Win Vista Audio Mixer, no device installed, no sound

Hi,
It started after running Windows update. The Audio Mixer by the sys tray displays a red rex on it. I've installed/Unistalled drivers many times with out success. Even the creative control pannel volume is grayed out.
Google's search revealed I am not the only one having this issue. Usually people sudgest to unistall and install, does not work on my particular case.
Sound card: X-FI Fatality Pro
Any help would be apriciated.
Thanks!

May I know how you reset BIOS? And your BIOS version is?
From your picture, it looks like audio driver conflicts, because there are many audio devices in the device managers.
There is a special reset hole, on the right side. BIOS Version E1773IMS.10D
It's not audio driver conflicts, the system is clean, only drivers from official MSI page.
This is bios side problem,OS reinstallation does not help, only bios reset or flash unlocked bios to be able to enable audio device again.

TS1538 iTunes 10.6.1.7 and Win/Vista Not Recognizing iPhone 4S!!!

I bought my first iPhone which is a 4s two weeks ago, and the latest iTunes did not recognize it, while Win/Vista recognized it on the drop down list and as a camera. The same iTunes was able to detect iPhone 4 which I bought for my family member. I then connected iPhone 4s to iTunes under WinXP, and it worked fine, so I was totally confused. I submitted the question to Apple iTunes Feedback, and did not receive any reply.
I have used iTunes many years with iPod and iTouch, and was happy with it, but this incident changes my perception of Apple completely!
Eventaully, I did more research on the web, and learnt during the iTunes installation, iTunes did not update the device or USB driver for iPhone 4s!!! It was solved, under Win/Vista, by updating the device driver by pointing to the iTunes directory. My conclusion is this has to be a bug of the iTunes installation process.
Very disappointed with Apple's lack of response. I actually planned to switch to use Mac, but this experience or rather Apple's effort to rectify the problem has changed my attitude towards Apple completely. It is a shame! Or is this their tactic to encourage Win users to migrate to Apple Mac???

I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

No sound on web videos like YouTube, Yahoo, etc but sound on them using Chrome. Sound works in Win Vista Home 32 bit and in media players. Just no audio using Firefox 4.0 Unninsdtalled and re installed Adobe Flash 10.2.513.1

No sound on web videos but sound if I download them and then play them using any media player ( I use VLC 1.1.2) MP3s play fine.
Audio fine on same videos using Chrome. Sound fine on Win Vista Home 32 bit No audio using Firefox 4. Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1
Have un installed and reinstalled it rebooting each time. Same Videos play fine in Chrome so problem must be in Firefox/flash combination.

"No Audio Device Installed" in Windows Vista.

Back in september 2011 I mysteriously lost my audio. I have a red X over my speaker icon in my system tray. When I put the cursor over the speaker icon I get this message "No Audio Device Installed". I went to the HP Customer web page and found the audio driver: Realtek High Definition Audio Version 6.0.1.5548 (sp37324.exe). I downloaded the program and saved it to my download folder. I put a short cut to it on my desktop. The only way I can get sound is whenever I turn on my computer I right click the desktop short cut and run as Administrator and install the program. My sound comes on. It works as long as I keep the computer on. Whenever I restart the computer I'm back to the red X over the speaker icon.
Now, Windows Update has sent me (on 3 occassions the last couple of weeks) an "optional update"...the Realtek High Definition Audio. Each time I download it and install it and do a restart,but I get the same red X over the speaker icon. It's Ground Hog Day!
My question: Is it safe to uninstall the Realtek High Definition Audio driver and reinstall the sp37324.exe without totally sending my audio into a Black Hole? BTW,I don't have a recovery disk.
I hope someone on this forum can help me. I've exhausted all avenues.
This question was solved.

Hi,
My suggetion: Totally uninstall it, reboot the machine and install it again. You can uninstall it from
   Control panel > Device Manager
   It should be under Sound ...
   Right click it & Uninstall

No audio device installed (Big iss

Hello all,?I have Vista Ultimate and am using an Audixy 4. After installing the new drivers today (SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_2_0002) I lost my sound. At the device manager i see that "This device is working properly."?When I go to Controle panel/Sound I see the device but I almost none of the commands work (Disable, Test, Configure) only the Properties work but there I cannot do anything useful. When I right click on the Sound icon at the bottom right of the screen and go to Open Volume Mixer, it says "No audio device installed"?Yersterday I also had this issue and reinstalled Vista with a fresh install which fixed the problem. Today I had the same thing again and decided to use my onboard sound card (RealTek, 623_Vista_APO), and nothing changed! I am still getting the same errors as with the Audixy 4. Is there any sollution to this Vista bug? :angry:?Thanks for reading

I am not sure why anyone is not replying with a resolution but I am having a similar problem. I am having a computer custom built and the Technician building it claims that Windows Vista will not recognize both the Soundblaster Xi Fi Extreme Music sound card and the MSI 8800GTX 768MB video card that I have chosen for the configuration. This is due to some conflict. The Technician claims the problem is the sound card and Creative needs to update drivers before this configuration can be done. Is this true? Can anyone explain why? I know Creative has Windows Vista drivers but apparently for this situation it does not resolve the conflict.

