Not finding Sound card

I have just bought a P6206 desktop with Windows7 installed. It has the integrated Realtek sound chip
The sound works with no problems, in that I get system sounds, it plays CDs and DVDs. Skype and Messenger work , and I can play sounds from the internet.
However, I have installed several amateur radio digital programs and the sound doesn't work. They show these error messages:
Digipan.  Sound card is already in use or does not exist.
MMSSTV.  Can't open sound card (-1)
fldigi.  E: init_stream: Could not find device "", using default device. (Drive E is my DVD drive, my hard drive is drive C)
I'm not running Media Player, or any sound programs.
They worked on my old computer which ran XP.
Please can anyone help with some advice?
Many thanks
Keith

I know it is difficult not to compare Win7 to XP, but there is a major difference.  Many programs that run great with XP, may not work at all with Win7.  I would try updating the sound driver.  You may have to use Windows Update to find it.  Hopefully, this won't effect the functions that are working properly.

  • Can not find sim card

    I already insert Sim card but iPad can not find Sim card and show non Sim card

    Restart the Ipad. I have done that when I first put it in and that solved it. I held the home and power button at the same time to restart though. Also make sure the sim is in the right way.

  • Sound problems, ALSA can't find sound card at boot

    Sometimes, my sound randomly drops out, and I can't get it back until I reboot. Even when I reboot, 1/20 times, it will not be back.
    When I watch stuff on youtube, sometimes the sound just drops out. Nothing gets muted. My audio player can't produce sound.
    If I do
    lsmod | grep snd
    I'll see the some output.
    When I reboot and try to play music from Quodlibet, I'll get an error like this:
    Output Error
    GStreamer output pipeline could not be initialized. The pipeline might be invalid, or the device may be in use. Check the player preferences.
    "lsmod | grep snd" will have NO output and when I try to start alsamixer:
    [xz@gestalt ~]$ alsamixer
    cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
    I can't figure out what's going on, and googling has just led me to various not-completely-related posts on this board... what could be the problem?
    EDIT: A few more things to note--
    I have alsa in my daemons list in rc.conf
    I'm part of the "audio" groups.
    soundcore is not blacklisted

    Audio devices aren't even mentioned. I noticed when I tried to boot up that I get an error like "sound card not detected." Why would arch suddenly not be able to find a soundcard? It looks like it almost has nothing to do with my ALSA configuration, and has more to do with my sound card not being found at all in the first place....

  • Can not find Sound BLaster Live 24-

    i put in the card and it dont come up and say that it has found new hardware... i tried installing with the CD it said not found please make sure hardware is installed properly .... what do i do

    Hi,
    Can you please check:
    1. Is this a retail or OEM card? OEM cards (usually came pre-installed with your computer) may not work with drivers from the download site.
    2. The sound card is not being detected by your computer at all. Please go to Device Manager and find out the status of the sound card.

  • Can't find sound card after clean reinstall from scratch to vista 32 bit from 64

    Greetings Everyone,
    Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this frustrating problem.  
    I did a clean reinstall from scratch to move to vista 32 bit from vista 64.   None of my goodies (mp3 player, phone.. all sadly antiquated) played on the 64 version.  That's why I nuked it.
    The reinstall worked like a charm, except now I can't get anything from the external jacks, which worked fine before the reinstall.  I've used every aspect of the device manager, and checked for downloads on each.  When I go to sound devices, it lists the soundcard as "high definition audio device," and says that the software has been updated.   
    The internal speakers are the delightful Altec Lansings.. and they work fine.  In fact, when I plug something into the headphone jacks, they continue working.
    Therefore, I'm trying to find the name of the sound card installed on my build, and then find the driver for it.  
    Here's all the specs from the back if you need them:
    Product: hp pavillion dv 9843cl refurbished
    I'm a music lover, and I love this computer, and I'll be sooooo happy if I can get this fixed.   I'm facing music withdrawals, and getting weaker by the day.  
    Could anyone please offer me advice?
    If there's any other information you need to know, please let me know. 
    Thanks so much!

  • Encore 2 quits at start: cannot find sound card

    My PC has a built-in sound card and seems to work fine with all the video and audio programs I have installed(i.e., ULead VideoStudio9,VideoReDo Plus,etc. I never had any other program question the sound card. Do I need to add a separate card just to run Encore or is there a workaround to this problem? Feedback is appreciated.

    Hi Neil,
    I try to run DXDiags.exe but file is not found in the system - also, did a search for the file with zero result.
    The search in Help Centre yielded no list of entries for DirectX. "No search results found"" to be exact.
    I have installed and reinstalled the tryout app. a few times and again today to run the test. This is what I get after the application says "a sound card cannot be found":
    "Application error:
    The instruction at "0x7c910de3" referenced memory at "0xfffffff8".The memory could not be "read".
    Click on OK to terminate the program."
    Do you think there is something wrong with the tryout version?
    Note: I did a search for DirectX and the results show a whole list of files with "directX" in them, so I think it is installed because other programs have required the latest version to either install or run.

