No active mixer devices found - lost my sound on Sat Pro A100

I need advice/help on how i can restore my sound,
I have a Sat Pro A100 series PSAACE-007002EN and have lost my sound. I may have deleted this upon doing an AOL spyware check and didn't give me the option to backup the file.
All I have is the sound start up for windows and if i'm on msn and i get prompted to talk then that sound is given, too. I have lost the notification sound to my aol login/log off and email notification. I cannot hear sound playing my music either.

HI Wisam,
You will need to re-install your sound device/drivers. You may find them on your Tools and Utilities CD (if you have one) or alternatively you can download the appropriate drivers (there are different ones depending on which model of notebook you have) from the Toshiba download site :-

Audigy 2 value: No active mixer devices availa

My Specs:
Windows XP Pro
SP (SP2 disables many of my App's)
AMD Athlon XP 800+ .49 GHz
52 mb Ram

Here is the problem. I purchased the Audigy 2 Value card, because I simply wanted to upgrade my sound capabilities.
I think that I am a pretty competent computer geek.
I've done all the uninstalling and deleting and registry cleaning, disabling the onboard sound chips in the Bios, and pretty much everything that Creative, and Microsoft say's need to be done when installing a new sound card.

The problem is that everything in the system acknowledge's that there is a new sound card installed, but when you try to get sound or go into the Control panel to the "Sounds and Audio devices" No devices are shown thus I cannot manipulate volume, recording, midi etc.....


I really hope that someone else has gone through this and now has a solution to this problem.

Is it me, Is it the Card, or Is it in the system?
I thank you all now for your wise advice in the future.

Hi All, I think that I'll reiterate my problem.
st I have done all the uninstalling and deleting before installing the Audigy 2 Value that is logically expected. When I was done installing and restarted I didn't see the speaker icon pop up in the toolbar area so I went to "Control Panel, System Info Area", and open Device Manager, went to "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers". Opened "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" to Properties. It say's that the device is working properly. So I go to "Sounds and Audio Devices" in the Control Panel. Click the Volume tab and it say's "No Audio Device". Go to the Audio tab, and it says under each item "No Playback Devices, No Recording Devices, No MIDI Playback Devices". I go to the Voice tab and it says "No Playback Devices". I go to the Hardware tab, and click the "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)". It says "This device is working properly".

I think that by now you get the idea. I'm not getting any sound at all, but everything in the computer that I am aware of indicates that the "Device is working properly". I've tried forcing a manual install of the drivers, but no success. Creative apparently knows nothing about fixing this problem, because I haven't been able to get any answers from them.
Can anyone help?

No active mixer devices, no sound, no audio devices

HP Pavilion dv5000, Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed. Have searched all over; seems to be a common problem but none of the available solutions I could find have worked (save for system restore, to which I haven't yet resorted).

This may be an old reply, but I wouldn't advise a system restore. Tech support told my friend to do this with his laptop and it never worked the same again, i.e. made the situation worse. He was trying to get a high spec game to play better, but after tech supports suggestion of system restore no game worked, i.e. were so slow that were un playable.
hope this helps for the future.....

I have lost all sound on macbook pro 10.6 and in ITunes can no longer play any cinema or tv shows purchased. I believe it may have been caused by recent use of mini-display port Toslink Audio to the TV. What can be done?

I no longer have any sound on my macbookpro 10.6.8, not even beginning chime.
Furthermore, I find that I no longer have any images as well as no sound, from any
of my Itunes cinema, tv show purchases, etc.
I recently watched last week a couple of tv episodes through my TV
using a Mini Display Port + Toslink Audio purchased at Apple.
I use this device occasionally and haven't had any problems til now.
Any suggestions to right the problem?.

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,
Clinton

Low sound volume Sat-Pro C650-EZ1524D

Can not get volume up to acceptable level even with all volume controls at 100%.
Downloaded Toshiba Audio Enhancement and it only slightly helped. Any suggestion or ideas on how to fix this? I know it is an easy fix, however, I can't figure it out. Thank you for your help in advance...I appreciate it.
Cliff

You should uninstall the 2 audio enhancement programs that comes preinstalled on your toshiba laptop. I just bought a satellite p70-a and i had the same issue with the sound volume being too low. Once I uninstall the two audio enhancement programs and restarted the computer, my volume was way louder.

