Audio Device icon in My Computer win

Hi everyone!
I installed my mp3 player Zen Touch 20GB in my new laptop. I followed the installation instructions from Creative (insert the CD, install the programs and connect the player). A nomad explorer icon was added to My Computer window. The mp3 player seems to work very well.
A Creative Zen Touch icon (like the old Nomad jukebox) also appears under a group called audio devices in "My computer" window. The problem is the My computer window becomes very slow while refresh and add this item everytime I connect the palyer. This icon does not appear in my old laptop.
I think Windows adds its own drivers for the Zen Touch.
Is there a way to remove the icon and make windows does not search for it's Or is it normal?
ThanksMario Uribe

Where were you expecting to see the icon? And please state your operating system - it can make quite a difference to any answer.

Windows 7 x64 USB AUDIO DEVICE - Device Not Working - Mac Pro

I have a mac pro early 2009. I had vista x64 installed, everything was great. I had 2 audio devices under device manager, one was listed as HD (digital) and one device was listed as analog audio.
When I played games and wanted the external speakers (using the digital out connection) I had the HD (digital) audio device enabled.
When I played games and wanted to use a headphone/microphone combo, I had the analog audio device enabled.
Switching between the two was as easy as clicking the audio device icon and clicking on whichever device I wanted.
Now that I installed windows 7 x64, I have a HD (optical out) device in device manager and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, I also have another device listed called "USB Audio Device" and it shows a yellow exclamation mark next to it and it is NOT working properly.
I tried many suggestions on here, which included downloading the cirrus logic audio driver and picking different models, as well as trying the snow leopard install disk driver for cirrus logic, and even tried installing the realtek analog driver. The closest I got to getting anything to work was installing the realtek analog driver. It installed fine up to the point when windows said "this driver is not tested, do you wish to install it anyway?" and I click yes, but then it pauses for a few seconds and the same message comes up again and repeats in a endless loop until you say "no, do not install driver" and then it does a uninstall of the driver.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so were you able to fix it?
Thanks

I found Gigabyte has links to latest updates which work fine.
Treat Mac Pro as just a dual Xeon PC.

Realtek High Definition Audio for Vista\Win 7 2.54
2010-11-05
Realtek HD Audio Windows 7
Or from Realtek which is http://218.210.127.131/
http://www.realtek-driver.com/
Guru3D is also a popular site for drivers.
http://downloads.guru3d.com/Realtek-HD-Audio-2.51_d2598.html
You can ignore USB audio, you want RealTek HD Audio. There are or can be some of those yellow alerts that are safe to ignore. Buried somewhere in Apple Support BootCamp technotes.
You can use installer from Realtek or zip file in which case just uncompress and update the driver from inside Device Manager. Nice thing, you can rollback a driver if you want to, or totally uninstall and then reinstall.

Problems with sound drivers - audio device on high definition audio bus

i turned on my computer one day and the sound was gone. no "speaker" icon in the lower right-hand corner of the screen; no choices available via the "control panel: sounds and audio devices" icon. when i went to device manager, i saw "audio device on high definition audio bus" had a yellow exclamation mark. i saw some sites suggested downloading the realtek high definition audio, but that didn't seem to work -- and now i don't see the audio device on high definition audio line either.
any ideas? from what i've read, i gather this is a somewhat common problem but no solid way to fix this. i know something similar has happened to me a year ago but i was able to fix it somehow.
Solved!

Hello,
Have you tried installing the latest audio device drivers for your ThinkPad? If so, did that solve the problem?

Mini and osx no longer recognizing firewire audio device

i have an m-audio firewire solo hooked up to my mini, which is just a simple firewire instrument interface. i went to bed last night and everything was working fine. woke up this morning and the sounds is now coming from the internal speak, not my stereo. nothing is wrong with the firewire port because its still lighting up and running, but osx is telling me there is no m-audio device connected to the computer. i tried to reinstall the software but that did nothing. should i try to completely uninstalling the software and then reinstall? i also installed m-audios upgrade about a week ago but had no problems up until now. if none of this works, should i strat wondering about a potential virus and possibly formating the hard drive?
any help is certainly appreciated

I have a similar device. A fresh install of the device may help.
For my device the manual says to turn off all power saving settings. Do not let the computer go to sleep, not the screen, not the hard disc, not anything.
That is probobly unrelated to the computer not recognising it.
It's not a virus.
Make another user account in the System Preferences. Log out of your account and into the newly created one. Does it work?
If you still have no luck, run the apple hardware test with the discs that came with the computer. A simple search can tell you how to do it.

