Device Manager Doesn't Show Speakers

I used my device manager to disable my speakers and mic about two months. I figured I could easily enable them when I was done with what i was trying to do. When I went back to my device manager, my speakers and mic were not there. Now when I put my cursor over the sound icon (with the red "x"), it tells me "No Audio Output Device is Installed." Many people have told me to install drivers, that doesn't work. Some say i should uninstall my audio from the device manager and restart my computer, but my speakers DO NOT appear AT ALL in my device manager. Where did my speakers go?

In Device Manager have you tried View,and select 'Show hidden devices' to see if they show up?

  • Device Manager doesn't show AMD Radeon Graphics

    My Pavilion dm4-3002sa has dual graphics, Intel[R] HD Graphics Family and AMD Radeon. Earlier this year AMD Radeon disapeared from the Device Manager and since than Laptop has only used Intel Graphics.
    I have done clean install of an Operating System, Windows 7 (64bit), but the AMD Radeon doesn't show.
    Does this mean that the card has failed, and if you have any suggestion, it would be appreciated.
    On different, probably unconnected subject, the laptop is very hot at the top left corner. Would this have something to do with dust blocking the vents, and if so, does anyone have any suggestions?
    With thanks.

    Hello @draganmikki ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your AMD GPU is no longer showing up on your notebook.
    Have you tried showing the hidden devices in Device Manager and checking the Other Devices section to see if a "Display Adapter" is listed? This could be the card missing drivers. I would suggest updating the chipset drivers, and then uninstalling the Intel GPU. Once uninstalled reinstall with the download from our website. After the Intel card is installed, run the 7470m installer.
    You can find the drivers for your notebook here: HP Pavilion dm4-3002sa Notebook PC Drivers.
    Regarding the heat, try this: Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating.
    If the card is still not detected, you're most likely looking at a hardware issue. I would suggest calling HP Phone Support for service options if this is the case. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • Satellite M305 - Device manager doesn't show webcam

    I would frequently disable/enable the camera in the device manager. However, now I cannot find it. Anywhere. I go to Device Manager and there is no Imaging Devices icon, it's like it's disappeared. I don't know what to do. :( I've tried Showing Hidden Icons, downloading the software again, etcccc.
    I really need help.
    Thanks for your time!

    Hi
    The webcam should be listed in device manager under the point: imaging devices/ USB video device.
    This means the Chicony webcam.
    I wonder why its not listed even though its disabled usually it should be listed but marked with a red cross.
    Try to install the Chicony webcam software from the Toshiba driver page
    The webcam should be recognized again
    PS: before you would install the software, remove it firstly in control panel -> software and reboot the unit.

  • Device center doesn't show "config" options

    LMS 3.2.1 device center doesn't show options related to config management, only "Tools" and "Reports"

    If that's the case, then the database entries must still be pointing to an old version of RME.  The application registration and database records must match exactly for task entries to show in Device Center.  You'll need to open a TAC service request (use the Open Service Request link in the Actions panel of this thread), and TAC can walk you through the procedure to modify the database records to point to RME 4.3.2.

    I've seen one other post about this and I've tried the responses to it: trash prefs, rebuild permissions, reboot the computer (let it rest and uplug), trash quicktime receipts and reinstall, uninstall AJA software and reinstall.
    The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling my OS.
    I'm on FCP HD.
    I can capture and print to tape as an uncontrollable device. But I need to edit to tape tomorrow using the RS-422 to my digibeta deck via the AJA IO. It has worked in the recent past (last month), but in the past two weeks I can't control my deck.
    Also, I get the message "This computer does not have any serial ports required by this protocol" when I try to set up a new RS-422 AV device control setting.
    Help!

    Jerry, I can't thank you enough. I still have a few hairs left on my head thanks to you.
    I downgraded my AJA firmware and that did the trick.
    I had been on the phone with AJA last week tryingto fix this problem and we had tried everything except that. You know, the trash quicktime receipts, trash prefs, hard re-boot, etc.
    They were stumped and finally decided it was a Mac problem not an AJA problem. Ha! (Very nice folks though.)
    Your's was an answer I didn't find anywhere else in all my searching of forums.
    Thanks again!

  • Am told firefox is already running , but task manager doesn't show it

    am told firefox is already running , but task manager doesn't show it. I installed Firefox 3.6.10 on a new computer (win 7 home premium), deleted the profile given and copied my old profile in its place (win vista premium). I get the above message and am told to close the existing process, or restart the system. Can't close and restarting doesn't help. Please solve this for me, i so don't want to use Internet Explorer

    g'day people... a dude called "moopenguin32" showed me the way... alleluia
    1. Copy your Firefox shortcut (what you click on to open Firefox) to the Desktop.
    2. Right-click on it and click on Properties.
    3. Go to the end of the text in the "Target" field. The end will say: firefox.exe"
    4. Enter a space followed by: -profilemanager
    5. The end result will look something like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager
    6. Click OK to save the settings.
    7. Double-click on the shortcut you just changed.
    8. Delete the profile listed. It shouldn't matter that you're deleting it because you're trying to restore a profile anyways. You should have the profile you're trying to restore saved elsewhere.
    9. Close the profile manager.
    10. Start Firefox using your regular shortcut. Firefox should open properly. Close Firefox.
    11. Now to restore your profile, open the profile folder you have backed up and copy the contents of it rather than the actual folder.
    12. Go to your existing Firefox profile and open it.
    13. Delete the contents of the existing Firefox profile.
    14. Paste the contents of the Firefox profile that you're trying to restore (the one you copied in step 11).
    15. Open Firefox and everything should be there (including your extensions).

