No Audio Devices on Windows XP

Expand Post »
Hi there,

I have a pentium 4 desktop computer at home, well it was running fine since 2 weeks... i had remove hard disk to place on another computer as slave and the re-inserted the hard disk back, but since then, i don't have any audio devices on my computer, the audio is integrated. When i go to Control Panel/Sound and Audio Devices there is no audio devices.

When going to the audio tab the Sound Playback and Sound Recording are grayed out and i can't choose any of them.

I tries to go to Administrative Tools/Services to check whether the Windows Audio Startup type was set to automatic and it was correctly set to automatic.

I tries to install several sound drivers like Realtek and SIS but the problem is still not resolved.

Re: No Audio Devices on Windows XP

Try 'Last Known Good Configuration' before Windows boot up by pressing the key F8.
Maybe this will help you...if not then let me know.

Re: No Audio Devices on Windows XP

Open Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager
Look under audio devices, right click and uninstall.
Look for yellow marks on other devices while you''re there.
Devices will be reinstalled on reboot and should work, with a little luck.

Re: No Audio Devices on Windows XP

You have to expand the category (Click the plus sign) to see the devices.
If that doesn't work, use the "Action" menu.
