I have tried everything, I cant even format my HDD, which I know is not related to the audio problem but still frustrating. No success System Specs: Acer Aspire M5620 Intel Core 2 quad CPU 2.4 GHZ each Acer proprietary motherboard and bios Has anyone EVER fixed this problem. Cant remember the exact error code it gives me. WHY DOES MY PC SAY NO AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE INSTALLED INSTALLTry multiple times, Will not install on this system. Try to format the HDD and install Windows XP. No success 9) Still have a copy of Windows XP. Tells me its only for use on Acer system. Again, downloaded multiple times, run from location, all from microsoft. Again, every time I try to install it gets hung up on "searching for updates" and stops responding. Didn't match my problem exactly but thought it was worth a shot. 7) Download a "fix" for a similar problem arising after waking a system up from hibernation (KB9296850). Yes I have tried to download it multiple times from Windows download center and have also tried to run without saving. Can not find any audio options at all.(No success) 6) Download windows Vista service pack 2 (yes, I am running vista), try to install, but every time I try it gets hung up on "Preparing your computer" and stops responding. No success 4) Stop/Start Windows audio service. No success 3) try to restore to an earlier configuration. No success 2) Uninstall ALL audio software and drivers, reinstall everything from manufactures websites. This is what I have tried: Obvious first step for me was to reinstall the audio drivers. Two days later, after searching through hundreds of forum threads and finding that this problem is actually fairly common, I still have not found a solution. I don't quite understand this contradiction. In device manager, all audio devices are installed with current drivers and all are "functioning normally". Open volume mixer and "No audio device is installed". Click the volume icon on the taskbar once with the left mouse button, and then click the audio device you want to listen through. For example, Windows may be trying to play audio through an external speaker instead of your built-in speakers. Open playback devices and all are enabled and "working". Many audio issues are caused by Windows playing audio through the wrong device. Little white x on the speaker icon on taskbar, mouse over it and it displays my current audio device and volume 0. So suddenly one day the audio on my system just disappears.