Dv6, Sound Icon has an X, no audio devices installed

I have a dv6 running on windows 7 and the sound has not been working for me the past couple of days (since Sunday actually). The sound icon is displaying a red X, and its telling me no speakers or headphones are plugged in. I have tried to do everything it seems like. I went to the volume control options and the “all devices currently playing sound” and “the default communication device” are both checked. I went to “manage audio devices” and it says no audio devices are installed. I went to Administrative tools, clicked on services and “audio service” is nowhere to be found. So I tried reinstall the audio driver, to update the audio driver, BIOS update before installing an audio driver and still nothing. Matter of fact, every time I tried to download another audio driver, I received a message saying “_ExitError: Error=Error in installation, Call to GetClassDevs” which I have no clue what that means. I tried also to go to “device manager” to see if something that’s supposed to be checked off, which might not have been checked off, but there was absolutely nothing being displayed in the “device manager.”
Basically, can someone please help me out? I’d really appreciate it. I’ve read lots of other posts and they’re not helping me so I’m getting a little desperate.

Wow, sounds like you've done some great troubleshooting with all the things you've tried.
Perhaps something happened Sunday to mess up your sound.
Have you thought of a system restore? From the document, Using Microsoft System Restore:
System Restore is a software program available in all versions of Windows 7. System Restore automatically creates restore points, a memory of the system files and settings on the computer at a particular point in time. You can also create a restore point yourself. Then, when you use System Restore to restore your computer to a point in time before an issue began, System Restore returns your computer to the files and settings from the restore point. Your personal files and documents are not affected.
It's just a thought, but it might help.

What EXACTLY are the 4 NVIDIA High Definition Audio devices on N570GTX - Win 8.1

Hi guys,
one of my rigs runs an N570GTX on Win 8.1 64bit.
In Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers, there are 4 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" listed.
I use 337.88 drivers (NVIDIA Control Panel version 7.7.760.0).
What is the purpose of EACH of these 4 devices:
As a side note, my other rig running an N660GTX on Win 7 64bit only shows 1 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

Okay, by examining the devices (enabling, disabling, reading driver data), I can conclusively state that one of the drivers (in my case residing in Location 1) is exclusively tied to the HDMI port on my GPU – when I disable it, my HDMI device (I have only one; shame, because I can't isolate the devices better) stops being listed in Windows Sound Control Panel; when I disable all other devices except that one, my audio over HDMI works fine – this leads me to believe that the other ones are not really essential codecs required for HDMI audio, but are instead related to the individual audio outputs.
In summary, assuming the other two devices (residing, for example, in Location 0 and Location 2) are for audio output on DVI ports (usable via DVI->HDMI adapter/cable), there's still one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device (residing in, say, Location 3), which doesn't seem to be in use in relation to some sort of global codec mechanism (since I can disable it without affecting my HDMI port audio output), that is unaccounted for!
Any idea what other output can the remaining device be linked to, since GTX570 has no S/PDIF pass-through connector on the board itself (to connect it to the motherboard's S/PDIF output)?
Could the remaining device be there only as a legacy stub for S/PDIF connector which was present on the pre GeForce 400 Series cards, since they share the same NVIDIA drivers with the post-Tesla series?
But in that case, why does my GTX660 list only one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device in Win 7 64bit?

Apart from the sound you can get through HDMI (which would be 1 or 2 of these in management), it provides your board with some "HD Sound Drivers" which takes another 1 or 2 of these.
I have quite few of these too even on my old laptop (with Nvidia card): x4 Nvidia High Definition Audio, x1 Cyberlink WebCam, x1 Realtek HD and x1 Bluetooth sound.
Your specs read that you have a GTX770 running on Win 7 64bit; do you also have four of the Nvidia High Definition Audio devices? Or just one? Thanks!

