No sound at all - "THotkey message: Audio device is not supported"

Device Manager lists: Legacy Audio Driver and says the device is working properly. Yet I have no sound, and I have troubleshooted from almost every angle - even tried to download a new driver (RealTek) and still nothing.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro S300M and I have Windows XP Pro.
Each time my computer boots (and this doesn't happen in safe mode) two messages appear:
THotkey: This Audio Device is not supported
and
TouchED Error
Retrieval of HotKey Failed
Error Code: 0x00031402, 0x00000002
And...as per "Jerry's" advice, I downloaded the HotKey utility and the util common modules. Still nothing. No sound.
Help ?
Thanks,
S

I know this is an old post--but I came across it when I had the same problem in 2013, so I am posting the solution I found to the problem. I found that the following things resolved the problem. First--for the Thotkey problem. Turn off the hibernate option. You do this by using the power option (Settings--Control Panel--Power Options--Hibernate tab--unclick the Enable Hibernation box) and then restart your computer. For me, this resolved the THotkey message, but still no sound. Then, to resolve the no sound problem. My Satellite Pro S300-EZ1514 has a key sequence that turns speakers on and off. The ESC key shows a picture of a speaker with sound waves, a slash, and a speaker. By hitting the FN key and the ESC key together, you toggle the speakers off (a grayed out speaker image) and on (a yellow-colored speaker with sound waves). Make sure you have the speakers on (the colored image). Unfortunately, I found this solution after I had uninstalled Realtek Audio Device--downloaded new drivers--and basically spent A LOT of time researching.

Hey Marco,
This is a end-user-to-end-user support forum for the most part, I suggest you contact Apple via http://getsupport.apple.com or even http://www.apple.com/feedback to alert about your issue.
Good luck.

New MacBook Pro Unibody Jun 2011 - No Audio Device / No Output Device Installed. Please Help.

Dear All,
I have installed OSX Lion on the 20th July 2011 and the problem started with the audio device installed. Itunes wont even play and iDVD and you tube would work without audio. I have tried everything from system diagnostic re-booting back to original snow leopard on 10.6.7 including taking it for service. The audio works intermittently when I re-start my MacBook but eventually disappears back to square one. Until restarted again.
I am still under my 90 days from purchase date and the problem is I am no longer in London where I originally purchased the MacBook from - I moved to Delhi, India with my family and they don't have geniuses here only local service/ technicians who already tried fixing the problem.
Very disappointed after spending nearly £1,600.00 for this.
I don't want to go back to the local service centre for them to restart my MacBook to prove audio device is working.
Is there any other option for me like refund or replacement?
Many Thanks
Shah

Dear Lex,
Thank you for your advice above.
I have updated latest iTunes 10.4.1(10) 64 bit.
I have updated latest OSX Lion: 10.7.1 Build 11B26
Still the problem occurs. When laptop restarts the sound stays for 5-10 min before shutting down intermittently. In iTunes the music will not even run - other applications such as YouTube - it will run but no sound.
I have tried everything now and I am certain it must be a software connected issue I am experiencing only.
Please can you help.
Many Thanks

No audio (and "no audio device") in WIndows XP on my MacBook Pro 17"

Greetings,
I just installed Windows XP SP2 on my new MacBook Pro 17" and everything is working smoothly EXCEPT that there's no sound in Windows from the built-in speakers, and in fact the Control Panel reads "No audio device." I have already successfully installed the Boot Camp drivers from my Leopard DVD. I also tried to run the Boot Camp 2.1 update (downloaded directly from the Apple site) but the installer cannot be run and gives error 2762, whatever that is. Finally, I've seen on some forum posts that certain Realtek drivers may fix similar problems on other machine, so I downloaded and installed Realtek R2.27 high definition audio driver but that doesn't seem to have done the trick for me.
I'm guessing this problem could be fixed easily by the correct audio driver but I can't figure out what that is or how to find it. Please help, any advice would be appreciated!

Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) - High Definition Audio Device - Code 10

Hi, i installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit via Boot Camp on my new Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011). Driver Disk was installed, but the "High Definition Audio Device" couldn't be started. Status is Code 10. Normal Cirrus Logic Audio is working. Any advice, how this could be fixed? Would be nice, to have audio over the Mini-Displayport HDMI Adapter on Windows as well (Works perfectly with Lion).
Thanks,
Thorsten

No audio device installed after upgrading to windows 7???

after upgrading to windows 7 audio is not working error audio device not install driver error...

Hi,
You will need to identify your CPU and chipset. CPU-z is a free and safe utility that can do that for you.
If your system has an Intel chipset with disccrete or onboard graphics or an NVIDIA chipset with onboard graphics, then the drivers are here at this Realtek download page.
If your notebook is an AMD CPU and NVIDIA chipset, with a discrete graphics module installed, then the driver for your Conexant CX20549-12 will be here.
Post you results here in your thread so others rsearching for the same information can benefit from it.
Best regards,
erico

How do I use 2 Core Audio devices at the same time in Logic w/out switching

Hello, I use the Aardvark Direct Mix usb3 as my audio interface for mic and guitar. I just upgraded to Logic Pro 7 today and was hoping someone could tell me how I could use the Built-in Audio Core Audio driver along with the Direct Mix USB Core Audio Driver at the same time without having to switch Core Audio Driver's and than rebooting Logic. It is very frustrating doing that as well as not being able to hear my Logic audio during playback/record mode when I am trying to record via the USB3. WHat can I do? Thanks! If ther are both core audio, why can I not just use both of them at the same time? Why must a switch back and forth? Thanks!
[email protected]

THanks everyone! awsome article! Thanks for posting it, nh!
The weird thing is, once I go up to the Menu and select Open Aggregate Device Editor in the AUDIO/MIDI setup utility and try to add a new Aggregate Device setup (step # 6 from the link), the only audio device available is the "Built-in Audio". What's weird is when I have the main Audio MIDI Setup utility open, every single drop-down menu/tab has the "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1" device right beneath the "Built-in Audio" option. To me that says that the core audio device is indeed recognized by my computer (obviously since I can record with it using Logic). Can anyone help me with this one? Any suggestions?
Not that it should matter but, the hardware audio interface that I am using is made by the no-longer-existant company once known as Aardvark. I actually had to purchase a third party Core Audio driver just to have it recognized by OS X.
This is the website where I purchased my audio driver :
http://www.usb-audio.com/
A little more on how this device and it's core audio driver function within Logic . . . (Hopefully this might clarify something I may be screwing up) . . .
I launch Logic with its default Built-in Audio which allows playback of audio from the app. I than go up to Audio Hardware and Drivers and than drop the flip down Driver menu down to the second option, "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1." Logic than prompts me that I should try to (re)launch Logic Pro to load the appropriate CoreAudio.. I do that. Now I am ready to record guitar through the Direct Mix USB3, I just can't hear anything (unless I use head phones as an output from the Direct Mix).
Anyway, you all probably already knew what I meant so explaining that was pointless. But my question is, if the Driver is obviously recognized by my comp in both the Audio MIDI Setup and in Logic, than why won't the Direct Mix device show up as a possibility for setting up an aggregate device? Any suggestions? Thanks!

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?
Quote from: Nichrome on 02-July-14, 19:33:05
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!