  • Sat P105-S2036 WinVista Device Manager does not show Tbios device

    The label on the bottom of the laptop says the Model Number is PSPAOU-1W2036. I have had it for about 2 years. During this time till 2 days ago, it ran factory installed Windows XP MCE just fine. Device Manager had always showed Tbios as a device.
    During the two days starting 3 days ago, I successfully upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista Ultimate. Everything works fine except Device Manager no longer shows Tbios device.
    I am not able to find any Tbios WinVista driver at Support.Toshiba.com for all listed Satellite P105 models.
    What does Tbios do to serve what purpose?
    Is Tbios required for WinVista? If so, how may I find the driver to install.
    THANKS for an answer in advance.

  • I use Firefox to access the internet-but when I go off the internet but don't shut down, then go back on Firefox it won't open because "it is already running". Task Manager doesn't show that it is operating so I can't shut it off. What to do?

    It is in the question but to repeat.
    1. When I go online I use Mozilla Firefox
    2. While I am doing other work, I usually close the internet.
    3. If I go back on the internet and click on Mozilla it won't come up, stating that "it is already running".
    4. Despite that, when I open Task Manager, it doesn't show that it is running so I can't shut it down or open it.
    5. If I log off or shut off the computer, then after I log in or reboot the computer, I can open Mozilla.
    Thanks from a Mozilla fan.

  • Equium P200D PSPBNE: device manager does not show the DVD-RW DVR-K17A ATA DVD/CD

    Hello experts out there i need urgent help!!
    My Equium P200D all of a sudden it decided to show the DVD/CD Drive in device manager as no longer working due to a corrupt driver??
    I am running Vista Home and despite deleting the drive and trying to update the driver nothing seem's to work can anybody help i am getting to the point of throwing it out of the window.
    Regards
    Stephen

    Hi dude
    This issue is known to me it happened to me too
    The problem is you Windows registry!!!
    One registry entry is corrupt and therefore the CD/DVD ROM does not work as I should.
    So what to do.
    Firstly remove the driver from the device manager. Just simply delete it.
    Then access the registry and and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Then reboot the notebook.

  • Application Manager doesn't show all apps

    When launching the Application Manager it starts up great but all apps does not show.
    When logging in to my account at Adobe and click "Try" on Premiere Pro, the application manager opens up but there is no sign of Premiere.
    Same thing with SpeedGrade and After Effects.
    What's wrong? Why doesn't all apps show?       

    We had that problem and when I asked tech support he asked me whether I had a 64-bit OS. If you don't, Premiere Pro doesn't show up since it's a 64-bit application. If you do have a 64-bit OS, then you have a different problem and should probably contact tech support.
    Good luck!

  • Non Functional Wireless Adapter: Visible and Functional According to Device Manager Doesn't Appear in IPConfig

    Hi all,
    This one has me completely lost. The user normally connects via a USB wireless adapter, which stopped working a few days ago apparently of its own accord. The device is detected and reported as working by both Device Manager, and the Network Connections
    menu, however it doesn't appear at all in ipconfig- Not even to say that it isn't connected to anything. When I try to connect to a network, it reports no connections available as if it was out of range. However, I'm sitting right under a known working access
    point.
    The device is enabled in devmgmt, there is no physical switch to disable it, and the adapter itself is tested as working both on different hardware running Windows 7 and 8, and the same hardware running Slax Linux. Wired connectivity to the affected machine
    appears to be fully functional, which leads me to discount the TCP/IP stack.
    I've tried the default PnP driver, the driver that came with the device on a mini-CD, and the latest driver from the manufacturer. I've also tried a completely separate USB wireless adapter, made by a different manufacturer, which proved to have the same
    problem with identical symptoms.
    I've been through power settings, it is set to Maximum Performance as per the default. I've checked the WLAN autoconfig service, which is running and starting automatically as it always has. I've even checked registry settings suggested elsewhere on technet,
    and those are fine. System restore produced no results. Virus scan came back clean.
    The only two things that seem unusual are A) the fact that the adapter doesn't appear at all in ipconfig, and that Cisco AnyConnect VPN client begins complaining in the event viewer, error description "ROUTTABLE_ERROR_GETBESTROUTE_FAILED" - Presumably
    due to the sudden lack of usable interfaces
    With all this, I'm out of ideas. Thanks for reading, and any suggestions (even insane ones) would be much appreciated.

    Hi Blexie,
    According to your update, I think you have fixed it by yourself.
    I am glad to hear the issue is resolved .
    Thank you for share the solution.
    If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know. Thanks again, and have a great day!