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

Hi!
I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

first go to start-all programs- windows update is at the top of the list follow the prmpts to install microsoft update which is the new version of windows update if microsoft update is all ready installed go there and select custom then let it look for updates
then if it detects missing drivers it will install or guide you on what to do. If you have an r52 laptop then try this link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_CA/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-58599 the best of luck.
2 if that doesnt work then try this open device manager right click on the sound device you may have to expand sound, video and game controlers on the tab that comes up select properties then select the drivers tab select update driver.
do it this way incase the driver installation failed the frist time it may not ask you to update again if you didnt uncheck the box that came up on frist try.
3.find a mother board disk and search the disk using explore for ac97 realtech driver. actually windows update should solve it also try there FIX IT web site there are many automatied fixes there for your use.

Win XP finds no audio device after installing Audigy 2

After installing Audigy 2 ZS, my Windows XP could no longer identify an audio device. Under Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices, clicking on the Audio tab, there is no Default Device for playback or whatsoever.
However, under the Hardware tab, Audigy 2 ZS is visible and seems to work fine. The only suspicious part I caught is that when I check for Properties of Audigy 2 ZS and go down to check Properties of Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM), the status shows "The di'ver is enabled but has not been started." I have no idea how this can be fixed.
The integrated sound card is turned off in the BIOS.
I've tried all possible ways to install, uninstall, install..., but just couldn't get XP to work properly. Any other possible solutions out there?
Many thanks!

Solved after reinstalling Win XP. Wasted too much time on trying other possible solutions.
Hope other people may learn something out of it.

Smart Recorder - Audigy 2 ZS - Win 7 - "no audio device available"

LSmart Recorder - Audigy 2 ZS - Win 7 - "no audio device available"nI've got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and a Creative Audigy 2 ZS. They've worked fine together, but I recently tried to install the programs that come on the CD and I can't get Smart Recorder to work.
It has a message saying "There is no audio device available on the system. The application will now close."? I checked my control panel and it definitely shows a my Audigy 2.

Internal computer noise with firewire audio devices

Hello
I have a Power Mac G5 PPC 2.3 and Mac Os X 10.5.6, with tiger I have the same problem too, I bougnt my Mac for audio work, and from the purchase day, I have the same problem, I bought my first audio sound card, M-Audio Firewire 1814, and I installed the last drivers for my operating system, when I start Logic I must go to prefferences audio and select the device, I select coreaudio tab and M-Audio Firewire 1814, and when I click on apply changes, in the Mac start an internal noise, low level, and hign frecuency, and this sound keep while logic is open or another audio aplication with M-Audio 1814 is selected like audio device like Pro Tools M-Powered.
Aplications work fine but this noise I think is a conflict with audio device drivers, I can hear this sound too when I go Aplications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup/ and in the audio devices tab the internal noise not is sounding but when I click on Midi devices tab, the internal noise start and is sounding while Audio Midi Setup is Open, if I quit Audio Midi Setup the noise stop.
In the Activity monitor I can read MIDI Server process is launched when I click on MIDI Tab, and if I select and close this process the noise stop.
It is only for the noise when is sounding with audio midi setup, close MIDI Server and noise stop, but when the noise is with any application (Logic or Pro Tools) in the activity monitor quit MIDI Server process but the noise keep sounding.
I have Digi 003 Rack and Pro Tools LE too, and I have the same problem when Pro Tools LE start.
If I select M-Audio 1814 in system prefferences/Audio, like audio device and open ITunes the noise is not sounding with ITunes, I can listen music whithout problems, but If I select Digi 003 Rack like Audio Device in
System Prefferences/Audio The noise is sounding with ITunes start becouse Digi Core Audio Driver is launched.
I think is a conflict between Thirty Parts Drivers and The System but I need help, what can I do to resolve this.
Thanks

Nope, someone elsewhere suggested a thing called "ground loop" occurring. Meaning, the interference from the electric current. They suggested trying it with battery power (power detached), and without. But at least for me, made no difference unfortunately.
