'No Audio Outpt Device installed' on Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10S

Hi there, My laptop has suddenly stopped making sounds, when I switch it on a notification says 'Cant access volume control' and when I hover the cursor over the volume button, it says 'No Audio Output Device Installed'. This has very suddenly happened, the laptop is two and a half years old, I dont understand what has happened?? Thanks! Sinead

Satellite L30-10S
What's the part number family, Sinbad? PSL30 or PSL33?
They use different sound drivers.

Help Please!! no audio output device installed?

Hi. I have a satellite A215-S4757 last night I installed some windows updats went to bed because it was going to take awhile. When I got it had finished and was in sleep mode. When I turned it on I noticed the sound was on mute. Or I thought it was. When I attempted to turn the sound on I recieved the message "No audio output device installed". I updated BIOs 2.30 but that didnt work. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Try this! Looks like you have Realtek audio. I was having the same problem until I installed the updated Realtek driver directly from Realtek site.
As many users have posted, I was having this problem with my Satellite L505-S5990. I tried most of the suggestions I could find here and on the 'net to no avail. I was surprised to see that this problem affected many laptop brands - even as far back as Windows XP!!
Last week I think I finally found the answer (or at least Realtek did). My laptop has Realtek HD audio, and the drivers that came with laptop seemed to be the culprit. I checked the Realtek site last week, and they have an updated driver, dated 3/30/2010, for Windows 7 as well as other versions of Windows. It is Version 2.46.
I downloaded and installed these drivers, switched back to going into sleep mode rather than hibernate and - so far - the computer wakes from sleep with sound intact!!!
Hopefully these drivers will work for others.

No Audio Output Device Installed - How I Fixed It

Here's how I got my audio to work again in my Toshiba Satellite laptop.
Put the laptop to sleep ( Wait till lights go out. The power icon should glow orange.)
Hit any key to wake up the machine and log back in.
Immediately start moving the volume scroll wheel back and forth until the red cross on your taskbar's audio icon disappears.
As your computer awakens from sleep mode, it will try to re-establish communication with its hardware; this is when your computer should detect the communication activity being sent by the audio device as a result of you manually moving the volume scroll wheel.
Hope this helps someone!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have had the same problem--unfortunately this method did not work for me. However I was able to fix it by doing the following:
1. Take the battery out of the laptop
2. Hold down the power button for 60 seconds
3. Put the battery back in
4. Start the computer normally--the problem should be fixed
This worked perfectly for me! Hopefully this helps others who weren't able to fix it using KBHR's method.

Another "No Audio Input Device..." - Satellite U305-S5107

Hi,
I've got the same model, and like many others, can't get rid of the red X and sound icon message "No audio output device is installed". Sound icon in control panel says 'no sound device is installed', both for playback and recording, though elsewhere I find the apparent name of the phantom device and all was working fine until a startup a few days ago. Device Manager has a yellow ! next to Realtek High Def Audio. Properties gives a code 10 cannot start error message. A click to update driver tells me that it's not necessary.
Have followed the advice on other threads - installed Realtek driver update v.6.0.1.5322, but on restart, nothing happened, nothing changed; on the 3rd attempt, I ended up at a Compatibility tool that seems to say the update is irrelevant (because I don't have the driver?). Also did a System Restore to a date when all was still fine, but the red X was still there. And I tried disabling Chicony USB Camera, as recommended in one thread - also to no avail.
Can you help this semi-literate user to get his sound back?

Have you installed all updates from Windows Update and Service Station?

After RAM upgrade on Satellite L30-10S only one RAM stick is recognized

I just added an 1GB Crucial Ram stick into the L30-10S (PSL33E), but only the 1GB get recognized, the Hyundai stick (512MB), which was supplied with the laptop, isn't been used by the system anymore.
I tried switch around, but I can only get 1 RAM stick to work at the time, either 1GB, when both rams are placed in the slots or if only the 1GB is installed or 512MB when I leave the 1GB out.
Did anyone actually managed to get 2 Stick running simultaneously, on this system?
BTW CPU-z did recognize both sticks and reports correctly 1536MB, the BIOS however only 1GB, actually less, since some is taking by the graphics card.
The BIOS version on my system is V2.80, dated 03/05/2007 and both memory are the same speed PC2-4200.