How to Install Win Vista -English Version on my Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ

Hello !
I am an Indian, I purchased *"Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ"* in France. I don't know French Language. I am an software guy.
One my family friend purchased it in on-line in 2009. It is good configuration but Bad-luck for me is, it contains *French keyboard and French Windows Vista*.
Anybody know how to solve this problem?
I am facing lot of problems while while writing software code by using this Frech keyboard because we use English- Qwerty keyboard.
*And Is it possible to install Toshiba's Windows-Vista -English version on it.*
I installed generic Win-Vista home edition on it , it is working but there is lot drivers missing, So I am not able to use my Laptop at minimum.
*Could you give me some information/suggestion to solve my problem.*
Thank you,
Regards,

It's not a problem to dowload all drivers needed either from Toshiba support sites or other good places.
You need at least Chipset+Audio+Video+Network+Wireless drivers and (maybe) some additional like Touchpad, Quick buttons, Bluetooth, Web camera.
In rare cases you can google drivers for unknown device (or just recognise it) through vendor/product IDs in device manager (VID_xxxx&PID_yyyy string in device properties).
Problem with keyboard is simple (in most cases): buy keyboard stickers like this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=english+Keyboard+STICKERS
It's not perfect solution but very cheap'n'fast.
Alternative solutions are laser engraved letters on your keyboard or new english keyboard from Toshiba service (I can't even imagine its price).
Guess you can't install *Toshiba's* Vista other than bundled with your laptop. But you can buy any boxed version of Windows meets your requirements, even Windows 7. There is no difference between *Toshiba's* and boxed version of Windows exept license limits, so I advise you to think about boxed Win7.

T400 No audio Device Installed

My T400 has all the latest drivers which say "working properly." However I am still without functioning speakers and microphone. When I go to volume mixer I see "No audio device installed." I have been trying to troubleshoot this for weeks and have been unsuccessful following various tips. I also called the brilliant phone support who couldn't even get my email down correctly to send me the self-guided troubleshooter or whatever they called. Does anyone have any suggestions I could try to correct this problem. Much thanks in advance!

If you have just installed XP then that could happen if you do not have SP3. If you did just install XP then update to SP3 and reinstall the audio drivers again. Otherwise we will need more info.

Can I install win 8 64 bit OS on dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

I just purchased the HP Pavilliom 500 destop and would like to upgrade my laptop with desktop OS.
Can I install my hp Pavilion 500 PC win 8 64 bit OS on my hp pavillion dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

Hi Ibdman,
You cannot use the Pavilion 500 desktop recovery disks to upgrade the operating system on your HP laptop.
You would have to purchase either: a Win 8 retail upgrade or full install disc to change the operating system on your laptop.
If you are considering upgrading your laptop you should consider Win 7 64 bit instead of Win 8.

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.

New MacBook Pro Unibody Jun 2011 - No Audio Device / No Output Device Installed. Please Help.

Dear All,
I have installed OSX Lion on the 20th July 2011 and the problem started with the audio device installed. Itunes wont even play and iDVD and you tube would work without audio. I have tried everything from system diagnostic re-booting back to original snow leopard on 10.6.7 including taking it for service. The audio works intermittently when I re-start my MacBook but eventually disappears back to square one. Until restarted again.
I am still under my 90 days from purchase date and the problem is I am no longer in London where I originally purchased the MacBook from - I moved to Delhi, India with my family and they don't have geniuses here only local service/ technicians who already tried fixing the problem.
Very disappointed after spending nearly £1,600.00 for this.
I don't want to go back to the local service centre for them to restart my MacBook to prove audio device is working.
Is there any other option for me like refund or replacement?
Many Thanks
Shah

Dear Lex,
Thank you for your advice above.
I have updated latest iTunes 10.4.1(10) 64 bit.
I have updated latest OSX Lion: 10.7.1 Build 11B26
Still the problem occurs. When laptop restarts the sound stays for 5-10 min before shutting down intermittently. In iTunes the music will not even run - other applications such as YouTube - it will run but no sound.
I have tried everything now and I am certain it must be a software connected issue I am experiencing only.
Please can you help.
Many Thanks

HP Officejet 8500 Pro A909n-Installed Win 8.1- tried HP Sol Ctr&says "device install not complete"

I was shocked when I was trying to do my reports yesterday, after upgrading to Win 8.1 and finding the driver for my OJ 8500 WILL NOT WORK in printing off ADOBE which lead to me trying to open the HP Solution Center and it just pops up a box that says HP Solution Center cannot run because device install NOT COMPLETE. I am losing time and money trying to figure out what I THOUGHT WAS SURE to be ADDRESSED BY HP. I am upgrading the entire office in another state....is this going to be an ongoing issue? Is there a better printer solution which keeps up with the operating systems? Please help.

Hi Mtnman,
I understand you're having issues with the Solution Center program after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues but I will do my best to help.
I'd like you to uninstall your HP printer software (if you have an HP computer, make sure you are only removing HP printer software from the computer) and once it's been completely removed we will want to attempt to reinstall. To reinstall the software I'd like you to download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard to get the software downloaded and reinstalled.
Hope this helps, have a great day!
