Do you have the speaker icon on the lower right? If so, check to see if sound is "muted" (turned off) . If the sound is turned-on it will have two sound waves on the right of the icon. If muted it will have a circle with a slash added to the icon. If muted click on the icon then click the speaker in the new window. Check the sound by changing the volume - it will beep when you change the volume.

If the above did not fix the problem you need to download and reinstall the sound card driver.

Hai pjane. Thanks for guiding me step by step in installing the driver of sound. I was facing the probolem of not getting any volume with the indication"no audio output device installed" since the past one day. I tried various options and failed and infact was planning to go to the service centre tomorrow morning, for getting it rectified. I have bought my laptop from abroad and it is not even an year that it was purchased. Was feeling extremely sad in seeing the non-functiioning of the volume in the laptoop. Anyway , once again thanks for your guidance and keep it up. Good luck...Priya

Hello,
I also receive the message: No audio device is installed. I have been having this problem for months now.
I executed this procedure, but when it was attempting to install the driver I received message "Driver installation failed, could not find the MEDIA for this driver."
In Device Manager - No sound devices are listed at all, bottom right sound Icon has a red X just to the right of the sound icon. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

My easy fix on DELL LATITIDE with VISTA:
Control Manager -> Device Manager -> Sounds -> High Defintion Audio Device
Disable and then Enable.

sando, on Thursday 30 October 2008 à 13:22:30
It would help if you read the post of the OP a tad more carefully. Your advice presupposes the possibility of selecting any device in the device manager. In the OP's case, there is a cross, which means there is no audio device installed at all, let alone a possibility to select it.

Anyway, Recovery Manager is proprietary software AFAIK, so a more general approach to fix this problem is the following (for Vista, possibly also XP):
Go to Device Manager (Start > Run > Type 'devmgmt.msc' without the quotes > Press Enter)
In Device Manager, go to Action > Scan for Hardware Changes. This might very well reinstall your audio card (or any other device Windows has managed to make disappear).

Cheers, sando AKA JJ

I also tried the "easy" fix and it worked great.

I have a Toshiba laptop with Realtek sound. I got the same msg that "No Audio device was found" so I simply went into my Control Panel, switched to Classic View, and opened the Device Manager. Then I opened the Sound folder, clicked on the Realtek and told it to DISABLE, then ENABLE. Problem solved.

Exactly, that is what I mean: these are different problems. Your solution might work if you get "No Audio device was found". However, that is a different message from "no audio output device installed". IN that case, you should reinstall your device drivers, e.g. via 'Scan for Hardware Changes' (refer to previous post).

Cheers, sando.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the posts on this. I have a Toshiba Satellite U 300, running Vista. I have the awful red cross icon over the loudspeaker in the bottom right of the screen, and the message "No audio output device is installed". (Definitely "not installed", as opposed to "not found" - I checked).
I haven't got the sound muted - I checked that too.

However....
When I go to Device Manager, I don't have the Sound entry AT ALL - it has vanished. So I can't uninstall and reinstall my sound drivers, or any of the other clever things suggested here - to my ignorant eye it seems as if the computer has forgotten it ever had a sound card.
ANY help gratefully received!!!
jo
