Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267 No Sound

lochkelly · 10-15-2008, 09:01 AM

Next to my speaker icon is a red X. "No audio output device is installed" is what it tells me. Device Manager lists RealTek High Definition Audio under Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

I haven't made any changes to any of my laptop's hardware.

What's up with this? How do I get my sound back?

I'm a novice at this so you'll have to spell things out!

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Try in Device Manager and enable the device.

Also check in Control Panel under Sound/Audio and see the settings.

TriggerFinger,

Thanks so much!

The only option available when I right-clicked the RealTek High Definition Audio was "disable." So I did that and then selected "enable" the second time. Then my speaker icon gave me the option to unmute, which is what I wanted!

It worked! Thanks, thanks, thanks!

Lisa
