"No Audio Device" after uninstall onboard video

"No Audio Device" says WinXP Pro sp3's "Sound and Audio Devices Properties".
I think this started when I installed a first video card in my Presario SR1913WM motherboard's PCI-e slot.
Before installing the video card drivers, I took some advice to uninstall the onboard video.
Now I have no audio. Should I re-install the NVIDIA drivers for the motherboard's GeForce 6150 LE?
I figure if I do, then I can re-install the Realtek drivers; I uninstalled them today thinking I could install them as I did a couple years ago (but now MS Update isn't offering me any Realtek drivers).
And should I uninstall the listing in Device Manager for "AMD High Definition Audio Device" (I suspect this might be from the video card's drivers)?
Here are the SR1913WM specs.
This question was solved.

Hi:
I noticed on the specs you posted for your new video card, it has an HDMI out port, correct?
Well, what happened is your PC thinks you not only installed a new video card but also a new audio card and it disabled the onboard video and the onboard audio. You video card has an onboard HDMI audio chip (the AMD HD audio is for the HDMI).
So, all you need to do is go into the BIOS, and find the onboard audio setting.
It will either be set to Auto or Disabled.
Change the setting to Enabled. Save it by hitting the F10 key at that point and again when you exit the BIOS (save settings and exit).
Upon reboot, all will be well again.

Win XP finds no audio device after installing Audigy 2

After installing Audigy 2 ZS, my Windows XP could no longer identify an audio device. Under Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices, clicking on the Audio tab, there is no Default Device for playback or whatsoever.
However, under the Hardware tab, Audigy 2 ZS is visible and seems to work fine. The only suspicious part I caught is that when I check for Properties of Audigy 2 ZS and go down to check Properties of Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM), the status shows "The di'ver is enabled but has not been started." I have no idea how this can be fixed.
The integrated sound card is turned off in the BIOS.
I've tried all possible ways to install, uninstall, install..., but just couldn't get XP to work properly. Any other possible solutions out there?
Many thanks!

Solved after reinstalling Win XP. Wasted too much time on trying other possible solutions.
Hope other people may learn something out of it.

No Audio Device after Installat

Hi,
i?m using Audigy 2 ZS. Once i was detected that the rear speakers don?t work. I was read the support and found that a complete deinstallation and new installation will repair all problems. So i do. Now i dont have any Sound but in the device Manager is the "Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM) without any problems present. When i?m selecting "Sounds and Audio Devices" in the system panels there is no Audio device for selection. I?ve installed the newest Software. What can i do? Thanks for help

Is onboard sound disabled?
Did you ever install the drivers too for Audigy, or did you let the OS to find the best drivers by itself? Install the latest drivers using these instructions.

Mac Pro (2010) too many audio devices after adding 2 x 27" LED Cinema disp

Can anyone tell me how to re-prioritize the list of audio devices shown in system preferences or Audio MIDI support?
REALLY, what I'd prefer is a way to completely disable audio devices that I absolutely do not need.
I am having some 3rd-party software issues with some software that cannot cope with the long list of audio devices, but I would expect that if I could remove unnecessary devices or at least change the order in which they are presented to software, I might be able to workaround the issues with the third party apps.
Everything was fine before I installed two new 27" LED Cinema Displays, which together bring four new audio OUT devices and two new audio IN devices.
I would like to disable all four audio OUT devices...in fact I would like to be able to disable several of the Mac Pro built-in audio devices that I will never use.
Here's the list of audio devices that I now have:
Internal Speakers
Line Out
Digital Out
LED Cinema
LED Cinema
Display Audio
Display Audio
GN 9350
A key 3rd-party app (with whom I am also filing a bug) only shows these choices in the "Audio output" pull-down:
Built-in Digital Output Digital Out
Built-in Line Output Line Out
Built-in Output Internal Speakers
Display Audio
Display Audio #2
Display Port LED Cinema
GN 9350
So when I try to choose GN 9350, what I get instead is "Display Port LED Cinema" -- I think the problem is that really the list should be:
Built-in Digital Output Digital Out
Built-in Line Output Line Out
Built-in Output Internal Speakers
Display Audio
Display Audio #2
Display Port LED Cinema
Display Port LED Cinema #2
GN 9350
If the above list was actually being shown properly, then I would HOPE that I could actually choose GN 9350 and have it stick.
But until I can get the 3rd party app fixed, I would like to know how to get the Mac Pro to either change the order of the devices as presented/listed, or to (preferably) let me completely DISABLE unneeded devices.

