Why are no audio devices detected? (may involve Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 11) )

this is the last problem i have with boot camp.  I finally managed to run the boot camp driver install thing, which fixed all the driver problems except that i still have no sound, i have tried the built in speakers, headphones, and some external speakers, but none of them are detected.  Also, the sound works fine in Mac OSX mode, just not in windows.
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, so i would probably need the drivers for that OS

I solved this on my laptop just now, but not quite sure how.
I uninstalled the driver, and clicked the checkbox when uninstalling the driver to delete the files.
Then, after rebooting, it worked. I suspect it worked because I had earlier installed other drivers, which it then defaulted to. I installed the realtek audio drivers off the Mac OS X cd, but I suspect that wasn't it.
I installed cirrus logic drivers from here:
http://www.cirrus.com/en/support/lic/lic3.html?uri=/en/pubs/software/CS4207WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit6-6001-1-21.zip
Or maybe it was the vista drivers I got from:
http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio
Or maybe these two sources drivers' are the same - and I did just get it from the cirrus site
If you get it working, I recommend you reply here and state exactly what it was that got it working for you. Just make sure to uninstall the driver and in doing so delete the files too (there's a checkbox in vista). This way it will default to what appears to be older drivers if/when you install those.

  • No audio devices detected after upgrading to office 2013

    Hey everybody,
    I have an employee that has done an upgrade from office 2010 to 2013 and now his Lync will not detect any audio devices. The devices are detected by windows and other programs like Skype and Webex but not Lync.
    Things we have tried:
    1. Restarting lync and the PC itself
    2. Unplugging and replugging the devices.
    3. reinstalling all USB drivers 
    4. Made sure that the Windows audio and windows audio endpoint services were running
    5. Updating software
    6. turning off the power saving mode on the USB hubs
    7. Reinstalling Office
    This has been a real annoyance. we are thinking of switching back to 2010 if we cant fix it soon. any thoughts? Any advice would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi,
    Please try to remove the WiDi software/USB, restart Lync 2013 and then test the issue again.
    Please also try to uninstall NVIDIA drivers and then reinstall them.
    Here is a similar case below, and there are a lot of settings will cause this issue, you can check with it:

  • MY "No Audio device detected" Solut

    Before I begin, I would like to say if this doesn't help you out I am sorry. My goal is for this method to at least help out one person, if so I would feel content in passing on what had worked for me to this community. I would like to also mention my card worked fine on my Win XP setup but after i switched back to XP i started getting errors such as "...audio device supported not detected..." whenever i would try to use the mediasource applications or even do the driver update for my Audigy 2 ZS card. Here is the method that finally worked for me, because there is no way i was going to go through the minatinous job of having to test different pci slots to get this card to work.
    . I did a cleansweep of my audio drivers, directions for different operating systems can be found at this url ( http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english,Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=72 ) once you reboot your system after the end of the cleansweep it will locate your card automatically ignore the found new hardware prompts pertaining to your soundcard by pressing cancel on it (or them if you have more than one prompt) and go on to step 2.
    2. After that i did a normal cd installation for my audigy 2 zs card installing both regular drivers and the mediasource applications (just to make sure). After the installation finalized I was asked to reboot again which should be done at this point.
    3. Once windows loaded back up It located my soundcard and I was presented with the "Found New Hardware" prompts again. At this time for each prompt that came up I picked that I wanted to choose where to find the correct files which i believe is the Recommended choice by Windows which was one of two choices in this area. From there it takes you to another screen where there are checkboxes to choose where you want windows to search for the correct file(s). I chose for both of my found new hardware prompts (if you have more than one, they will show after you finish off the the first one...meaning you will do this procedure more than one time because they will only come up one at a time) for it to search my CD Dri've which still had my creative disc in it so it could search the CD for the correct files (and it should find them).
    Then
    I proceeded to do a manual install of the drivers as well (yes im installing over an installation, it sounds stupid i know..but it worked for me) by exploring the CD and running the program located in the Audio/Drivers folder called CTZAPXX.exe (CDDRIVE:\Audio\Drivers\CTZAPXX.exe). Make sure the Update Option selected is Driver Installation and the Driver Type is WDM Drivers and also i checked "Overwrite existing shared Creative audio driver files". Then just click OK and click through any warnings that may come up telling the program you want to proceed still. Once that is done it will ask you to reboot again, at this time you may do so.
    4. After Windows loads up this time i have my driver update ready which is located here ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ ) according to card type and operating system (since peoples configurations differ this is something that will have to be searched for independently). Normally when i would just click this file to update my drivers it would unpack and then give me the infamous "...audio device supported not detected..." error but after those steps i took, it actually worked for me and went into the installation. Then i believe it asks for another reboot i might be mistaken but after that good sign of it actually installing all my applications work without a problem now; and everything seems perfectly fine for the time being
    Sorry for being long winded, but again if you are a person stuck in this rut or just now have encountered this problem and have tried almost everything, this could be worth a try. I am running win 2000 so there might be some discepancy but you never know until you try. If this doesnt help you all good luck in continuing to find answers hopefully something will come along.

