Help Fix My Laptop Sound by ekpriobong(m): 6:18pm On Jul 19, 2011 |
Hi, I turned on my computer a couple of days ago and I found that my volume wasn't working. Instead, there was a red x next ot my speker on my taskbar, and when I moused over it it said, "No Audio Output Deivce is installed". I went over to device manager and checked under "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers" and my audio driver was completely missing! No yellow question mark next to it, nothing at all. So I go to the HP website to download the driver and I can't install it, instead I get this error message saying "Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the device for this driver." I've emailed HP support about this and although they were trying to be helpful, I got nowhere with them. I even tried a full system restore, and the problem still persists. Help, I'm stumped! |

Let your system download the driver via device manager and scan for hardware changes. |

ekpriobong: With the above I assume you're ok to follow, On your next reply please mention Laptop model for example HP 530 Windows Vista. Go to HP website select your make and model and operating system type Look for audio drivers until you found Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver After installing the above mentioned driver, rebooted the computer and go to device manager, Right Clicked on the device found under Sound and Video with exclamation, right clicked on it and update the driver. If no joy go to HP website and download the audio drivers for example Realteak or Conexant After that restart your computer then test. If no joy get back to us I provide professional service in my area and will be grateful if a comment can be left on my facebook regardless of the outcome. Please search for Deji Sunday |

Its so clear that you have a hardware problem, something must have disconnected or lost contact from somewhere when u turned your system. Dont bother yourself looking for drivers its not the problem. |
Re: Help Fix My Laptop Sound by ekpriobong(m): 7:12pm On Jul 21, 2011 |
@Deji, thanks for your concern pls. The model of the laptop is HP PAVILION DV6700 and is running on Windows Vista. I've tried all possible drivers related to it but to no avail. The system has not fell before or even opened. |
Re: Help Fix My Laptop Sound by ekpriobong(m): 7:16pm On Jul 21, 2011 |
Nothing like Sound or anything related to it is found under Device Manager. As the sound seized, everything connected to it in the Device Manager dissappeared. Pls try for me. |

You can restore windows to a previous date that you know the sound works this process is called system restore. To perform system restore , Do the following: 1. Click start 2. Click on All Programs or programs depending on which operating system you are using. 3. Click on Accessories 4. Click on System Tools 5. Click on System Restore The next Windows that pops up just click next, You will see a calender, Select any of the days in Bold, Assuming your sound was working this week Monday 18 July then choose 15 or 16 July and click next. The computer will restart upon completion. Hope this helps. |
