No Audio Devices - HP Pavilion dv6700

Hello,
I would like to start by stating my computer specs. It is an HP Pavilion dv6700 (Entertainment Notebook PC), model dv6815nr, Windows Vista Home Premium.
Today I installed the newest version of Adobe Flash Player, which caused Firefox to crash. So I downloaded uninstall_flash_player.exe from the Adobe website. Then I downloaded the archive of Flash Player 10, and installed the previous version. When I restarted my computer to allow the changes to take effect, it would not restart correctly. The power light would come on for a few seconds, it would seem like it was starting up, and then it would crash, only to try to restart again. It repeated this process until I held down the power button to manually shut it down. After a while it was able to start up correctly, only this was when the audio problems started.
First, it said "HP QuickTouch On Screen Display has stopped working." I initially thought this was the main problem, but I realized having no audio devices installed was the real problem. When I hovered the cursor over the audio symbol on the bottom right of the screen, I got this message:
When I right click the audio symbol and click playback device, it says "No audio devices are installed."
I opened the Recovery Manager and reinstalled the "HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with Smart CP" since it seemed like it might be an audio driver or something. That didn't work, and neither did a system restore to two days ago (5-29-09). I also tried installing something from "RealTek" which I think was an audio driver, but that did nothing.
I tried to find an audio driver on the HP website but I didn't see anything related to audio.
Can anyone help at all? Thanks for any advice.

  • Pavilion dv6700 no audio output device, no DVD/ROM Vista 32bit

    Error Msg - "No Audio Output Device is installed" - Mine is dv6000 series.... tried everything on this forum... fixes provided by Hp / MS did not work; sound, video and game controllers did not appear in the device manager; Recovery of driver from Recovery Manager did not work; system restore did not work. .... See how i did it.....Did a complete system Recovery to factory condition using Recovery partition... sound returned... worked for a few days... then disappeared again... so it was clear that it was not a hardware related issue but the reason was some update provided by microsoft (sp1, sp2, silverlight, internet explorer or one from those 100 updates that i got from ms after the system recovery (you can never say for sure which update neither can u pinpoint it to sp2)... its actually a conflict .... what i observed was that internet explorer update continued to fall in despite it already being installed.... so went and uninstalled it (not much of an issue just about 9 to 10 MB as compared to a fat MB of SP2). ... and there it was = sound returned !!! so did the internet explorer update which i hid from then on .  Prob solved....  The webcam which had also returned after the system recovery remained with me from thereon and was not affected by the win updates this time.  Now the only issue before me is the CD DVD Drive... which also appeared after a long period of silence (something like after many years) ie after the system recovery, but disappeared soon after the updates... so again not a hardware issue but a windows update issue... here too fixes being provided do not work... search continues for the DVD Drive restoration.

  • No Audio Output Device - HP Pavilion DV6707us

    I, like many I have read about, am having an issue with the audio on my work laptop. It is an HP DV6707us running a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
    The issue is basically this; an intermittent failure of my audio device.
    Scenario 1: Most times, I will turn on my computer and there will be a red error circle over my speaker icon in the system tray. When highlighted with the mouse, it will say No Audio Device Installed. The audio won't work and if I go through the message center troubleshooter, it just sends me in the direction of downloading a driver. Please note though, that when the system doesn't detect the audio device, it will not let me install the driver anyway. So that solution doesn't work. 
    Scenario 2: There is a rare instance, maybe 5-10% of the time, where I start my computer from shut down and the audio is there. There is no driver installation as you would get with new hardware or anything like that. I am greeted by my custom start-up sound and all seems well, aside from the fact that sound only plays from the right speaker. [I have tried with another speaker set-up too and tested connections, so I know the speakers are physically fine.] Either way, it never lasts. If I so much as graze the quick touch volume control, I lose the sound. If I click on the speaker to adjust the audio, the volume slider freezes and I lose sound within a couple of seconds. I can do nothing, and suddenly the sound is gone. [The error doesn't appear right away.] Sometimes the loss of sound will be characterized by lag relating to some sort of audio element, such as the volume slider, or delay in the start of any media players.
    Other information:
    I have attempted re-installs multiple times.
    I have restored my system multiple times.
    I have installed multiple operating system configurations.
    I have purchased and installed many new parts, but to no avail.
    I have tried to contact HP multiple times, but they don't give a snit because it is now out of warranty. [Though when this began, it was within warranty. The only reason it wasn't addressed so deep is because it was my father's at the time.]
    After researching forums such as this for the last 6 months, I am finding that this is a very common problem among the Pavilion 6700 series, but a solution has not been found. 
    The only answer anyone has given anywhere is to redownload a driver or run system restore. It doesn't work. If that is your suggestion, don't bother.
    I find that an issue that seems to be somewhat related in the crashing of my Shockwave player when the audio fails. I have uninstalled this to explore that possibility, but it did not help.
    I have taken this computer apart multiple times, cleaned and inspected every inch of each piece. [Just to be clear, I am a trained technician. This is done correctly and with proper tools.]
    If there is anything else, I will edit the original post to add them, but this is all the pertinent information I can provide. If there is anyone out there who can even think of a possible problem, that could be affecting my computer, as well as the possible 100+ people I've read about, please let me know in the hopes that I can get an adequate solution. It would also be nice to stop having to refer to it as a piece of [garbage] and using it as a warning of the horrible quality of HP products when my friends or customers ask how I feel about it.
    Thank you in advance!

