No sound at all - "THotkey message: Audio device is not supported"

Device Manager lists: Legacy Audio Driver and says the device is working properly. Yet I have no sound,  and I have troubleshooted from almost every angle - even tried to download a new driver (RealTek) and still nothing.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro S300M and I have Windows XP Pro.
Each time my computer boots (and this doesn't happen in safe mode) two messages appear:
THotkey: This Audio Device is not supported
and
TouchED Error
Retrieval of HotKey Failed
Error Code: 0x00031402, 0x00000002
And...as per "Jerry's" advice, I downloaded the HotKey utility and the util common modules. Still nothing. No sound. 
Help ?
Thanks,
S

I know this is an old post--but I came across it when I had the same problem in 2013, so I am posting the solution I found to the problem.  I found that the following things resolved the problem.  First--for the Thotkey problem.  Turn off the hibernate option.  You do this by using the power option (Settings--Control Panel--Power Options--Hibernate tab--unclick the Enable Hibernation box) and  then restart your computer.  For me, this resolved the THotkey message, but still no sound. Then, to resolve the no sound problem.  My Satellite Pro S300-EZ1514 has a key sequence that turns speakers on and off.  The ESC key shows a picture of a speaker with sound waves, a slash, and a speaker.  By hitting the FN key and the ESC key together, you toggle the speakers off (a grayed out speaker image) and on (a yellow-colored speaker with sound waves).  Make sure you have the speakers on (the colored image). Unfortunately, I found this solution after I had uninstalled Realtek Audio Device--downloaded new drivers--and basically spent A LOT of time researching.

  • I am trying to download pictures from my canon rebel  eos to my Ipad but i get the message "this device is not supported" what can I do ?

    I just bought an Apple Lighting to USB Camera Adapter. When I got home to and connected it to my Canon Rebel EOS Digital Camera. I received the error message "This device is not supported" I was wondering if there is any software or drivers I need to download?
    Thanks

    I use Canon Cameras and have no problems downloading photos from the camera to the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. My questions and suggestions might be basic but just to make sure:
    1. This is an iPad forum area. Are you using the lightning to USB camera adapter with an iPad? Your info in your original post says iPod. I'm not sure that the adapter works with an iPod.
    2. After you connect the adapter to your iPad and then use a USB cable to connect the adapter to the camera did you turn on the camera?
    3. If you did turn on the camera and still did not get the import of photos to start try a reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. This will not cause any data loss.

  • When connecting an HDMI adapter I get the message This device is not supported by this ipad

    WWhen I connect the adapter vis an HDMI cable to my TV, I see the image of my IPad then I get the error message about not supported and the TV displays No Signal. I have a multifunction adapter that works although the connection on it is fiddly. I Use an IPad 2 with the latest version of IOS .

    Howdy Gdad_Edw,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information and troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the no video issue with your Apple Digital AV Adapter and your iPad.
    About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.

  • HP Envy 5530 'Device is not supported' on Mac OSX 10.7

    I have installed the software for the Envy 5530 but when I close the installer and go to HP Utility I get the message "The device is not supported' Updating HP Utility or using other HP Software that is designed to support this device may solve this problem.' HP Utility is useless. What other HP Software can I download?! 

    HI, I also had this same issue and finally worked out a solution.
    Just to summarise: I had two Macbooks 10.7.4, iPhone, iPad, airport express and netgear evg2000 router. They all worked wirelessly one minute then stopped. I could wirelessly connect to the printer, print test pages, view the queue, view supplies but any print would appear in the queue as 100% complete or 1% or 12% but never actually print out.
    I logged in to the embedded web server (ews) on the printer, went to network, advanced settings-bonjour and changed the Bonjour Highest Priority Service to '9100 printing' instead of 'LDP'. I then deleted the printer from the print function in system prefs, re added it and it worked. I had to turn the iPhone and iPad off and on and they worked.

  • Nokia E50: "This device is not supported by iSync"

    Just purchased Nokia E50 (series 60 smartphone) but I'm unable to add it to my iSync devices. I keep on receiving this message, "This device is not supported by iSync."
    I purchased it because it was listed as a compatible device on http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    I'm using iSync Version 2.3
    Very keen on getting it to work/sync.
    Please help.