Sound card has no Mix device. Can alsa simmulate one?

Hey,
As the subject says, my sound card
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
doesn't have a "Mix" device from which to record "what-you-hear" sound. I've read into the subject, and keep seeing Pulse mentioned. However, I'd like to avoid switching to Pulse, if at all possible. Is alsa capable of creating a "virtual mix device" or some such contraption?

After spending a whole bunch of time, I was able to create a hardware loopback using ALSA that allows recording all of "what-you-hear".
Like most modern motherboards, mine also had a "HDA Intel" audio controller, but that's only half the hardware. You should also have a "codec" chip that the HDA Intel chip controls.
My codec chip is a Realtek ALC662. So it all started by using some google-fu to download the PDF datasheet for this chip. Looking at the block diagram in that document showed that there were indeed "virtual wires" that connected the audio outputs (play) back to the audio inputs (capture).
Downloading, compiling, and firing up the "hda-analyzer" program showed that those "virtual wires" simply were not turned on. So I used that same program to "connect" the wires, unmute some of the newly connected nodes, then messed with alsamixer until it all worked.
The "hda-analyzer" program has a great feature that can create a Python script of the changes you've made. This is super because your changes will disappear on a reboot (unless you jump through even more hoops).
I found that sometimes if I left the hardware loopback device connected for a somewhat long period of time, a minor "hummmm..." could be heard from my speakers when no music was playing. So I'm totally guessing this is the reason why the ALSA developers don't have this loopback "wired" by default. So I simply created one Python script that turns on the loopback, and then another that turns it off.
Anyway, it works great, and if you're lucky (your codec chip has virtual "loopback" wires), and you roll up your sleeves and get really, really "dirty" in the ALSA and audio hardware mud, you just may be able to do the same thing on your system.

Tvtime has no sound: no 'mixer' device in /etc? [~SOLVED]

Hi everybody
Every audio app were workin fine in this location up to 1 or 2 days ago.
Got latest Alsa & edited /etc/modprobe.conf accordingly to alsa wikki a long time ago, removing anything but those lines:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
As of today, bmp, amarok, opera, mplayer have sound as allways, but tvtime has none (and that came out just in time for my single favorite tv show, you know that :cry: ) :
Running tvtime 1.0.1.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/kozaki/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
mixer: Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.
tvtime uses '/dev/mixer:line' by default:
option name="MixerDevice" value="/dev/mixer:line"/
And may use some others like 'pcm', 'vol', etc.
But it worked fine until 1 or 2 days ago, & I did not edit tvtime conf file since months !?
What I found is there's no 'mixer' device in /etc :
[root@llewellyn kozaki]# find /etc -name "mixer*"
[root@llewellyn kozaki]#
any clue about that pliz ?

unmuted 'Line' in alsamixer and TV sound is back ...even if tvtime shows same warning message
mixer: Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.
OK i get it clearer now : sound comes directly to/from the 'In' jack on my mobo integrated sound chip, so I have no control on it (like with an audio CD plugged directly to the sound card I guess).
That was most probably /me having played with alsamixer #-|
Uh, what is that still absent 'mixer' device supposed to do anyway ?

After installing Mountain Lion. Under sound, where it says select an output device, it say no output devices found and there is no sound. How do I fix this? I have reinstalled the os twice and still the same. I have also repaired permissions.

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC...

TS1574 I have no sound on my iMac.    When I select the upper key on the keyboard or select 'output devices' in the System Preferences file, it says "no output devices found".     Any ideas as to I can turn on the sound?

I have no sound on my iMac.    When I select the sound keys on the upper row of my keyboard or select 'output devices' tab in System Preferences, it says "no output devices found".    Any idea where I am not looking to get sound back?

Thank you for your responses.    I found the 'sound' icon in the menu bar and found it was turned down low.   I adjusted the sound there and this worked; however, I'm not sure why this didn't show in my System Preferences or why I couldn't adjust the sound from the keyboard.    Those function keys basically became un-usable for me.   Thank you again!

