No audio output devise installed - Computers & Internet

Have you checked that it is selected as an output device in the control panel. Also check that the drivers are correctly installed in device manager, there should be no yellow icons.

You can download the audio and device drivers from Dell WEB site, the support download page. Make sure you select your model desktop or laptop, better still, type in the Service Tag number, it is printed on the label on the bottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Tag label is missing then go into the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages, the Service Tag number will be displayed). This will open the page where the specific drivers for your model computer are located. Also make sure you select the Windows of the drivers for your Windows operating system.

Hello,

I guess you should try installing the audo drivers for your laptop.

You need to find the audio driver software, for your computer. try searching the official site of the computers manufacturer (with google.com), then enter the official site, click support, then find your pc model. Then download the Audio Driver, install it, restart the system and it's solved.
If you can't do it yourself, ask a PC Service Shop, it's a process that takes a half-hour. Dont Worry!!

Good Luck!!

install the audio devise proparly check manul and step by step install pins , and if you have not install the sound driver pls install the dirver to use the motherboard cd ........ok

Insert the audio & sound driver cd in your cd-dvd rom. Then you can install the audio driver.

You'll want to check your Device Manager to verify that it sees a sound card installed. This can be done by right clicking the "My Computer" icon, and selecting manage. Now on the left side, click device manager. Scroll down on the right side to the sound entries. Verify that none of the icons have a yellow exclamation mark next to them. If they do, then windows is having trouble finding drivers or possibly having troubles with another card conflicting with it. If this is the case, then you can go to hp.com (I know you have a compaq, but HP is compaq now), and click search for drivers. Input your computer model number, and locate the audio drivers. Then just reinstall them.

Let me know if I can clarify this any more,
