No active mixer devices available



Issue


I'm facing some serious issue with my PC, my volume control will not open simply. My system notifies me, that there is no active mixer devices available an that it is needed to install the mixer device at the add hardware in the control panel.

Solution


The source of this error lies in the Windows Audio Service, which usually starts automatically when the sound card is installed. However, in this case the service was turned off. Simply refer to the instructions below to reactivate the Windows Audio service.
  • Click on Start and Run
  • Type


services.msc
  • Scroll down to Windows Audio in the right-hand column and double-click on it
  • At this point check that the Startup Type is set to Automatic and click on the Start button under Service Status.
  • The Windows Audio service will restart and the problem should be solved.
