No Sound; hardware & drivers appear okay
Hello Vista Hardware Gurus,
I recently reinstalled Vista Home Premium over an existing installation to fix some networking problems. The network is now working, but I lost all audio. Speakers are correctly connected and turned on (and I tried another set of speakers just in case). Device Manager reports no problem (SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC is the only item under Sound, video and game controllers; I uninstalled and reinstalled it just to be sure). Any suggestions? --Nevet |

Nevet,
Right click on the speaker icon in the task try area , and in the window right click an empty space and select both Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices. Determine whether anything shows up that you can enable. You may have to click around, if that doesn't work, to find an alternative approach and fix. In addition, check the Sound area in Control Panel to confirm that all the settings there are set to work as you expect. If all else fails, try reinstalling the drivers for the sound card, not just uninstalling the sound card and rebooting. Post back on results. -- freddy "Nevet" wrote: Hello Vista Hardware Gurus, I recently reinstalled Vista Home Premium over an existing installation to fix some networking problems.

Feddy, You hit it, my sound card was disabled, so no audio even though the
CODEC and speakers were fine. Thanks much!

Right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area (lower right corner of
the screen -- next to the time) and select "Playback Devices" or "Recording Devices" in the Playback window or the Recording window, right click again and select both "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices". What, again, is your exact problem? I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "Marcello Gorlani" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the reply.
The problem WAS that the sound device seems correctly installed, but no application is able to output sound. Only media player and media center see the problem and send me to the link I posted. In any case, after 3 days of time lost in trying to fix with forum, google, Microsoft and Dell, I reinstalled the system since I work using audio. I think you should NEVER get updates for devices from Winupdate or have a complete pc backup before trying.

If you don't have one, then check with your manufacturer's website and get the drivers from there. DDW -- Reply via this group only All email will be rejected |
