My desktop has no sound and audio ???? What do you suggest is wrong, the lines to the computer tower

Operating with Windows 7, Computer is an Acer model. I have no sound or audio, all lines are hooked up in the back of the computer correctly. What would you suggest is wrong and what to do to get the sound back on my computer ?????
Thank You Cindy {Personal Information Removed}

Typically desktop PC's do not have speakers unless they are external. So unless there were speakers in the box, then you have correct assumption. I had another with the same question and unless the monitor has speakers, then external speakers are required.
On the other question, it would seem that installing Windows 7 may not void the warrenty, as HP does not support the OS, other than providing it.

Audigy , Sound and Audio Devices Properties 'No Audio Device' appears

<p class="MsoNormal">Out of the blue, in the Sound and Audio Devices Properties, on the Volume tab ?No Audio Device? appears.
On the Sound tab of Sound and Audio Devices Properties, my Default Device says ?Modem # Line play back and is my only drop down choice. I made no configuration changes or installed any new software, it just stopped working.
I have searched for solutions, to no avail. I have an ?!? next to the Microsoft Kernel Audio Mixer in Device Manager that upon re-install displays a message that there was a problem installing this hardware(MEDIA) I/O operation has been aborted because of either a threadd exit or an application request(both installing from driver folder and recovery CD).
I don?t particularly care what sound device I have, just one that works again. I?ve uninstalled the sound devices and let them re-install on reboot and have checked the BIO settings (I don?t have any sound related settings there).
In Admin Tools > Services ?Windows Audio? is started and set to Automatic. When I manually try to play a windows sound in the Sounds tab I get an error message that says my sound card may be in use.
Under Sound and Audio Devices in Device Manager I currently have(when I ?Show Hidden?):
-Audio codecs
-Legacy Audio Drivers
-Legacy Video Capture Devices
-Media Control Devices
-Video codecs
Don't know what else to try. Any help would be appreciated.

I have since tried putting in a different sound card (another soundblaster, I think a 28 model) and installed its drivers but had the same problems. Im having a go at using the onboard sound though, just to see.Message Edited by cesario85 on 09--2005 06:57 PM
Audigy shares IRQ with IDE controller and firewire controller. This is not good.
NOTE: I suppose you're running your PC on "Standard PC" -mode (since IRQ's >5 not showing). If so, you can try to assign IRQ for the PCI slot, Audigy is installed, manually from BIOS. See your motherboard manual page 4-26.
Can you check if your PC is running as "Standard PC" and not as "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" (Device Manager --> Computer). Make it "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" --> you get more IRQs (virtual) in use.
NOTE: You may need to reinstall OS to get this done.
Also you may need to enable APIC mode on BIOS.
How To:
A) Go to 'Device Manager' a short cut to get there is "Right Click" on the My computer Icon on your desktop (Control Panel --> System --> Hardware),
B) Next click on 'Computer', then double click on 'Standard PC'. Then select 'Driver' and then 'Update Driver'.
C) At this point you will see a screen pop up asking you to do this "Automatically" or Select 'Display a list of the known drivers for this device', - Choose this option.
D) Next you will see - 'Show all hardware of this device class'. Now you can select "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" in the list shown in the window to the right.
E) Now Windows needs/will re-start and re-install all hardware/ settings needed to run in this configuration.

Hey im josh my mac has no sound at all what do i do ?, hey im josh my mac has no sound at all what do i do ?

hey im josh my macbook air has no sound at all what do i do ?

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. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed something 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 reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
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. Reboot and test.
9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot 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.
10. Reset the NVRAM.
11. Reset the SMC.
12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Satellite P30-145: Don't have an audio device in 'Sounds and Audio devices'

Hi guys,
I've only just fixed one problem with the help of one fantastic member but now I have another!
All of a sudden my speakers decide not to work!! I checked the volume etc and alll was fine but when I went in control panel>sounds and audio devices it says I don't have an audio device!!!
It worked fine this morning and I havn't done anything that could have done this.
These problems I'm having are all spontaneous, I don't know what's going on!
Does anyone know how I can fix this and does anyone suspect virus activity? (I have done a scan which said I don't have any)
I use a P30-145
Many thanks

Hi
Did you check the device manager?? Is the sound card listed properly in the device manager or some yellow exclamation marks appear?
Did you try to reinstall the sound driver? If not, please try it.
Of course I would also recommend to update the anti virus applications and to scan the system for virus and malware

My Macbook Air has no sound and the volume is locked?

My Macbook Air has no sound and the volume is locked?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that 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.

Tried to down load some software from the net but it did not work for it required printer access which I dont have.
I also dont have my XP installation CD, so am all lost and could do with any help from computer geniuses out there.
Thank you

Hi there,
First of all would you tell me where did you downloaded some software where you thought it would bring back your sound?
Since your machine is from america you would have to go to the american driver download site:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
Please visit the link Ive posted and download the sound driver. Install it and check if the sound works.
In case of any question just feel free and ask...
Greetings

How to open sounds and audio properties using Labview function

Hi All,
How to open the sounds and audio properties of the control panel using the Labview system exe vi.
Is there any dll also to open this property.
If there is dll which is that and how to program the dll to serve my purpose.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you looked at the "Graphics and Sounds" section within the Functions Palette (Block Diagram)? There are VI's that already exist for this.

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.

Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?
