How do y get the sound to work.

How do I get my sound to work.

I assume you have an iPad.
It would help if you give some information in your profile or your post about equipment, operating systemversion and so on.
If you are new to iPad:
Go to Settings, choose the "general" line in the left panel, then you will see the "Use side switch to:" possibilities.
Check the side Switch position.
Underneath the General is the Sounds settings, iy look there look at the most upper setting at the right.
Happy new year.

NO Audio output Device is installed as well as NO sound, video, or game tab in the device manager

Here is the issue I had with with my Compaq F700 series laptop. The sound was working one day and then not working the next. Over the volume icon there was a big red X and the warning that No Audio output Device is installed. I also found that there no longer was the sound, video, game tab in the device manager. It had gone missing.
I couldn't use most of the fixes as they require having the sound, video, game tab available and this tab was, as I said missing. I tried reinstalling the sound drivers from the manufacturer’s website as well as using the driver re-install, but at each attempt it would fail as a result of not having any audio devices installed on the computer.
I tried doing the system restore and rolling it back but the problem didn't get resolved. What eventually worked was restoring the system to a MUCH earlier date, like a month prior to the problem. When the restore finished the sound was still not fixed. HOWEVER, the computer OS (WINDOWS 7) needed to re-install a bunch of updates and after the updates were installed, everything was working. I suspect that the original issue was a bad update (the updates didn't install correctly) and that by rolling the system back to a time prior to the bad updates and then re-installing the update was the fix.
With that said, if the restore option doesn’t work or can’t be done I would try looking through the add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstall the most recent system updates, then restart computer and let the updates re-install.
Good Luck

Only option that I see in the BIOS is under Security. Audio Device: Hidden or Available. It was set to available and I left it at that. Still no audio.
Really? Nothing? This computer is one year old. Absolutely no reason for this to be happening. What a joke.

Audio Problem. says computers muted/ no audio output device is installed. works on start up

I have a HP pavilion dv6500 notebook, windows vista 32-bit.
My computer was recently wiped and was given to me by a friend. he told me the computer needed a new sound card and that the sound never worked.
However, when i first started my computer I had an update and a sound driver was installed.
I put on a movie, the sound worked flawlessly, so I know the drivers, audio output device and soundcard are all installed correctly, but after a minute or so of watching the movie my sound cuts out, the speakers icon shows it is muted, and won't allow me to change the volume, when i scroll over it a message pops up that reads "no audio output device is installed".
sometimes when I shutdown my computer and restart it, my speaker Icon appears normal, and I can listen to music or watch a music video and the sound works again, but after 30 seconds to a minute or so, it does the same thing and wont work anymore.
I dont know what to do. I have tried to use the site to scan my computer for missing files or drivers but it just said that my computer isn't the model i specified (which it is) and that I have an expired warranty. which shouldn't matter if all i need is support.
I work with music and need to use programs like Protools or Logic Pro but I cant do that without sound so haven't installed those programs on my HP yest. PLEASE HELP.

I'm having the exact same problem. The problem arose randomly, and when I checked my computer's devices there was a device in "other" called 'High Definition Audio Bus' that had been installed (without my knowledge) right before my computer lost sound.
What had happened was my computer was running extremely slow all of a sudden and so I restarted it and when it restarted I had no sound. Because this device was installed on my computer immediately before the sound stopped working I assumed it was the cause of the problem and uninstalled it.
It didn't solve the problem, niether did installing the driver you posted a link to, it just posted an error message that read: "Could not find the device for this driver"
I'll try reinstalling the necessary drivers for my computer, which leads to my next and much more insignificant issue: How do I find the product name of my laptop? it's an HP Pavilion g series, and it lists the serial number and product number but from this list http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodSeries... I have no idea which laptop is mine. How can I find out?

How do I get the sound to work?

I can't get the sound to work on my Mac, even after going into System Preferences. It is brand new so this is very disappointing. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Can you post back with the following.
1. The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see Here for a further explanation.
2. The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).

How do i get my sound to work?

How do i get my sound to come back on?
It won't play back any sound even though i press play on itunes, and another music player.
Even after I restarted the computer.

