Re: "There are no active mixer devices..."

Click to Expand / Collapse Quote originally posted by jbennet ...

By the way if anyone has dell and wonderes why they have no sound after installing/upgrading thier os its because dell uses Sigmatel HD sound in most of its dimensions which is a PITA as xp and many other oses need drivers

I have a dell dimension that we just reinstalled windows xp on, after everything was done properly (well as we thought)
We have no sound. everything is fine in the services.msc thing, Startup type is automatic and and service status is started. we get the message there are no active mixer devices when i try to go to volume control.
When i try to install the drivers (soundMAX) i get the error message "the file 'ksuser.dll' on windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD is needed."
I put the cd in and it says the file is not found please verify the correct filename was given.

Please help me!!! i am completely stumped!!

I found a fix!

I had this problem as well. It happened randomly in the middle of downloading music.
But thanks to some tech help from another site, the fix was pretty easy.

Go to Start --> Run, and type in services.msc.

A window will pop up with a list of services. Scroll down to Windows Audio. Right-click
and click on Properties.

Make sure that "Startup type" is set to automatic. Also, make sure, under "Service
status," start is selected. (Mine was somehow set on stopped. I clicked start and
-- voila! -- it worked.)

Hope this works for you, too.

My settings were these before I opened Volume Control! I still have no sound. I have a Mobile Intel Pentium III CPU - M 1200 MHz 1.20GHZz, 256 MB RAM

Re: "There are no active mixer devices..."

JBennet,

I followed all of your instructions to a capital 'T' and nothing is working. This is what I have for a computer.

Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
Install Language: English (United States)
System Locale: English (United States)

Compaq Presario 061 EG733AA-ABA SR1620NX NA540 0nx1411RE101AMETH00
System Serial Number: CNN5350CFD
Enclosure Type: Desktop

Processor

2.00 gigahertz AMD Sempron
256 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Not hyper-threaded

Main Circuit Board

Board: MSI AMETHYST-M 1.0
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 3.47 03/03/2006

I don't know if that is enough information for you. I have no sound and I clicked on volume and everything is grey shaded. I have tried to go to http://www.hp.com and I have gone to http://www.windowsupdate.com and following through with services.msc

Please help me.
