Hi I just installed the windows vista upgrade, but I have some troubles, Im
working with a Hp L2000 laptop, but I cant hear any audio, when I click on
the speaker icon I get a message "NO AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE IS INSTALLED" can
somebody help me with this problem???

Hi,
I had a similar problem with the onboard SigmaTel sound on my Dell desktop,
you will need to find out which sound card you have and manually find the
drivers for vista.

if there are no vista drivers available, you may be able to use XP drivers....

on the 64 bit Vista i used the 64-Bit XP drivers to get my sound going, it
may work for yours too...

You could open the owner's manual and see if it
gives any technical specifications there. If
not in the owner's manual, next you could try
typing www.hp.com and see what information is
available on the HP web site.

Or, you could just whine and ask "how can i find
wich sound card do i have?"

Use a little initiative! Put those little gray
cells that prevent your skull from collapsing to
work. It really doesn't hurt when you utilize
those little gray cells and try to figure things
out!

Try the HP Website, search your model number and you may find the correct
drivers there, alternatively look at the specification and try to google the
manufacturers website.

I had this problem too. I don't know if you are using 64bit or x86, but I
installed a clean version of x86 (despite the fact I have an AMD64). Anyway,
I fixed the problem by uninstalling Vista and reloading XP. Then, instead of
a clean Vista install, I did an upgrade to Vista. Now I have sound, but the
driver for the CPU is funky. Windows sees my chip is 944MB instead of 2GB.
The display flickers at times too, but it all works. YEAH!!!

Overall I am quite pleased with the shape this OS is in for a beta. It's
been worth the wait.

I have the same computer and had same message. I installed the latest driver for XP and got audio. At first it wouldnt install but after about 4 attempts it finally installed and I had audio. unce I got the driver installed I went to the vista update and wouldnt you know it it told me that there was an update

I forgot to say that I got the driver from the HP website
