    "No Audio Output Device is installed"

    I did another restart of my Vista to remove constipation, etc. This time I
    have no sound. it says "No Audio Output Device is installed". How do I get
    sound back on my Acer 5610 laptop?

    Install the drivers. Get them from Acer's website for your specific model
    laptop. Install all drivers, including the chipset, as well as any
    laptop-specific software such as for power management.

    Thanks. I'll try that. It's very frustrating to have to deal with things
    like this - my XP Pro on my old laptop stays like I leave it. But my Vista
    Home Premium frequently does me little favors like this. Real time wasters.

    After doing a RegCure, Reg Defrag and some MS Updates on my new HP
    Laptop I got this same problem. Whatever I tried did not work,
    including going to HP for the audio driver, soooo I just went to the
    Windows driver error selection and let Windows fix the problem on-line.
    It solved everything instantly. Interestingly enough when I was trying
    to fix the problem I noticed in Hardware Devices that the audio drive
    was not to be found and in other inspections it was alive and working
    properly.

    DO NOT use registry cleaners! See this:
