Is this a desktop or laptop? Do you have your sound on a seperate card installed on the computer or is it attatched to the motherboard? usually if it is attatched to the motherboard the sound ports will be beside your monitor, keyboard, mouse port. make sure if the sound is a seperate card that it is pushed all the way into the slot into the motherboard. If it not fully seated this will also cause this problem.
you can do a manual scan for hardware changes in device manager by going to Computer-right click, select manage, then right click sound and select scan for hardware changes.
I am not sure but it could be your sound device driver. you may need to install the device driver for the sound card. This is a disk that come with the card or with the computer if the sound card was already an installed component. If you can't find the disk you can go to the Sound card manufacturers web site and look for the device driver and download it. After the download is complete you will need to do a restart and your sound should then work. After the reinstallation of Vista you need to install all additional drivers for other hardware. The Operating System (Vista)holds many drivers itself wich is how other components are working such as your mouse, monitor, video card,etc. but not always, which is why you need to go to the manufacturers web site and download it. I hope this helps.

This is a desktop. And how do I find out what kind of sound card I have?

I dont have no audio input to my computer i have a red x on the right corner what di i do about it do i need a new modem

If the driver is the problem you should download the Driver Genius software instead of searching at sound drivers websites. that program will search and install a driver compatible with your sound card and iT should solve the problem.

I had my sound quit after Vista updated twice. It would say that a 'Sound card was not installed' when I clicked on the speaker in the bottom right corner. Try this before anything else:
-Open Start menu, open control panel
-Scroll down to 'Device Manager', click 'View Hardware and Devices'
-Double click 'Sound, video and game controllers', then double click 'Realtek High Definition Audio'
-This will open the properties menu for your audio. At the top of the box, click 'driver'
-Finally, click the 'Disable' button, and then the 'Enable' button afterward to reset your audio system.




I hope that works for everyone.

I had the same problem. I reinstalled the audio driver and now it looks like everything should work now. My headphones work but I don't have any sound coming out of my speakers.

I can tell you what worked for me. First let me tell you what I tried before I found the solution. I cleaned my registry, I reinstalled the drivers while in safemode, I disabled and re-enabled, I deleted the lowerfilter and upperfilter from the registry, and none of it worked.

Finally I installed my webcam Logitech software again. After I rebooted from the install all of my sound drivers were working properly. I have no idea what my webcam software had to do with the disabling of my sound devices but somehow it did. So if you have any logitech software that you recently uninstalled, then reinstall it.

I fixed the sound on my windows vista laptop. I am pretty sure the problem arose from compatability issues between vista and adobe 7 because it worked after I installed adobe 8.