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
    Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.

There is no sound coming out of my iPad. If I plug in and external speaker it works. How do I get the sound to work? I must have turned something off?

I have no sound coming from my iPad unless I plug in external speakers. How can I get sound again. Thanks

If you lose sound for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email and other notifications, system sounds have probably been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled in two different ways: either by the side switch (located next to the volume up/down controls) or in the Recent Apps tray. The initial default is via the side switch.
Check the status of Settings > General > Use Side Switch to:. If this is set to Mute, the switch on the side of the iPad will mute system sounds.
If this is set to Lock rotation then the mute system sounds control is in the Recent Apps tray. Double tap the home button and, in the tray which appears at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is on the left. Is it is crossed-out tap on it and mute will be turned off and system sounds will be turned ON.
This Apple Support article explains in more detail how the side switch works.

How can I get surround sound to work?

I have a new TouchSmart 520z. I believe it has an integrated soundcard. When I purchased it I was told that surround sound speakers would work. I purchased the Logitech 5.1 speaker system. I don't have any color coded RCA receptacles on the system. I have a mic and earphone receptacle on the left side and a sub and another receptacle just below it with a design on the rear that I am not sure of. I placed the green RCA plug in the bottom receptacle on the back and get sound out of the two front speakers and subwoofer. Don't know where to plug in the center and rear speaker plugs. I have a feeling that this system does not support surround sound. I configured my settings to surround sound 5.1. Need some help. Thanks.

Did some tests...
If I change the default audio device to the integrated audio device in the mainboard I get the same. Changing the bitrate in itunes or in the windows settings does not help either...
Anyone has a similar problem?
Or anyone has a similar setup and actually gets surround sound from itunes?
I rather keep renting and buying films through itunes and not switch to some other shop...

How can I get a spyder2pro to work with Lion? Color vision says that Rosetta isn't compatible with Lion.

How can I get updated software so my spyder2pro works on my MacBook Pro?

You can get in touch with the Developers and see if they intend to release a version in the future which won't require Rosetta. Rosetta has been dropped in Lion. They make it quite clear on their site that Rosetta is a requirement, so I wouldn't hold my breath. That leaves you the option of finding a similar program which will run on Lion, or return to Snow Leopard, if they have no plans to make changes to their program in the future.
Good Luck

How do I get surround sound after compressing a movie using compressor

I am using compressor to create files for authoring DVDs using DVD Studio Pro 4. I want to get surround sound 5.1. How do I go about doing it? I have using Dolby 2.0 so far. Thanks for your help.

Well, in order to get 5.1 surround sound, you would have to mix the sound in 5.1 surround. Pro Tools and Soundtrack Pro 2 (the one in Final Cut Studio 2) can both do this.

Pavilion dv6661se. i have lost all audio. i get prompts that say 'no audio output device'

How can I download the driver for the sound card that I have. I also do not know how to look-up what sound card I do have.

In System Preferences>Sound do you have your internal speakers set as the output source?
You may have toggled on optical output with the Toslink cable - check to see if there's a red light coming from the port. If so, quickly plug and unplug a set of headphones for a number of times to see if you can toggle the switch back from optical to the internal speakers.
Good luck,

How do I get the sound to work on my macbook pro?

All of a sudden the sound has stopped working on my macbook pro. It only works when I plug in speakers or headphones. I've been into system preferences and nothing worked. The sound icon at the top right of my screen is greyed out... anyone help with how to get it working again?

System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure Mute is not enabled.

in and out of the port 5 or 6 to flip the microswitch inside.

How do I get my sound to work again?

My sound cut out on me. Everything was working really slowly and I had to restart a couple times and now everything is working at normal speed, yet my sound still doesn't work. Nothing will play out of the speakers or headphones, and when I press any of the sound keys a circle with a slash in it shows up and I haven't been able to figure out what exactly caused and it how to fix it.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Are you asking a question or making a statement?
On the left hand side of the device, is the mute switch on???? Do you see a red dot? If so, the device is on mute, turn the volume on.