    <div class="lia">ReCogNeYez,<div class="lia">Might be a little late, but this worked perfectly for me. You can now?rest safe in the knowledge that your advice has helped someone out. Now I can finally get back to watching Red Dwarf : )<div class="lia">Cheers mate!<div class="lia">George

  • "No Audio Device Detected" Proble

    Hello, hate to sound like a broken record but I've yet to find a solution to this problem that doesn't involve a re-format. So, here we go..
    I have a Creative SB EMU0K soundcard installed on my computer (Intel P4, 3.0Ghz, 52mb RAM, XP-SP2 Home, yada yada yada) along with a RealTek onboard soundcard, and neither of them are detected by my computer. It's not a driver issue, all drivers have been up-dated and rolled back and re-downloaded and installed with the CD and so on. It's not the BIOS either (I know about turning the onboard off and so on). It's not the regedit, I've been through that process turning (something.. can't remember name at the moment) from manual to automatic, but it was already at automatic, so that's not the problem.
    In summary, my soundcard (we'll focus on the Creative SB), or 'audio device', is installed properly and was working. I was hit with a virus of some kind that knocked my computer around a bit, and now I'm in a position where the devices are all installed correctly, and show up on the Device Manager, and even on my Sound and Audio Devices window, the 'Sound recording' and 'MIDI music playback' devices show up and work fine, but the 'Sound playback' and any button with 'Volume' on it are gray and un-clickable, and there is the stubborn message that says 'No Audio Device'. So how does one fix a problem when everything is installed and shown to be working fine, yet somehow the darn thing isn't detected?Message Edited by rk on 0-7-2006 04:25 PM

    Hi there.
    I'm having exactly the same problem.
    i'm running XP pro/sp2...soundblaster li've..
    Here's what happens...
    First sign of trouble was "modem # line playback" or something or other, everything else in the control panel was greyed out.. so after reinstalling a few hundred times...nothing..
    cleared the registry, uninstall, reinstall yadda yadda.. nothing....
    so i uninstalled the "unimodem5"... (disabling it does nothing...) and that "option" went away..
    then reinstall Sb... the software on the site.. the newsest software...and the patch...
    i then reinstall the "windows media controllers" and that seems to let the sb diag find the wave, the mixer etc...
    so now its up and working! i get my volume control, mixer etc...everything...
    UNTIL I REBOOT OR SHUTDOWN
    Xp sees my card, but the SB diagnostic gives me "fails" all across the board..
    i used direct x diag and it sees my card but not in the "sound" tab....
    so what is the conflict that it wont stay in the system after a reboot?
    there doesnt seem to be any conflicts, it just seems the software wont stick..
    Now this is not just my problem either.. this is all over the boards with stupid answers from stupid peole saying "reinstall and voila"...
    well that doesn't work...
    so what am i missing?
    windows wont let me roll back or remove the complete set of codex and controllers so what to do?
    i dont think i should have to reinstall my whole os because of a bug....
    there must be an answer....
    Lemme know..
    in the meantime if i find a solution i wil post it here...
    (i've done all the uninstalls even to the point of deleting registry entries so dont bother with that and i have been all over this board for the last two hours... there are no fixes here yet that work so....)
    thanks everyone, happy hunting

  • No Audio Device Detected (but it shows up correctly in device-manag

    Well, I bought a new soundcard, since I was tired of my old integrated one, and wanted good surround-sound. The model is Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty, and my old integrated one is a Realtek-HD (doesn't say more than that).
    Now to my problem, I removed the drivers from Realtek (even cleaned lots of it from the registry) and put in the new soundcard in a PCI-slot, as it's supposed to be done. I then started the computer, canceled the automatic installation and installed the drivers from the CD I got with the card (this is what it said I should do), now the card shows up in the device-manager as "Creative SB X-Fi" and it tells me it's working fine etc. The Creative-update software also detects it so that I can download the latest drivers.
    However, I have no sound, and in the control-panel's "sound & sound devices" it says "No sound device" and I can't do anything. :/ (not sure if this is what it's called in english, I'm using the swedish version of Windows XP Professional), I can select the soundcard in creatives Volume Panel (where it says "select audio device") without any error-messages, but when I double click the application (to change the volume etc.) it says it can't find any supported soundcards.
    I tried removing the drivers etc. for the SB-card and installed the Realtek ones again, but it's the same thing there, it shows up in the device manager (under sound - video & gaming-units) but windows still says it can't find an audio-device. My guess is that there's some kind of conflict between the Realtek-integrated card and the new one.
    Anyone got any ideas of what to do? :/
    Edit: Also, the computer keeps wanting to install the integrated soundcard, but I can't seem to find any way to turn it off in the BIOS :/ (I have an ABIT motherboard, don't know what type, can't seem to find the box for it). The BIOS is called "Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG"
    I have ofcourse tried to fully remove and reinstall the SB-drivers aswell, but no luck there. :/