Thanks... But I do still want to be able to use the built-in iSight and the USB hubs.

No audio device after restore

External iSight used to work fine on mac pro. Main drive died, restored from time machine and now it doesn't show up as an audio input device (in system prefs audio or iChat). Video works fine, and it shows up in system profile without issue.
Have created another user account, Reset PRAM multiple times, tried every firewire port, no luck.
Tried it on my Mini and audio shows there so it's not the iSight itself, it's something to do with the restore of the OS (was working fine prior).
I suspect there's a settings file in the system library that needs to be deleted but don't know what or where specifically to look.
I will be restoring again once I get the main drive RMA'd so really need to find a core solution.

@ Jim,
If in your Pic from earlier about the Unknown Device you clicked on the iSight the Firmware version should appear in the info at the bottom pane.
It needs to be version 1.0.3 (it never got higher than that)
@ Both of you
Also check MIDI Audio Set up (In Applications/Utilities when the camera is plugged in.)
There should be a drop down to select the different Imput devices that there are.
The External iSight samples at the 48000 rate (most other USB Mics and the Internal Mics if you have one are sampled at 41000)
Try changing the sample rate in MIDI Audio Set up and see if it makes any difference.
Also in Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions do you have Apple_iSight.kext (This is what you should be looking for)
In Cover Flow view it will appear as the top Apple item due to the underscore.
Mine is there. (I expected it to be as I have never done a Fresh Install of Snow Leopard)
However it is showing a Modified Date (I choose to show that column) that is within the life time of Snow Leopard. (And matches the date on many other items)

High pitch squeal related to Firewire audio device after 10.6.2 audio patch

So the recent Mac Pro audio update 1.0 (applied on 10.6.2) has reduced my CPU temperature with audio playback (Presonus Firebox Firewire audio interface) and that is great. Also haven't had any machine crashes (grey screens) recently which is also great.
The problem is that when the Firebox is plugged into the firewire port of the Mac Pro there is a constant high pitched whistle of slightly oscillating frequency. If I unplug the Firebox the whistle goes away in a few seconds.
After prolonged use in a quiet room (the kind of room you need for audio recording / mixing work!) the noise is enough to drive me crazy.
I read a post on another forum with other people having the same problem. Can anyone comment here on seeing the same thing? Is there any known work around or fix for this?
When the CPU is under heavy load (e.g. H.264 compression etc.) the noise subsides only to return when there is normal load (i.e. half a dozen apps running).
Help!
Thanks

So I was able to back out the update using "Kext Helper b7" and the original IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext and AppleHDA.kext files from a backup before applying the update. It's pretty easy - just drop the two files onto Kext Helper, hit "go" and then reboot.
My ears are no longer in constant pain and I can actually use the Mac Pro again albeit running quite hotter than before.
This is not a fix Apple. The problem looks unrelated to a specific device based on the posts in this thread. Please issue a usable fix for the Mac Pro Audio performance issue.

Ipod vid 60gb audio cuts after 32sec. of video

i have a movie on my 60gb 5th gen but the audio cuts out after 32 secs. but if i fastforward it comes back for another 32 seconds. the movie works fine on my computer. smaller videos work fine like wine

I'm having the same problem. The video is in MPEG-4 format and plays fine on the computer but has the same problem as you described when playing on the Ipod. It's very frustrating. I did see one posting that mentioned that the new update to 1.1.1 actually caused the problem. I tried to return to the previous version without restoring but alas, it does not work. So, I've restored my ipod back to the factory settings and am currently reloading over a 1000 files including a number of videos back on to my Ipod. I do wish Apple would at least allow you to return to the original software without erasing all the files - or that the update would actually be an improvement. I'll let you know if the restore worked or not... I was hoping to be able to play the DVD's smoothly. Otherwise, there's no point in converting.

