I have recently installed Vista Business on my Intel motherboard that comes with a SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC 6.10 version. I was working fine, but later on due to a power cut when i restarted my pc, i was getting an error message saying that "no audio output device installed". I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the audio drivers but that doesnt seem to work. Need your guidance here.
I think that, microsoft has recently launched a newer version of the driver for the exact sound card that you have. And i did install it on my pc as well, but after its installation, the sound stopped working. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled the old drivers, but it didnt work either. So, in the end I tried the System Restore and got back to a time when the sound was working fine. This method really worked for me, and i hope that it will solve your issue as well.
If the above solution didnt work, the try to follow the below method to resolve this issue:
- First of all right click on "my computer" and then click on "properties" then click on Hardware Tab and then open Device Manager.
- After that you have to click on the “+” button which is listed next to Sound, video and game controllers and a drop down menu will appear.
- Here you have to check the status of any device that is listed in the same category by right-clicking on that device, clicking Properties, and then under the General tab check what it says under “Device status”. Let us know what the status was.
- If you found any problems especially for the device checked under the “Device status” then immediately click on update drivers on that same device by right-clicking and then clicking Update Driver Software.
- The driver will be found from your computer or either from the internet and will get installed in your pc.
