No Audio Output Device Installed

I know this is a repetitive topic, but I can not seem to figure this one out.

It is a HP Laptop DV9815nr. I do not know much about it as it is not mine, but the problem is the audio was cutting out and now there is nothing. The computer is not recognizing any type of audio device installed. Even in Device Manager, there is no option for Sound, game and controllers. I have tried downloading the driver and installing, but no luck there.

No viruses and no other problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

Zach

Make sure that the sound is Enabled int he bios, If not the Device Manager wont pick up any on Bord sound cards.

Went to make sure it was enabled, but didn't see where, but when it restarted it was back on. I updated the driver while it was there and there was an update. Any ideas why it would be random like that?

Re: No Audio Output Device Installed

If its still under warranty, take it back and get it fixed it sounds more like a hardware problem.

It isn't under warranty anymore, and I totally agree with you. The warranty ran out maybe a week or two before the problem started. Seems like that is how it always happens.

I wish it worked. I hadn't tried to play any kind of sound since it happened and now that I did it gives an error message saying something like Windows can not play this file because your sound card is in use by another program or it is not working properly.
