No Audio Output Device is Installed

[Guest]

MI haven't been on my Laptop for awhile but today when I tried to play
something in Windows media player there was no sound. The sound icon at the
bottom of the computer has an red X through it and says "No audio output
device is installed". I'm a little computer eliterate so im not sure what to
do in this case. Any suggestions?

Download and install the Vista drivers for your sound card, what make and
model notebook do you have?

That's the link to the Vista audio driver for your notebook (direct
download)

You may need to star here:

Choose your appropriate model, then when redirected, choose your appropriate
operating system, then download the driver for audio. Avoid getting
optional driver updates from Windows Update, if one is available from your
computer or hardware manufacturer.

I have the same problem with my Pavilion DV1760BR. I have tried to install a
sound drive from HP site and from Windows Update, there is an icon and at
Control Panel the message is that the driver is OK, but I have no sound. HP
Technical Suport said that it can be a phisical failure. Does anyone have a
similar situation?

Thank you!

Try this after your sound driver is installed. Right-click the Volume icon,
and choose Playback Devices. On the Playback 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 the Speakers icon to enable.

Then Double-click the Speakers icon. On the Enhancements tab, put a check
next to "Disable all sound effects", then click Apply. On the Advanced tab,
click on Restore Defaults, and make sure both check-boxes, under Exclusive
Mode, do have a check mark. (Apply, OK).

Also, make sure you get the friver from HP. I believe it's the Conexant
High-Definition Audio Driver, found here:

Yes, it is the COnexant High-Definition Audio Driver.

I have just performed all your instructions... No success...

Thank you very much for your support, if you have any other suggestion I
would appreciate.
