Vista sound playback devices missing speaker
I just bought a new PC and there is no sound coming out. 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? |

Try this. Right-click the Sound icon in the notification area, and choose
Playback Devices. On the Recording 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. "Victag" wrote in message oups.com... I just bought a new PC and there is no sound coming out.

Vista sound playback devices missing speaker
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.

I have the same exact problem, except my PC had Vista when I bought it. The
sound worked for 3 months, I made no changes, then one day I get the same error as BK12. I have tried everything to no avail, can anyone please help as I hate to bring this in to Best Buy and pay them for a 2 second fix. Please, please help us.

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!

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.
