No Audio Device, how to enable it?

bAz666 · 09-27-2007, 09:00 PM

Well, I'm in a school compound and the comps here show this when I try to enable Audio.

Anyway to enable sound?

**mattlock** · 09-28-2007, 12:04 AM

You would need admin rights to get the sound working.

bAz666 · 09-28-2007, 03:27 AM

And if I get admin rights, how do I do it?

**mattlock** · 09-28-2007, 06:50 AM

I'm sure if the IT dept is willing to give administrative rights they'll be more than happy to tell how to enable the sound. Unfortunately we can not assist in this matter as it is against TSF policy to help circumvent an restrictions set by a network administrator.

bAz666 · 10-05-2007, 08:54 PM

Yes, well said trixienwa

What make/model is the sound card?

Install the audio driver. You need admin rights to do this, which is why Matt suggested contacting the IT dept. Most users of school computers do not have permission to make system changes.

First off, we don't know if they don't have local administrator right to the desktop.
Secondly, even if they don't have local administrator right to the desktop, they would still be able to control the volume of the computer they are on.

It's probably a realtek integrated sound card, they're a pain. Regaurdless, you probably need to install KB888111 with will initiate the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture.

Display a picture of the AUDIO tab.

Bump - I have the same problem as shown in the original post. No Audio Device, Not only that, but all audio options state "No playback Device" Skype also reports unsurprisingly "Problem with Playback Device"/

My audio driver (SigmaTel C Major) is reportedly working. I also got the driver from Dell and uninstalled/reinstalled it, with no luck. This looks like some sort of support file might be missing.....thx

elephant007 · 09-01-2008, 05:21 PM

Running SP3? If not, you might want to install KB888111
