Hello Vista Hardware Gurus,

I recently reinstalled Vista Home Premium over an existing installation to
fix some networking problems. The network is now working, but I lost all
audio. Speakers are correctly connected and turned on (and I tried another
set of speakers just in case). Device Manager reports no problem (SigmaTel
High Definition Audio CODEC is the only item under Sound, video and game
controllers; I uninstalled and reinstalled it just to be sure).

Any suggestions?

Nevet,

Right click on the speaker icon in the task try area , and in the window
right click an empty space and select both Show Disabled Devices and Show
Disconnected Devices. Determine whether anything shows up that you can
enable. You may have to click around, if that doesn't work, to find an
alternative approach and fix.

In addition, check the Sound area in Control Panel to confirm that all the
settings there are set to work as you expect.

If all else fails, try reinstalling the drivers for the sound card, not just
uninstalling the sound card and rebooting. Post back on results.

Feddy, You hit it, my sound card was disabled, so no audio even though the
CODEC and speakers were fine. Thanks much!

Right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area (lower right corner of
the screen -- next to the time) and select "Playback Devices" or "Recording
Devices" in the Playback window or the Recording window, right click again and
select both "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices".

What, again, is your exact problem?

Thanks for the reply.
The problem WAS that the sound device seems correctly installed, but no
application is able to output sound.
Only media player and media center see the problem and send me to the link I
posted.
In any case, after 3 days of time lost in trying to fix with forum, google,
Microsoft and Dell, I reinstalled the system since I work using audio.
I think you should NEVER get updates for devices from Winupdate or have a
complete pc backup before trying.

Bye

Hi,

In my laptop the voulumeicon is X marked and when I right clicked in the
playback device it shows that no audio device is installed and the recording
also shows the same thing. I am using windows vista with toshiba portege M600.
I am not getting any sounds, Please help me to correct this issue.

Install your sound drivers from the utility disc that came with your
computer. If you don't have one, then check with your manufacturer's
website and get the drivers from there.