No audio device installed (Big iss

Hello all,?I have Vista Ultimate and am using an Audixy 4. After installing the new drivers today (SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_2_0002) I lost my sound. At the device manager i see that "This device is working properly."?When I go to Controle panel/Sound I see the device but I almost none of the commands work (Disable, Test, Configure) only the Properties work but there I cannot do anything useful. When I right click on the Sound icon at the bottom right of the screen and go to Open Volume Mixer, it says "No audio device installed"?Yersterday I also had this issue and reinstalled Vista with a fresh install which fixed the problem. Today I had the same thing again and decided to use my onboard sound card (RealTek, 623_Vista_APO), and nothing changed! I am still getting the same errors as with the Audixy 4. Is there any sollution to this Vista bug? :angry:?Thanks for reading

I am not sure why anyone is not replying with a resolution but I am having a similar problem. I am having a computer custom built and the Technician building it claims that Windows Vista will not recognize both the Soundblaster Xi Fi Extreme Music sound card and the MSI 8800GTX 768MB video card that I have chosen for the configuration. This is due to some conflict. The Technician claims the problem is the sound card and Creative needs to update drivers before this configuration can be done. Is this true? Can anyone explain why? I know Creative has Windows Vista drivers but apparently for this situation it does not resolve the conflict.

MY "No Audio device detected" Solut

Before I begin, I would like to say if this doesn't help you out I am sorry. My goal is for this method to at least help out one person, if so I would feel content in passing on what had worked for me to this community. I would like to also mention my card worked fine on my Win XP setup but after i switched back to XP i started getting errors such as "...audio device supported not detected..." whenever i would try to use the mediasource applications or even do the driver update for my Audigy 2 ZS card. Here is the method that finally worked for me, because there is no way i was going to go through the minatinous job of having to test different pci slots to get this card to work.
. I did a cleansweep of my audio drivers, directions for different operating systems can be found at this url ( http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english,Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=72 ) once you reboot your system after the end of the cleansweep it will locate your card automatically ignore the found new hardware prompts pertaining to your soundcard by pressing cancel on it (or them if you have more than one prompt) and go on to step 2.
2. After that i did a normal cd installation for my audigy 2 zs card installing both regular drivers and the mediasource applications (just to make sure). After the installation finalized I was asked to reboot again which should be done at this point.
3. Once windows loaded back up It located my soundcard and I was presented with the "Found New Hardware" prompts again. At this time for each prompt that came up I picked that I wanted to choose where to find the correct files which i believe is the Recommended choice by Windows which was one of two choices in this area. From there it takes you to another screen where there are checkboxes to choose where you want windows to search for the correct file(s). I chose for both of my found new hardware prompts (if you have more than one, they will show after you finish off the the first one...meaning you will do this procedure more than one time because they will only come up one at a time) for it to search my CD Dri've which still had my creative disc in it so it could search the CD for the correct files (and it should find them).
Then
I proceeded to do a manual install of the drivers as well (yes im installing over an installation, it sounds stupid i know..but it worked for me) by exploring the CD and running the program located in the Audio/Drivers folder called CTZAPXX.exe (CDDRIVE:\Audio\Drivers\CTZAPXX.exe). Make sure the Update Option selected is Driver Installation and the Driver Type is WDM Drivers and also i checked "Overwrite existing shared Creative audio driver files". Then just click OK and click through any warnings that may come up telling the program you want to proceed still. Once that is done it will ask you to reboot again, at this time you may do so.
4. After Windows loads up this time i have my driver update ready which is located here ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ ) according to card type and operating system (since peoples configurations differ this is something that will have to be searched for independently). Normally when i would just click this file to update my drivers it would unpack and then give me the infamous "...audio device supported not detected..." error but after those steps i took, it actually worked for me and went into the installation. Then i believe it asks for another reboot i might be mistaken but after that good sign of it actually installing all my applications work without a problem now; and everything seems perfectly fine for the time being
Sorry for being long winded, but again if you are a person stuck in this rut or just now have encountered this problem and have tried almost everything, this could be worth a try. I am running win 2000 so there might be some discepancy but you never know until you try. If this doesnt help you all good luck in continuing to find answers hopefully something will come along.

