My laptop audio device has not working.. - Computers & Internet

have a look in device manager to see if there is a symbol over your audio device usually yellow in colour windows update usually finds basic drivers for audio have you disks to go with laptop

configuring a audio device is always little tricky....if you have the original CD that came with the notebook try to sue that....
before that uninstall all drivers for audio and use the Device Mgr to verify that the device is enabled and working.
go to HP/Compaq site and try to get the larest driver for the device...
I too had the issue( i use 1 Compaq Desktop and 1 HP laptop) on desktop i used a external audio adaptor and connetced my speakers to that, so now my audio device of the motherboard is not in use as no amount od driver installation did not enable it....use this adaptor...buy in ebay for 1$ or if in India buy for apox 50 - 75 in a PC shop
you too can use an external audio device but u will need to use a external speakers, on a laptop it's silly...but at least it works....
visit my site
www.sureshayyar.110mb.com for more details on the adventure that MS did some yrs ago to disable audio devices of many PCs....specialy WinXP users....Win2000 was working...(my laptop had Win2000) and it's not affected.....

pls revertback...

Please add more details but I can suggest,
Control Panel > Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices > Sounds and Audio Devices, and try to change your default device to Realtek HD Audio Output. If that doesn't work restart your computer (if your audio only stopped working today)

Hello,
You have to reinstall the audio driver when you format the OS. that is the reason for your OS not detecting the audio device. You will have your driver;s CD with you which you would have got when you bought the laptop.

Do you have windows XP or Vista?
Do you have sigmatell audio card?

When this happens go to start->run type in services.msc and press run.
Find Windows audio service. Right click and select properties. SElect start type "automatic" and click on start.
Audio should work.
Please leave your feedback if issue was solved or if you still have that problem

Hi you can try this:

From Start, go into Control Panel, then select Sounds, Speech & Audio devices, then Sounds and Audio Devices again.

On Volume tab, click on Advanced. Now choose Laptop stereo speakers. This may sort out the problem. Try the other options if they still don't work.

Try with the Device driver which has come along with the laptop , If not download from http://www.driverguide.com

Hi, this amy be because your audio card is loose or because your driver for the audio card is missing. so, i want you to go into device mangaer and tell me what you see under audio control or audio options.

please rate me thank you.

I'm not sure whether this is the exact same problem, as I was having, but mine just randomly quit while I was listening to music this morning. I got messages saying "No audio device installed", but when I went to device manager, all my audio devices said they were working properly. If this is the case with you, simply restart your computer. It may take a couple restarts, but this should work. My sound was back even before it finished shutting down.

If it helps anyone trying to get to the root of this problem, I am running XP on a Dell B130 laptop, with the following devices listed in Device Manager:
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC
Video Codecs
Hope this helps!
