When I checked in the device manger there is no any device with Name sound,game and controller.In the volume icon it is crossed with X and it show that no audio output device is installed. When I right clicked in the plackback as well as in the recording it shows that no audio device are installed. My laptopmodel is toshiba portege M600 and I am using Windows Vista Enterprise. You need to install the sound drivers from your drivers CD/DVD The M600 isn't even listed on Toshiba's US site. Was the computer bought somewhere else? https://www.toshiba-india.com/categories.aspx Click on 'Downloads' (left side column) and then select your type and model.. the drivers will show as a listing in the bottom half of the web page. Search through the list for the drivers you require.. Before I asked the OP, I tried that site on a guess and looked in downloads. It didn't (and still doesn't) work in Firefox.... just checked it in IE and it works FINE. |

Vista sound playback devices missing speaker
thank you sooo much!!! I have recently added Skype to my system and could not
get the audio to work, so i disabled and have spent the past two days trying to find the answer to get my audio back!!! Thank you so much!!! This was extremely helpful!

On the Playback tab of Sound, right-click an empty spot of the window, and put a checkmark next to "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices". From there, if Speakers shows up, right-click Speakers to enable. "Ringfinger" wrote in message ... well, I did everything as stated. The Realtek auido program works now, can detect that I plugged in a speaker, but other than that, no dice. Does not work, still the X over the speaker icon. I uninstatlled reinstalled, rebooted, etc. No dice. I am losing it here. It did start after it hibernated I am sure, now what? "Cal Bear '66" wrote: From the experiences of another user with the Realtek HD Audio drivers: It appears that you have to run the install twice. The first install will remove the older drivers. Then a reboot is required. Then you have to run the driver install again and reboot. I always uninstall the device first in Device Manager (and check the box to remove driver files). Uninstall the Realtek Audio Manager in Control Panel Programs and Features. Windows re-installs it's generic drivers during this uninstall, and just to be safe I go back to Device Manager and again uninstall the audio adapter. Reboot. Install the new Realtek drivers, and reboot again. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "Ringfinger" wrote in message ... I have am ACER Aspire AST180. The soundcard is integrated. The driver I downloaded last I believe was the Realtek HD Audio one. That is at least what I remember. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver when this problem first appeared, thought it would fix it, but no. Any ideas? Very frustrating. I have done everything I have seen on these boards. "dean-dean" wrote: If you post your computer make and model name/number, perhaps someone can help you find the Vista compatible sound driver that you need. Your speaker icon is indicating that it's using perhaps just the Microsoft generic driver, which is incomplete, and needs the sound driver specific to your computer to work. "BK12" wrote in message ... Thank You for trying to help me Cal Bear '66 but that also does not help me. Im now thinking that i should bring my laptop in to Best Buy to get fixed; Thanks for the help. "Cal Bear '66" wrote: Do you know what audio adapter your PC has? Go to Control Panel Device Manager and look under Sound, video and game controllers. Right click and select Properties. Or go to your PC's or motherboard manufacturer's web site and look for updated audio drivers or see if you can find the manufacturer of your audio adapter and go to their site and download the latest Vista drivers. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "BK12" wrote in message ... After installing Vista Home Premium version i was and still am unable to hear sound and every time i put my cursor over the speaker icon it says that there is no Audio Output Device installed. I also tried what you have posted but it seems that nothing is working. I'm thinking of bringing my computer in to get it fixed but if you have any ideas of what to do it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. "dean-dean" wrote: Ooops.

If I go to the sound icon in Control Panel, there is only an SPDIF playback device showing, and no speaker option. I am not using the SPDIF port on the soundcard, but have my speakers connected to the other plugs (analog I think they are?) I have tried updating the driver with no luck. Any suggestions? |