<div class="lia">ReCogNeYez,<div class="lia">Might be a little late, but this worked perfectly for me. You can now?rest safe in the knowledge that your advice has helped someone out. Now I can finally get back to watching Red Dwarf : )<div class="lia">Cheers mate!<div class="lia">George

Qosmio X770: 4 nVidia HD audio devices in device manager

So i have a few questions...
In my device manager i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/NfH5E7p.jpg].
So i have (!) 4 nvidia hd audio and 1 hd realtek audio.
I usually update my nvidia video driver and nvidia hd audio driver is updated every time with it.
But not long ago i decided to find any other updates to my drivers, cause bloody toshiba (we call it that way in Russia) is too lazy to support their laptops. And [found this:(realtek hd R2.70 codec driver )|http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level= 4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false].
Installed it, everything is working fine so far. It is for realtek alc269 (and also many other devices, but for us only alc269 matters) which is the real name of realtek hd audio device in x770 laptops (i checked in program aida64, previously known as everest).
So now i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/6HM5mLj.jpg]: version 6.0.1.6662 date 19.06.2012
The previous version that lazy toshiba was glad to provide us with - 6.0.1.6360 [(screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/dUQiPA0.jpg]
So the questions are:
1. Why i have FOUR nvidia hd audio devices in device manager?
2. How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device? Or maybe they are some kind of virtual devices or smth like that.
3. Do you think the idea of installing driver directly from realtek website was bad? There is a disclaimer on their site: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website.
So i invite everyone to test this audio driver with me :)
And a few more things.
In one topic i found this info: moreover, myself and other users of this forum have overclocked their cards from 657/1300/1200 to 800/900/1600 and are very pleased with the results, so try not to overexaggerate
(it is a quote). So I will be happy if someone gives me link to some kind of manual about overclocking 560m gt from our beloved x770.
Also I found a lot of topics about nvidia drivers with angry customers. I don't remember when i first updated video drivers, but i've never had problems with them. When the situation changed? As far as i can understand in 2011 you could't install nvidia drivers directly from nvidia website.
P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia. Also there is some russian on screenshots, hope it won't make your eyes bleed.

At first i want to "thank" moderator about renaming my topic. Original name was: realtek vs nvidia hd audio x770 + update r2.70 question. Where is 2.70 part in the current name? Ok.
Second. To Tonny: I'm not lame user, no need to explain me obvious things).
> {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
> > How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device?
> I dont understand why you want to make an device primary?
> What is the purpose for that?
>
> If you want you can set the sound devices as default device in Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback tab
> Click on the device and choose default.
If there is nvidia hd audio device and it's not some kind of virtual device or controller, i want to test it like primary audio device. Simple curiosity. I love flac etc.,
So I always try to improve sound. And alc269 we have in x770 is also installed in my ANCIENT asus eee pc, so it's very depressing. Also your advice about control panel - sound is not working, i think you know why... There's only speaker device working on realtek hd audio.
> {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
> You can use the driver from Realtek since the sound chip is from Realtek.
Yep, of course, but it's my 5th laptop and also i have 2 netbooks (i'm speaking only about portative devices, not pc). I tried to update drivers manually numerous times on my previous devices, and I learned a lesson, that if you install new driver (not from you laptop/whatever support page, but directly from device manufacter's website ) and even if you are absolutely sure that driver is compatible with you device there can be problems. For example, as i've already said realtek alc269 is installed in my qosmio x770 and in my super old asus eee pc. And driver is the same.
Also realtek driver support page has disclaimer: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website. (already was in op-post).
So I only tried to hear from those who has already installed r2.70 realtek update or maybe tested it some way. But the moderator made it impossible renaming the topic.