    You might be better off getting a new cell phone. From what I can gather, the W490 is quite old. If your cell phone plan's expiration date has passed, it should be easy to convince your cell phone carrier to replace your cell phone with a compatible version for little or no money simply by telling them that you will switch to another cell service provider if they can't give you a good deal on a new cell phone, but of course, make sure it is compatible with iSync on Snow Leopard. Here is a pointer to Apple's iSync device compatibility guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2824

  • I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • MegaSky 580 - Presto! Error message "The device is not ready"

    Error message "The device is not ready. Please check whether your device is connected correctly."
    I can see the device in the drop down menu of the settings window, when I select It, I get again the same error message.
    If I plug off the usb stick, presto! Do not see the device anymore
    I did have this problem since the beginning, I did try a lot ,
    I install also the updates for the “digital TV usb min receiver” and the updates for the presto software (from the presto and msi homepage).
    But nothing was helping.
    After a couple of weeks I needed to reinstall the laptop from scratch.
    And the first thing that I did was trying the presto software again, and it was working everything fine.
    After a couple of weeks I install some other stuff and all of the Microsoft patches,
    And I did get the same problem back.
    So it seems that something is disturbing the communication between the USB stick and the presto software, but what!
    The usb stick is working finr, I did try it with a powercinema trial version, and it is working, but why the OEM software of the USB stick not working, I hate it!
    It would also helpful, to get a kind of log functionalities, due to the fact,
    that no logs are available! Maybe somebody knows kind of switch to increase the verbosity and get an error log?
    I have seen the same problem in this and other forums, so I’m not the only one.
    But no solution found, maybe someone has found it…..

    HP nc6120 laptop

    The Acer laptop, whic works with Mega Sky 580, is a celeron, can´t remember the exact spec., 1,5 Ghz, 1G DDR

    I am having the very same problem:
    3 Systems:
    A- Desktop MB-Abit AN7, AMD Athlon 3000+ - working fine with all software and drivers updates. All aviable XP updates applied. XP Pro SP2
    B- Laptop Dell Dimension 6000, Intel Centrino, 1.6Ghz Mobile, 512MB DDR2- cannot get it working- tried all aviable updates, all XP updates applied, XP Home SP2, Intel Chipset drivers- newest, says every time "The device is not ready. Please check whether your device is connected correctly."
    C- Desktop Intel P4 3.0Ghz, 512MB RAM, Intel chipset- was working first 2 or 3 reboots then the same problem "device not ready", all updates, all XP updates, all motherboard updates, XP Pro SP2
    On systems B and C the tuner is recognised properly in Device Manager and correct drivers installed(the newest from MSI+software patch)
    The only logical conclusion I can make at this point is that there is something to do with the chipset make, as it works just fine on AMD and on Intel it won't, using the same software+drivers.
    Any other ideas? Or just dump the thing in the bin

  • What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    You've gotten 2 good answers already, but there's a key assumption in both that you got the message when connecting the iPhone to some other device. If this is the case you can get an adapter in the Apple online store that will allow charging from older devices.
    If, however, this message appears when you are not connected to anything the problem is dirt or moisture in the dock connector at the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a dry toothbrush or air blast.

  • Audio device is not working, i have installed proper drivers, but audio device is not working

    hi,
    I have installed registery mechanic last week and made a system run in my laptop. After re starting my laptop, my audio devices are not working fine. I have installed the drives correctly and they are reflecting in program lists, how ever the audio device is not working. If I am reinstalled the system,  My audio device is working fine, I have installed a fresh OS, but sitll its not working fine, could you help me to fix this one.

    Tecra A8
    Model No = PTA83L-04C02N
    Can you please tell me from where I need driver so that my "Fn" key will be operation? Right now I tried to use "Fn" with F6 and F7 which suppose to change screen resolutions but nothing is happening.
    Can you please tell me if I reinstall New OS (Windows XP - Sp2) then in which order which driver and Toshiba software I should install?
    Hard to find XP drivers and utilities for that machine, Manoj. But you're in luck because the Asian part-number family PTA83L corresponds to the European PTA83E.
    Go to the European download site and look up the Tecra A8 with Short Model No. PTA83E. You'll find 40 XP drivers, utilities, and BIOS updates.
    Install the Chip Set Utility first, then the Display Driver, and then the other major drivers. Install the Common Module prior to Toshiba utilities and other programs.
    Good luck!

  • After upgrading to iOs 5.1 the AV composite cable don't work, appear a message: the device is not compatible with iPad2, anyone else had this problem or have a solution for it?

    After upgrading to iOs 5.1 the AV composite cable don't work, appear a message: the device is not compatible with iPad2, anyone else had this problem or have a solution for it?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
    If that does not work, restore the iPad to the factory settings.