MSI P35 Neo2-Fr -- can't get onboard audio device to appear in XP

I've just installed XP sp3 onto my new mobo (MSI P35 Neo2-Fr).
Attached is Q6600 core2 quad processor, 2GB memory (DDR2), ATI HD4850 gfx card. I haven't changed the bios much at all or overclocked anything yet.
All seems fine *except* that I can't windows XP to see that there's an onboard audio device.
(It is enabled in the bios btw.) I've tried installing the high def audio driver on the CD from mobo box, and also downloaded the latest from the MSI site. I uninstall the driver and reboot before trying to reinstall it again btw.
The audio driver installer used to say there was a problem installing the driver, but it doesn't any more. After installing it and rebooting, XP control panel -> Audio devices says there are no audio devices.
Also, I notice that there should be an extra audio item in the XP control panel (according to mobo manual), but this hasn't appeared.
In XP's system hardware list there are no sound devices under Sound, but there are two unknown PCI devices (with yellow question marks next to them).
Any suggestions?

Go to Microsoft update and choose custom
You should see a list with hardware updates..........
After that, all will be fine
Hi there
Thanks for your reply. I went to MS updates, didn't see any in custom about hardware (apart from updated ethernet driver). Installed all updates anyway. And the problem remains...

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,

Sound is missing after start-up, disable/re-enable of the audio device required

Hi,
I have a MSI K8N Diamond with onboard Creative Live 24! sound.
Since last weeks I have a strange problem with the sound; when I start-up the PC after some hours of inactivity, I have no sound at all. I tried to see what's happening or to find a workaround and I discovered that I can get the sound back by disabling the audio device from the control panel, restarting the PC and then re-enabling the device.
To explain the phrase "I have no sound" I can say the following: when I go to the control panel and open "Sounds and Audio devices", everything seems OK. But when I try to test for example the sound that will be used for the "Asterisk" (or whatever else), the small back triangle next to the sound name turns to a black square (normal) AND REMAINS BLACK SQUARE FOR EVER... (while normally it should turn again into a triangle within some seconds).
I re-installed XP and all the updates from Microsoft, but the problem is still there. I checked the "event viewer" but there is nothing relevant. I also tested both the original drivers from my CD and the newer ones from the MSI site.
Do you think this could be a hardware problem? An IRQ conflict probably? (I've seen that Creative uses the same IRQ with Sil3132). Any other ideas?
Thank you,
Petros

So you reckon it to be a hardware issue...
OK, I'll open the case in the afternoon and have a good look inside. It's true that recently I did some work (added memory, changed a HD) so probably it deserves some time to see again if everything is in tact inside.

[SOLVED] Default audio device no longer works after reboot

After today's reboot, the audio device no longer works. E.g., VLC says:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.
This is the console log:
[0x1394138] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

[0x7fac180069c8] main audio output error: no suitable audio output module
[0x7fac41055118] main decoder error: failed to create audio output
The strange thing is that the sound card does in fact work; e.g. the sound test for "HDA Intel PCH", the first entry in my KDE Audio Settings, works. But the entry "default" does not and I suppose that is also the device that VLC is complaining about.
I've tried blacklisting the HDMI driver and switched to the other audio output modules in VLC. I've also checked I'm still member of the "audio" group.
Edit:
P.S. Solved this myself. I had a USB-to-MIDI adapter cable plugged in during boot, which seems to have been causing these problems. I suppose systemd thought it was a USB sound card? I was wondering why dmesg said something about USB sound when the computer doesn't have any USB sound devices. Hardware detection epic fail. Although I guess the cable counts as a MIDI device at least, so in a way it's correct.
So it looks like I'll always have to unplug the MIDI cable before rebooting.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Hi eb
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Could be a bad Dynex adapter, return that one for another and/or cough up the extra $3 for Apples.
I'm now using a Mini-DVD to to DVI and a 21.5 LG monitor, but my Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter and my 27" Sharp served me well for a couple of years.
See the Tip in > http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23844?
+Tip: To make sure that your iMac automatically detects the external display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into the external display or projector before you plug it into the iMac.+