Did you really read all those topics???
From http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=22405:
"I heard about a user how has Samsung 512mb and Kingmax 1gb ram in his L30 and everything is fine, he has no problem with it.
I have two 512mb Samsung modules and have no problem."
From http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=23014:
"You can use 667Mhz modules, but they'll work on 533 Mhz. I read in another forum about a guy, how has 533Mhz and 667Mhz RAM in his L30, and he has no problem."
L30 series supports memory up to 2gb, and if you use memory from a reliable brand, you'll have no (compatibility) problem. Maybe Crucial ram is not the best choice. As I see all those guys have problem with Crucial ram. Something's wrong with it...
And don't forget something: opening a new topic won't help you, if nobody can solve the problem in another topics...
PS: Try Kingmax, Kingston, Samsung, Corsair modules. I never had problem with those brands.

No Audio Output Device Installed message after Upgrading to Windows 7

I have an HP m7490n Desktop computer that I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. I have been to numerous forums and tried to uninstall & reinstall my sound drivers. So far, I cannot find anything that works and my computer has no sound.
I also receive an error message from Windows Update saying that it cannot install the optional NVidia High Definition Audio Driver. Can someone provide any additional information that would help me solve this problem? Loving Windows 7 so far, except no sound!
Thank you

Bootcamp 3.1 update results in no audio output device installed

After installing the bootcamp 3.1 update instead of getting improved/fixed audio I currently do not have any audio in windows vista 64 bit home premium. Which is to say the least quite annoying. Now i do know i have the cirrus logic audio chipset which was detected correctly in BC 3.0 however the microphone was not working. Currently no sound is working at all.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Stefan

I think this is the driver you'll need. Others have reported that their Cirrus Audio functionality was restored with it.

Hi rvariar,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I have you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are getting a 'No Audio Output device installed' and I will be happy to help. This could be cause by an issue during the upgrade. The upgrade process should have automatically created a restore point to go back to Windows 8 and then try upgrading again.
You can try a Hard Reset to see if a clean restart resolves the issue. You can also try Refreshing your Windows and see if that helps at all. Let me know how it goes.

No Audio Output Device is Installed (intermittent)

Model: HP Pavilion dv6810us
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
I have the above laptop, which has been giving me some troubles as of late. First the DVD Rom drive disappeared from the device manager,then the keyboard stopped working right, then the audio output device vanished. Well, yesterday I disassembled the entire thing, cleaned up all the gunk and cat hair that had accumulated on the inside and threw it all back together.
The good news is the keyboard works again, it's not overheating anymore, and the CD/DVD-Rom drive is back and functional, and the sound came back.
The bad news is the sound has gone kaput again and it again says there is no audio output device installed. I tried reinstalling the drivers, and that didn't work. It said couldn't install the drivers because it couldn't locate the device. Every once in a while, the sound comes back, but then it usually goes away again.
Soooo, is there a fix for this or am I going to have to break down and buy a new lap top and/or new components? I usually have pretty good experience with Altec Lansing speakers. But, now all that shows up in my Device Manager is the Bluetooth Hands-Free Audio and Bluetooth Stereo Sound....which doesn't really... give me any sound at all.
Thanks in advance.

Its easy! Your sound drivers are corrupted.
Just do the steps:
1. Delete the sound drivers from the Device Manager
2. Restart your pc
3. Reinstall the drivers.
Note:1. Disable Internet before starting these steps.
2. After restart When the windows tries to install drivers, stop/cancel it.

Problems with Ethernet controller and PCI device driver on Satellite L30-10X

Hellow!
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia.
Just few days ago I bought Satellite L30-10X with W Vista on board. My opinion, that this OS does't very good on this computer, so I install W XP.
I have some problems with drivers. At first, I dont know what model I have:PSL30 or PSL33? I download all drivers for both models. But, after installation, computer doen't find drivers for Ethernet controller and PCI device...

Hi
Satellite L30-10X belongs to the PSL33E series. This number can be found on the label placed on the bottom of the unit!
You have to choose this number from the driver download form to get the compatible XP drivers.
I dont know why you are not able to install the LAN driver. Ive got the same notebook with Vista and Ive installed the XP and all drivers run fine.
I assume you have installed the drivers in wrong order. Please take the look in the Toshiba installation instruction txt file. In this order you have to install the driver! Its important.
I think you should install the XP again to ensure the clean registry and then download and install the compatible XP drivers like mentioned in the installation instruction file.
Good luck
