Vista Tutorial - No Sound; hardware & drivers appear okay

Hello Vista Hardware Gurus,

I recently reinstalled Vista Home Premium over an existing installation to
fix some networking problems. The network is now working, but I lost all
audio. Speakers are correctly connected and turned on (and I tried another
set of speakers just in case). Device Manager reports no problem (SigmaTel
High Definition Audio CODEC is the only item under Sound, video and game
controllers; I uninstalled and reinstalled it just to be sure).

Any suggestions?

Nevet,

Right click on the speaker icon in the task try area , and in the window
right click an empty space and select both Show Disabled Devices and Show
Disconnected Devices. Determine whether anything shows up that you can
enable. You may have to click around, if that doesn't work, to find an
alternative approach and fix.

In addition, check the Sound area in Control Panel to confirm that all the
settings there are set to work as you expect.

If all else fails, try reinstalling the drivers for the sound card, not just
uninstalling the sound card and rebooting. Post back on results.

Feddy, You hit it, my sound card was disabled, so no audio even though the
CODEC and speakers were fine. Thanks much!

Hi,

In my laptop the voulumeicon is X marked and when I right clicked in the
playback device it shows that no audio device is installed and the recording
also shows the same thing. I am using windows vista with toshiba portege M600.
I am not getting any sounds, Please help me to correct this issue.

Install your sound drivers from the utility disc that came with your
computer. If you don't have one, then check with your manufacturer's
website and get the drivers from there.