    next time go into control panel click on sounds, click on record, right click any where in the record box and then put check marks in the boxes that say show disabled devices, and show disconnected devices. Those devices disappear when the boxes are not checked making your pc think there is no output sound.

  • Why are USB audio accessories being locked out of the iPod Touch 4G?

    It's very strange. First the camera kit was never allowed to work on neither the iPhone or iPod touch. I can understand that; the iPad has more reserve power. But since the analog inputs were deprecated on the iPhone 4G and iPod Touch 4G, there has been talk but no action on replacements allowing stereo audio input to these devices via USB.
    Now I've started to notice a pattern: USB audio accessories like Apogee's Jam and Fostex's Ar-4i originally were advertised as working on both devices, but as they are released, they become only available to the iPhone. Since these are self-powered devices, there doesn't appear to be any reason for this distinction. Does anyone know why this is so? Thanks.

    It's a mystery....

  • No Audio Output Device is installed Windows 8 - no audio device detected in Device Manager

    OS: Previously using Windows 8.1, now rolled back to Windows 8.
    HP Pavilion p7-1423w
    Product Number: H3Z92AA#ABA
    This just seemed to happen on its own follwing a standard Microsoft Windows update. Suddenly, there is a red X on the speaker displayed down in the taskbar area, with the message: No Audio Output Device is installed. This originally happened using Windows 8.1. I tried numerous suggestions and nothing seemed to relate to my problem. Checking the Device Manager is Windows is useless, because no audio device is even detected. Drivers cannot be updated when no device is recognized as existing. I checked in the computer setup prior to booting to Windows and I cannot find anywhere to turn audio on. I thought that possibly audio had been disabled, at the source. Either that or the onboard audio on the motherboard has completely failed.
    Hoping that a reset to factory settings would help, I backed up all of my data and proceeded with the reset. Now back to Windows 8, the same issue exists with the original factory settings. No audio output device detected.
    Can onboard audio be enabled somewhere in the setup? OR is my motherboard's onboard audio fried?

    Only option that I see in the BIOS is under Security.  Audio Device: Hidden or Available. It was set to available and I left it at that. Still no audio.
    Really? Nothing? This computer is one year old. Absolutely no reason for this to be happening. What a joke.

  • XtremeMusic and MediaSource 5 - NO supported audio device detected? HE

    I have had my X-Fi xtrememusic card for over a year now. no problems with it so far. runs great. BUT i installed a new motherboard and new cpu, etc.
    Now when I open mediasource player... and click on the SVM buttom or the AudioClean up button, the timescale, or cross fade buttons (essentially all of the buttons on the bottom) it gives me the Error: "This feature is not available because no supported Audio Device is detected."
    Mind you, the sound works.. i can play back music, it works great. AND via the console I CAN enable the SVM and it DOES work... but it seems like the media source player doesn't "see" that i have the xtrememusic card?
    I am running the latest and SAME drivers and applications (mediasource 5) as before. WinXP Pro service pack 3. THere are NO conflicts with any devices in device manager....
    Can someone help? I tried reinstalled the application, and driver... still same issue. I really like the audio cleanup when i listen to my recorded lectures and it takes away the hiss...
    Help?

