Sound card if it's an incompatible sound card, what do i do because, before i installed the sound card, my sound would not play, it would say no audio device had been installed.

its a your sound card problem. you get new pci sound card (8$) & install it

i have the same problem. My wild guess is incompatible dj software and numark drivers. i am using vdj pro 7 but i tried to downgrade to 5.02. and use single output ---------- headphones -------------- two cards, and assigned them to numark usb audio device, and the sounds goes thru my mixer. but when i use the vdj version 7 or higher cannot produce a quality sound. it got some noise coming out.

Generally the cause of this kind of error varies from case to the next.

What kind of file are you trying to play? That's the first thing. WMP won't play everything. And if it is say, an .rm or .qt file, forget it.

The first thing I would do is reboot the system.

[1] There is a thing called chip creep where the contacts of a device get too hot and the cause the device to 'creep' out of it's slot.

[2] The driver files may be corrupted and need to be re-installed.

[3] Check Device Manager and see if the sound device is functioning properly at all. There could be a resource [IRQ] conflict-something that is rare nowadays but still does happen-in which case you need to change the IO address.

[4] You may have incompatible audio applications running or need a codec for the file you are trying to play; or the file may NOT in fact be a genuine audio file [DELETE IT IF IT ISN'T!].

It is either that the device is bad or the driver not instal, first get the driver re-install. if this doest not solve the problem get a new sound Card

First check if a windows machine by going to start/control panel/sound and audio devices and see if a sound card is listed. Check the setting under hardware and audio. You need two essentials to play audio files. You need a sound card and the software to play audio files. Most desktop computers come with some type of sound card but you can buy one from a local "Best Buys", "Walmart" online or computer store. They are relatively inexpensive and can be installed as a DIY in an open PCI slot inside the back of your machine or take it to a computer store. Windows Media Player comes with Windows and Apple's Quick time with Macs so that should take care of the player end of things. Hope this helps out. Give me some feedback if it does. Thanks

Please check whether the device drivers for your Audio Hardware is installed or not. The process is
Start>Run>devmgmt.msc (type and click ok or press enter)
Now find your audio device and check whether drivers for the same are installed or not...
If the device shows mark of exclamation (!) or interrogation (?) beside it, please install drivers for it.
Try and pls reply.

Have you installed KB888111 and then installed audio driver. If not then uninstall driver, install KB888111 and then re-install

i can install sound device

hey kulandaivelu,

The problem occurs simply because you don't have the specific driver for your sound card. If you have the installation cd of your sound card, please install it. Otherwise, you specify the model of you sound card. Maybe i could help you on downloading the drivers needed for the the given device.

Hi Hughdog
well, Biostar mobos are know for a lot issues, but depending too, on the OS, windows XP I presume, go on safe mode, and uninstall all audio drivers, and disable on the BIOS audio. then start the PC, and install the audio card. or if is a internal audio reenable again, redetec the drivers, and install them according to the CD and drivers. you should see the play device now and play music correctly.
good luck