Could not find supported audio device in AA3

okay so i know its not a good idea to use AA3 with Vista...but other people are doing it so why can't I? I've seen the topic posted before but the threads are pretty much dead and I still have no helpful info. I've scoured this thing with no affective solution. I've installed AA3 on several systems in the past and never had this much trouble--if any. This problem has gone on for over 2 months now!
Since I installed AA3 on my new computer all i can get and all i have ever gotten is the "AA could not find a supported audio device. Please check device settings" dialog--
press okay (or x) and Audition closes---never getting past the loading window --during "initalizing required components"
I have 3 audio devices/ with up to date drivers which all my other audio programs recognize (Audition 1.5, Sonor, Cubase + more) with no problem whatsoever--
AA3
Windows Vista SP1 64 bit
Realtek HD Audio
+ Presonus FP10 digital firewire interface/preamp (kind of unrelated but aa3 still wont recognize it either apparently)
I have installed all updates including the 64-bit SP1 fix for AA3.
I've read the Realtek HD issue solutions and made sure my drivers are fine.
IM DESPERATE----PLEASE!!!
I'm having a recording studio built right now & AA3 is my main DAW so this is rather dire.---All the other DAW's i've tried suck compared to AA3 (with the exception of stability). hehe AA3 is always crashing on me and yet i still prefer it over other DAW's.

I put the PreSonus StudiLive 16.4.2 plus Adobe Audition 3 setup instructions into a short write-up on my blog: Live Event Multitrack Audio Capture
Here is a photo showing how to set up the Firewire channels for input and output
I hope this helps:

Inspiron 1525 not able to select internal mic for webcam, nor is it showing up on Control Panel, Sound, Audio Devices

Initial problem was Dell Webcam video recording records no sound.
In Control Panel, Device Manager, Sound Video and Game Controllers there are two High Definition Audio Devices listed: Location 1 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus) - I deduce this is the internal mic; and Location 2 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus) - I deduce this is external microphone jack. Both have the same driver version.
The Control Panel, Sound, Recordings Tab showed 2 devices that looked identical except the bars that show green with volume were only on the first one, which is also the default one, and would detect sound if you got real close to the webcam mic when talking. Both devices displayed as 'working'.
Accessories, Sound Recorder recordings are silent no matter how close you get to internal webcam mic.
Dell WebCam Audio Source tab has two selections, both reading Microphone (3 - High Definition Audio Device). Both selections record sound with the EXTERNAL MIC jack. There is no way to select the internal webcam mic, it is not an option.
Per instructions found on the web, I uninstalled the first device only in Device Manager and rebooted. The same driver version as before was installed. But now the settings have changed. Device Mgr still shows Loc 1 and Loc 2. However, under the Sound, Recordings tab there are still 2 devices, but the first one says 'currently unavailable' , is still the default, and the sound bars that go green for audio testing are on the SECOND device now instead of the first one. If you check the Properties for each device, they BOTH are showing the same location Location 2 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus), i.e., the external mic jack. Loc 1 device (built in mic) is not showing up!!
Accessories Sound Recorder works with the EXTERNAL mic. (How does it know which one to use, it's not giving me a choice?)
So the Location 1 device (internal mic) is not showing up anywhere besides the device manager. I want to use the internal mic for skype and webcam. Somehow I need to get the Loc 1 device to show up on the Sound - Recording tab and in the Webcam Audio Source list? What do I do?
Thank you in advance for your help.

This is Vista.
Go to the Inspiron 1525 support page. Find the small blue "Change OS" and click on the arrow. Select Vista.Then download and install these 3 items with a restart between each one.
1. Dell System Software in the System Utilities category.
2. Intel Mobile Chipset in the Chipset category.
3. Sigmatel audio driver in the Audio category.
See if it works any better after you get the Sigmatel driver installed.

No audio device on windows xp with SB0

Hello, I've a SB0060 with a cd version that does not install on windows xp. I've always had problems installing this card on windows xp but once I've managed to install it.
I was upgrading the driver to try to fix some bugs with TeamSpeak and lost all sound.
I've tried to install again the SB0060 but couldn't get it to work.
I've tried with:
SBLi've5XPDrvUpdate.exe
Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe
Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe
Li'veDrvPack.exe
All of the drivers install on windows xp BUT in the "sound and audio devices" gives me the finger with "no audio device".
In the device manager, No conflits, No troubles, No Shared IRQs, NOTHING! This is really driving me crazy.
Is there any driver or HowTo install this card in the web? Any fixed stuff or people with the same problem?
Please help.

Try the CD from here instead.
