"no audio output device is installed"

[jdwilsonjd]

This is a new computer, it came with Vista home premium.

Sound worked fine, but I think my 4 year old managed to uninstall or disable something, because the speaker icon has a nice red X on it, and the Phrase "no audio output device is installed" pops up when I put my cursor on it.

I have tried all the HP supplied tools I can find, and have tried reinstalling the drivers etc., to no avail.

Any ideas?

These forums have always b een the source for my fixes, so I finally decided to actually join!

Hi jdwilsonjd,

sorry for not getting back to you earlier

Plesae can you tell me a bit more about your PC.

The make, Model...etc...

What type and version of Sound Card and Driver is installed?

Try RadarSync to tell you if there is a newer driver for your sound card

regards

Steve
