Dell and "no audio output device installed" after Vista upgrade
Hi,
I wanted to post a solution that hopefully will help alot of folks. I have a Dell 1501 laptop that came with Vista Home Basic. I upgraded to Vista Home Premium and suddenly the sound wouldnt work. I would get the message that "no audio output device was installed" even though there was one installed, and the device manager/sound was telling me that the sound card was working. I have a SigmaTel High Def Audio CODEC. Here's how I fixed it. I went to this page and downloaded this driver: http://www.support.dell.com/support/...&fileid=195629 I restarted my computer and now the sound works fine again! Hope this helps. |

YEH, the driver works but the sorround sound quality and enhancements of the Audio Codecs are gone . Please help me in that, as DELL has replaced 3 of my systems and now ultimately the buck is on VISTA as per the TECH service team of ESTEEMEEED DELL -- ''''Swami'''' "silksoul4u" wrote: Hi, I wanted to post a solution that hopefully will help alot of folks.

Dell and "no audio output device installed" after Vista upgrade
Hi, I had exactly the same problem that you had and I have been trying for the past 3 days to solve it. I downloaded a couple of SigmatelDrivers (that dell prescribed) and also the Creative Soundblaster Audigy that Dell shipped. None of them worked. Then I looked at your post and thought this should fix it. Since mine is exactly the same problem as your... It stopped working after I upgraded to Vista premium. Unfortunately it isn't still working for me. Can anyone please help me Regards Saket silksoul4u;2614861 Wrote: Hi, I wanted to post a solution that hopefully will help alot of folks.

Dell and "no audio output device installed" after Vista upgrade
My audio worked fine until Vista Service Pack 1. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a Sigma Tel High Definition Audio CODEC driver. Apparently Sigma Tel was bought out by another company. Dell says that Windows should have a new driver, and Windows says that Dell should have a new driver. I have tried numerous drivers without success. Does anyone have a solution? -- theron ------------------------------------------------------------------------ theron's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/theron.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/694159.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