  • PC does not recognize sound card

    Hi,
     I'm trying to install a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express into a HP xw-4300 Workstation (Windows XP sp3), so far with little success.
    I had an old Sound blaster PCI card in it, IIRC, a PCI card installed in this PC automatically disables the onboard sound card.
    So far this is what I have tried,
    Shut down PC, remove old card, install new card ,reboot, cancel the "Install new hardware", install drivers, reboot. No sound. I then run the X/Fi update and the associated programs, reboot, still no sound. I try to run any of the associated programs ans they each say there is no card found.
    Try above process again but this time I chose to schedule an update and it says it recognizes the X/Fi card.
    I then noticed the onboard card is again working, and figured this was my problem. I looked in the bios for a way to turn the onboard sound off and found nothing.  After some research I found I needed to remove the drivers, So first I put the old SB  card in and uninstalled the drivers for that card through Device Manager. Now that the PCI card was gone, the Realtek Drivers were accessible to be uninstalled.
    Now I install the X/Fi card and reboot.  I went back to the original installation as per Creative's manual and still nothing.
    Reboot, This time when the "new Hardware" came up I ran it in hopes that it would connect the card to the already loaded drivers. Instead the new hardware found, appears to have been the onboard sound and loaded the drivers for it.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to disable the onboard and get this card to run?
    Thanks

    Try this and see if it works.
    With the card removed, go into Device Manager and DISABLE the drivers for the working audio device. Then power off the PC, install the new card and power up. You should not have any sound at this point. Now install the Creative software and reboot. Check the Creative web sites for updates.

  • XP not recognizing sound card

    I have a Soundblaster Li've! Gamer edition card (something like that). Recently I installed a program called Zappit!, and I ran that. Well as soon as I restarted my computer I found that my sound quality had gone down the hole. I looked into my sound hardware folder and it's showing Creative EMU0K Audio Processor and Creative SBLi've! Gameport both with driver versions 5.2 installed. None of my codecs seem to be working properly, but I'm unaware if they are related to the issue.
    I'm assuming the program I downloaded also got rid of some important sound file or driver or whatever, and now I'm wondering what I should do in order to fix this. I dowloaded the card driver off of soundblaster and when I try to run it the program says there is no soundblaster card in my system. I've also tried uninstalling the drivers, and every time I think I've done so, when I restart and go to the hardware manager it always says that the card still has the drivers installed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by Slinky25252 on 08-3-200708:0 AM

  • Can not find sound controls for Satellite A80?

    Hi, Im a very new user of a satellite A80, it only 4 days old, I played a cd and couldnt find any graphic equalizer or sound controls. I did get into the Toshiba assist area, but it wouldnt allow me to change the bass and treble, can anyone help me with this.
    The cd automatically plays in window media player, is there a special program already installed on the hard drive for CD's, or is window media player what I should use?
    thanks in advance,
    deb

    Hi Deb,
    You don't say which version of Windows Media Player you have. However, there will be a Graphic Equalizer option somewhere but it may be well hidden.
    I would recommend downloading the latest version from the Microsoft website.
    On WMP V9 the Graphic Equalizer is accessed by clicking on a small window icon at the bottom left corner of the screen (if you hover the pointer over it is called 'Select Now Playing Options')this gives a pulldown menu on which the third item is called ENHANCEMENTS. This will expand to show the Graphic Equalizer.
    You can, of course, use other software to play CDs. If you right click on the CD-ROM item in your My Computer
    you will be able to set which programme you wish to use to play CDs.

  • Can not find SIM card 2.1 firmware

    The update went fine but so far twice since I have done it I have looked over at my phone and noticed that it is not connected to the cell network and there is a SIM Card Error message on the screen. The only way to get it working again was to shut down and restart the phone.
    I have had the phone since about a week after launch and never had this issue before today. Anyone have this happen to them?

    Restart the Ipad. I have done that when I first put it in and that solved it. I held the home and power button at the same time to restart though. Also make sure the sim is in the right way.

  • Skype does not find audio card

    Ok.  I am stumped.  Microphone tests perfectly with Windows.  Speakers work perfectly.  Yet, Skpe reports that it cannot find my audio card (yet sometimes, it does).  Obviously there is some kind of fight between the software drivers that come with the X220 and Skpe.
    Any solutions out there?.  
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Run System Update, and make sure all of your drivers are up to date (especially the Conexant audio driver). There was a fix in one of the versions.

  • [SOLVED] No sound cards detected - /proc/asound missing

    Yet another case of 'i've spent too long banging my head on the keyboard so i'm going to run to you for help'. Essentially i've been using OSS since i've installed Arch, worked fine - although there was absolutely no sound in Wine programs no matter what driver i selected so i decided to try using ALSA. This is the start of my problem. Removed all the OSS packages i could find, ! commented the daemon in rc.conf then proceeded to install ALSA... or, some ALSA utilities since it seems to be included in the kernel? Anyway, alsaconf can't find any sound cards. Upon further investigation it seems as though there isn't any /proc/asounds directory at all. Although lspci clearly shows:
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
    So i'm pretty stumped, no idea where to go from here. I've got ALSA working fine on this machine before, in Arch too... thanks for any help

    Yup, i had done that. However, my search led to this thread:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119263
    Which seemed to be a similar problem but their solution did not help (pacman -S kernel26). But i'm pretty sure by this point it's a problem with my modules (ultimately my own stupidity, but we'll get to that later ). This led me here:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=18828
    Which again didn't present any solutions that worked, however, upon checking my rc.conf again i noticed a blacklisted module by the name of 'soundcore'. I don't ever remember doing that, or could think of any reason why it would exist so i unblacklisted it, rebooted and now it all works - finding sound cards, alsamixer, playing sound. The lot.
    All that's left to do now is see if switching from OSS to ALSA actually solved the problem in Wine i wanted it to Thanks a lot for all the help guys!
    Also - changed thread title.
    EDIT: It did fix the problem, OSS is great but it simply does not play ball in the slightest when it comes to Wine.
