"No Audio Output Device is installed"?
I had iTunes running last night when the LiveUpdate program restarted my
laptop and when I turned everything on this morning, I was informed that I have no audio devices installed. What is going on? |

Mallory,
In Device Manager, open the Properties of your sound device, and note what error messages are displayed. The Properties section typically provides some guidance as to what corrective action to take. Follow any advice provided. In addition, if all else fails, you can remove the sound card in Device Manager, thus allowing Windows to reinstall it when you reboot. This step often fixes problems such as you have. Post back if none of these suggestions does anything. We'll try to devise another approach. -- freddy "Mallory" wrote: I had iTunes running last night when the LiveUpdate program restarted my laptop and when I turned everything on this morning, I was informed that I have no audio devices installed.

"No Audio Output Device is installed"?
I recently installed Vista Ultimate on my computer. It has been a nightmare
and Microsoft customer service has absolutely sucked. Essentially, after installing VU, I now have to upgrade my Office (another $400) and somehow when a Microsoft Customer Service rep was performing an external audit on my system, he removed my audio device. I don't know how to reinstall the device. When I go on line and download the noted driver (simatel HiDef Audio CODEC), it is noted as working properly. I can't figure it out and neither can Microsoft. Anyone have any ideas? "Cal Bear '66" wrote: What is your audio adapter in Control Panel Device Manager, (expand Sound, video and game controllers)?

delete driver files) and reboot before you tried to install the downloaded driver files? -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "IWANTANAPPLE" wrote in message ...

I had not done this, but will try it. I'll try anything. I am so disappointed
in Vista Ultimate and Microsoft, I placed an order for an Apple today. This machine will now just be a back up....if it ever works again. I'll let you know how it worked out.

I am having the same problem and also have SigmaTel. I just ran the
uninstall including selecting the check box, rebooted - saw Vista (32 bit) install the missing bits. Then I downloaded the SigmaTel driver for Vista from Dell, installed it and rebooted. It still says it cannot play music files because of an audio device problem. Under 'services' Windows Audio & Windows Audio Endpoint Builder cannot be started -The first because of dependency on the second and that one because of "Error 0x80070003: The system cannot find the path specified."