How can I get sound on my MacBook Air after installation of Lion? "No output devices found" on the system preferences pane of my MacBook Air.

Since installing Lion on my MacBook Air, I get no sound and ITunes playback doesn't move. The Sound Preference pane states "No output devices found." The Bluetooth connection to a WiFi speaker works, so it must be a software problem. Anyone?

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

Laptop dv7-3162nr has lost all sound. control panel reads there is NO sound device. Help!

Hi,
DV7 is a series of dozens if not hundreds of models, what is yours ? Please bear in mind normally HDMI sound on computers go from video cards, not "sound" cards.

I lost the sound. Sound inactive.

I wanted to play a video on my TV, so I connected all the necessary cables from my PowerBook G4 to it. I do this all the time and I've never encountered a problem. But this time, I lost the sound output from the computer. Whenever I press any of the sound keys, the icon shows up but there's a "no entry" symbol below it meaning I'm unable to adjust anything. Likewise, the sound icon in the menu bar disappeared leaving a strange gap in it.
Anyone know how to fix the problem? It seems rather random.

Choose a device for sound output > Nothing
There's nothing listed. No output devices found. Everything in that window -- including the submenus -- are greyed out. I can't make any changes.
One funny thing happened, though. I went to the Apple Store today and as soon as I got into OS X, the volume started working again, as if nothing had happened. I got home and the volume disappeared again! This makes no sense.

Lost all sound on my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook

I have a HP Pavillion dv6 notebook with a Widows 7 operating system and have lost all sound. Any suggestions as this is a 6 month old notebook?

I had the same issue last night after an automatic BIOS update. I read about 7 pages of posts that seem to deal with the same issue and found a combination of actions that seem to have restored my audio functions completely. I posted the solution and it resolved the issue for at least one other user who commented back. It it works for you, please also post that it worked for you. I suspect there are alot of users out there that have or will be experiencing the same issue. It would be nice if HP would post the appropriate solution, it seems to have been going on for awhile.
1. Through 'Device Manager / Sound, video and game controller' I uninstalled my audio driver (IDT High Definition CODEC) and also deleted the driver software for the device.
2. Through 'Programs and Features' I uninstalled the IDT Audio Software (vers 1.0.6418.0) that was installed with the BIOS update.
--> This forced a reboot.
--> When my system rebooted it automatically searched and found the appropriate audio driver -- now I've got audio and Media Center works fine...
Hope this helps you.

No mixer device

I recently had to format my hard dri've. Im trying to re-install my Audigy2 platinum ex sound card but to no avail. Im running win Xp SP2 Home Edition. I have downloaded all the drivers from the website and the installation went smooth. But when I try to play something I get the error message no mixer device installed. I looked in device Managerand the drivers are loaded. I looked in the sound and audio devices and it show no audio device loaded. On the hardware tab it show the card is loaded but says there are problems. Ive switched PCI slots and got the same thing. I have know clue what to do now. I know for a fact the card is still functional I just cant get it loaded. Thanks in advance

I checked the WIndows audio service and it was started and set to automatic. Before yesterday I was using the downloaded drivers from creative website. I then found my installation cd and tried that. Still no dice. I used the creative diagnostic tool and it passed the hardware detecting, direct3d sound and soundfont tests, but it failed the wave, midi, mixer and mixer settings tests. I also was curios and looked in device manager and clicked on the creative audio driver. Then I clicked on properties. It shows audio devices, midi devices and mixer devices. It says on all of them that the driver is loaded but not functioning properly. I still at a loss!

Audio usb ALSA error: No suitable mixer element found

Hello everybody.
I've installed arch last week. I've some problem with my usb audio. The audio usb device works but i can't use a mixer, so audio control is everytime set on max.
I can't use my normal intel audio 'cause is broken. This is my aplay -l output:
aplay -l

When i try to play audio files on audacious, arch give me following error: Audio usb ALSA error: No suitable mixer element found.
I've set the audio usb device as default with asoundconf. If i try to use hd intel audio, the mixer works good, but when i get back to usb audio, mixer is absent. There is a way to set a mixer for the usb audio device?

Probably related to module options.
If you simply want to control the volume it would be easy to implement a softvol plugin. But this headset should have a volume control. What is the output of:
