. it is likely to be a missing sound driver, but i have no clue how to determine where i can get this said driver. i think it is important to note that it appears that none of my usb ports in the front or back of my computer are active.

I have a USB to SPDIF converter that is supposed to support 5.1 surround. I can hear stereo sound, but not 5.1 surround. I know there are many free tools that enable passthrough on spdif so the receiver does the dedcoding instead of the PC. However windows XP doesn't see the USB audio device as SPDIF is there a way to configure the USB audio device as SPDIF without drivers?

I am still having a recurring problem with my Realtek Audio Device. This is not a new installation and no other new hardware has been installed on the computer (Win Xp Home, SP2). No conflicts are shown. I fear that some files may have become corrupted but this is one behaviour which constantly recurs - maybe someone has a fix or knows what files I need to replace.When I start up the computer, there is no volume icon, no sound and device manager shows the audio device as unable to start, code 10. All the codecs etc other things under sounds are OK.If I choose to uninstall it, then run add hardware wizard, it will reinstall it no problems and the sound comes back. But next boot up it's gone again.In case of not having read previous post, I suspect some corruption occurred when I had to cold shutdown my computer.
I obviously have the correct drivers on the computer & can load them through hardware wizard - I just don't know why they don't stick on shutdown - it's as if the function which registers the entry in the register is corrupt - I know there are certain files which can be installed or uninstalled from the registry in order to start or stop a service.is it something like this I need to do?

I installed all the Windows updates and loaded the drivers off the utility disk that came with the motherboard. I also got the updates from the GIGABYTE website. The utility app shows all drivers are installed correctly. It took me a couple of days to get audio to work because the initial driver load got corrupted somehow and it wouldn't let me reinstall until I deleted the driver's entry in the registry. After that I was prompted for the driver again and it installed fine and sound finally started working. Everything appears to be working and there is only the one Unknown driver in my Device Properties and it's really irking me. All my drivers were installed correctly in my previous installation

I recently found an old Gateway desktop in my basement. It is from a few years back, but I figured I'd do a clean install of Windows XP on it and run it in an extra room.I copied the drivers over using a program called DriverMax, and it seemed to work successfully. I had the internet right away and everything else I tried worked. The only problem I am having is that there is no sound. It also says there is no audio device found. Device Manager says I have the most up to date Legacy Audio Drivers, but I am still having this problem.Is there another driver that I might need in order for my computer to recognize an audio device.

I don't have sound and haven't for the past few days and then this morning a Found New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up trying to install software for an Unknown Device on High Definition Audio Bus.In the Device Manager, there are yellow question marks near Other Devices and then below it, in sub categories is a list of at least 20 (!) Unknown Device on High Definition Audio Bus.In the Audio Device section, there are NO Playback Devices, NO Recording Devices, No Midi Playback and the same in the Voice section. Usually I have Realtek listed there.

I have a Toshiba laptop M115-S3094 Satellite with Windows Media It's less than a year old.In the beginning it ran great. Now I can't get any audio. I tried the Fan in Comcast, it plays the videos, but no sound. I tried a DVD. No sound. I ran the troubleshooter. No help. No music in Windows Media Player either.There are so many devices on this laptop. I do get the sound when windows opens and closes. I have had sound on the Fan video clips and Windows Media Center in the past. I recently completed the Window authenticity.

My computer has recently started playing the System Notification sound that is defined as Windows XP Balloon.wav in the Sounds and Audio Device Properties at seemingly random intervels, and I cannot seem to find out what application is triggering the playing of this sound. I am sure it is this sound specifically as I changed it up and the change was reflected in the sound that was playing. I have also been checking the event viewer under Administrative tools and haven't noticed any events that correspond with the issue at hand. It's slowly driving me crazy! I have heard a ton of good stuff about your forums and thought I would give it a try.

I decided to launched a game, and realised there was no audio. I tried to bring up Volume Control from the system tray, and was greeted with the error "The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit." Didn't sound good. BTW, this was while using my Creative SoundBlaster Audigy SE card.The next thing I tried to do was to connect speakers to the integrated card and see if that worked.
I then went all out and uninstalled the Creative and Soundmax drivers and utilities completely, rebooted, and installed them both again afresh between reboots. Still no luck: Same errors. I also tried switching the PCI slot for the audio card as the previous slot was directly underneath the graphics card, but this didn't do the job.