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

  • NO Audio device is installed on HP Pavilion dv9628nr

    HP Pavilion dv9628nr Notebook PC, Vista 32-bit error message No audio device is installed.

    Please do a BIOS update and this may fix the issue, if possible do a Audio driver update too.
    If you wanna know how to do the same, please go to HP.com- Support & Drivers- Enter product number - Choose OS - Select BIOS - Download and install. Make sure that the Charger is connected to the Computer.

  • No audio devices installed? (Pavilion g7-1318dx Notebook Windows 7)

    Someone please help me out with this, I would be so so soooo grateful.
    From out of the blue my Pavilion g7-1318dx Notebook running Windows 7 won't play any audio at all. It says that there are no audio devices installed. I've been reading other posts on this forum for a couple days now, and none of the options have worked for me. Prior to the audio disappearing I haven't updated anything or installed anything new (though yesterday, I did install a few updates hoping that maybe the problem was that something was outdated... but it wasn't). I did a system restore, and still nothing. Also, I can't record sound either (obviously) as it's telling me there are no audio devices installed.
    I ran the device manager, and under sounds, video, and game controllers the only audio device listed is AMD High Definition Audio Device (which is what my notebook uses for audio apparently, when I connect to my TV which, incidentally, works fine!) but the IDT HD Audio Driver is not working at all. I've tried reinstalling the driver, but I get an error every time and it says it's unable to install it. The answer might be a simple one to someone out there, but it eludes me. 
    So....anyone out there who can help me? Please.

    You can try few more steps..
    i) Completely uninstall IDT first from control panel and then download it  from here 
        Temporily disable the anti-virus while re-installing the IDT.
    ii) Run HP Support Assitant and check if any HP updates are pending..like BIOS Update..
    Recently i came across a similar issue where the sound disappered after a adobe flash update also. So you an try uninstall/reinstall flash and check also.
    Let me know what happens..
    Also if nothing works then the last step would be to perform a recovery (factory reset). If problem continues after recovery also the it has to be a hardware issue..
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • Pavilion dv6000 Audio Device disappeared

    Earlier today I was listening to music and everything was fine, but then all of a sudden my audio stopped playing.  I thought it was just muted so I clicked on my sound in the taskbar and it is telling me "No Audio Output Device is installed."  I have tried everything to my knowledge that I know would fix it but to no prevail.  Ive have searched the forum and on google for any explanation and possible fix but I have found nothing.  So, if anyone could help me with this problem it would be greatly apprieciated.

    I too am having this problem.  I own a HP Pavilion dv6809wm and after installing windows 7 my audio device is no longer detected as well as my DVD drive.  I have tried re-installing the drivers, locating, downloading, and installing the correct drivers for my sound device; which has caused the speakers to work until the user logged off or the computer was shut down, but this work around no longer works at all.  I have not been able to find a work around for the disk drive.  Since the warranty has expired HP is unwilling to provide assistance, so I am now working with Microsoft to try and fix these problems, they are helpful in assisting in helping me at this point, but have been told repeatedly that if it turns out to be something besides a faulty installation disk of windows 7 they will not be able to assist any further.  Any help at all would be great!
    Thanks in advance.

    I cannot view my audio devices.  "No audio devices are installed" appear in my sound manager.  I have right-clicked and ensured that I can view disabled devices.  Is there a way to reinstall the sound devices for my HP notebook?  Also, is there anything to check before I look into reinstalling them?
    Thanks!

    Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
    1-remove power cord and battery
    2-press power button for 30 seconds
    3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.

  • Are there any particular problems with HP Pavilion dv6700 relating to sound?

    Recently lost sound on HP Pavilion dv6700.  I was using it at a high volume the day before.  The next day it
    showed an x beside the volume  sign and said, "No Audio Device is Installed."
    The number on this is KN828UA#ABA.  The computer uses Windows Vista 32-bit.

    I use several Macs with Adobe Connect and I have even created MP3 files for playback in the room. Works fine on all my macs. It's basic Flash. Suggest they clear their browser cache, replace their host-add-in if using one. Run the audio wizard as well to make sure sound is working in Connect.
    All of the Adobe Connect Government engineers use Macs all the time so we've never had an issue with MP3's.

I understand that since you have upgraded to Windows 10, you are having an issue with your sound not working. I would be happy to assist you. Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. Have you tried in the Device Manager to update the driver that is currently installed? Have you tried to select "Find New Hardware" in the Device Manager?Have you tried connecting headphones to see if the Sound issues persist that way?Have you tried to uninstall in the following order: 1.

    Hello gman0700.
    Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to produce audio through an HDMI connection. I apologize for the late response, but I will do my best to assist you. Before anything else, please answer these questions:
    1. What is the current computer's operating system? Does the same behaviour occur on multiple operating systems?
    2. The title seems to imply that there is no audio when connected to a television, using HDMI. Does this only occur when you connect to a television? Will it occur if you connect to something else using HDMI?
    3. Have you tried connecting to a television using VGA or DVI? If so, what are the results?
    As an additional suggestion, for now, I would review the television's manual to confirm that everything is correct from the television's standpoint.
    Please post this information as soon as you can. Thank you posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