  • No audio device detected - Lync 2013 Client

    I have a brand new Dell Latitude E6430 laptop running Windows 7 x64 SP1.  I installed Office 2013, including the Lync 2013 client.  We are running Lync 2013 server as well.  I have connected three different audio devices.
    Polycom CX600 phone.
    Plantronics Bluetooth headset.
    Logitech Video Camera  (The video on this works with Lync but no audio)
    I cannot get Lync to recognize either of them.  I can see them as devices in Windows but within Lync I only get a screen that says "We didn't find an audio device, which you need for calling".  Does anyone have any idea on how to resolve this issue? 
    It is driving me crazy.  Especially since it worked perfectly on my old laptop that had the same OS and patches, etc...
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Jamie

    Had the same issue.  For me it required uninstalling the Intel Widi device from device manager.  I think it was titled "wiusb" or something similar.  It was in its own group in device manager.  After uninstalling that, Lync would then
    recognize my mic/speakers again. 
    I had the exact same problem as everyone else.  I purchased two Dell Latitude E6530 laptops with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  Both laptops had the issue.  I uninstalled the WIUSB devices, restarted Lync, and Lync suddenly is able to detect devices...
    I refreshed device manager to see if the devices would auto-install again... but there weren't detected again.
    William Christenson
    This worked for me as well. Uninstalled the WIUSB and WIUSB Host Controller which was present under its own group, Exit Lync process and started again, it detected the Sound Devices again. Definitely a driver conflict but it was quick resolution to uninstall
    and get it working. No other issues with user as far as another device stopped working due to uninstallation of the devices.
    It does not look like any driver conflicts, all other software detects audio device perfectly (Skype, Recorder,softphone, Lync 2010 etc.), but only Lync 2013 client keeps saying ""we didn't find an audio device". it appears the faulty in Lync 2013 client

  • What are the audio device names on mac? (for use with afplay)

    The command 'afplay' has an option -d or --device that supposedly allows you to give an AUDIODEVICENAME. How can I find valid AUDIODEVICENAMEs? I tried system preferences and system profiler, but I get these errors:
    afplay -d "LINE OUT" x.wav -v
    warning: device 'LINE OUT' not found
    afplay -d "Line Out" x.wav -v
    warning: device 'Line Out' not found
    afplay -d Headphone x.wav -v
    warning: device 'Headphone' not found
    and I've tried every permutation of the names I could come up with.

    You need to define an audio device in a code/driver.
    Do you have any 3rd party audio devices connected?

  • Why Are My Audio Changes Not Saved?

    I'm using iMove HD 6.0.3. When I select a clip in the timeline viewer whose volume I want to change and I drag the slider to decrease the percentage the change is not recognized when I play the project again. I don't see an "apply" button anywhere or "add" or "update" but I assume there must be one somewhere because the way I'm doing it now isn't working. It's a very short project. Just 2 clips - the first one is 7 seconds the second is 12. Was just experimenting a little here.

    You don't say which Mac you're using, or how much RAM you have, etc.
    If your changes don't seem to have been recognised, try exiting iMovie and then restarting it. iMovie temporarily stores some video in a memory 'cache', and replays your video from there, without 'checking back' to see if there's a different version on the hard disc.
    You could also try using ⌘S to Save your project after adjusting the audio, thus forcing iMovie to 'pay attention' to what adjustments you've just made.
    Sometimes this happens just the first few times you use iMovie ..it then gets 'run in', and gets to know where and when to store and replay your material. Most programs need to build, er, what are they called, "pre-bindings" the first few times you use them, to create links with other software which they utilise or interact with. This may be one of those 'early times' in which your iMovie needs to get properly 'run in'.
    Seriously!

  • Why are multiple audio tracks causing one of the track levels to increase automatically when the other doesn't have an audio file in it?

    So I'm editing an interview and during subtitle sequences in the interview where there is no audio in the interview audio track, the levels automatically rise in the background music track.  Here's an illustration of my problem...
    http://i58.tinypic.com/2rh3atf.jpg
    I also troubleshooted by clicking the Solo button on the background music track and the music plays at the elevated level the whole way through when it's set to be the only track to play.  So for some reason, the interview audio track (when it's playing sound) is causing the background music track to decrease in level.  I get the same thing on exports.  Why is Premiere messing with my levels automatically?  No phone or chat support so I'm left asking the forums, thanks for the great customer service Adobe.

    Hi Richard,
    Appreciate you taking the time to help out.  There are absolutely no effects whatsoever on the audio or video tracks.

  • Why are my Airplay devices missing from the desktop Airplay menu bar?

    From my desktop, all devices are visible in iTunes and when I option-click volume.  All devices are visible from my IOS devcies.  But most devices are missing under the Airplay menu at top of my desktop. The only devices visible are Apple TV.  Thus, I cannot select multiple Airplay devices to play at once from my desktop, but am confined to selecting a single device through the option-click volume menu.
    Thanks all.

    Play audio from my iMac to multiple airplay devices (speakers).  I can do so through iTunes, but not outside of iTunes.  For example, I cannot stream audio to multiple devices from a browser.  Perhaps I am looking at the wrong menu. Thanks for inquiring.
    This thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21771160#21771160) seems to suggest in can only be done through iTunes.
