Hi

Okay so heres my problem,
I was listening to Itunes yesterday, and then today i went to go listen to a song and the sound wasnt playing AT ALL. The speaker icon showed that the sound wasnt on Mute nor was it on a quiet volume. Im not sure what exactly i did after that as now the speaker icon is saying that "The Audio SErvice is not running" :| im not sure what to do, and also just to add that the device manager is showing that there is no devices that are currently there. Im not sure how to even start to fix it. Please help would be appreciated.

Hi hrey48

Welcome to TechSpot.

just fyi... Normally it's best that you open a new thread to draw readers' attention to your own thread that discusses your own specific problem and symptoms

But since we're here already (and we're not still in the midst of discussing the other users' problem) we'll continue from here....

Please do both the following. List any Problem Devices

• Make sure devices are connected and powered on
• Click Start->Run, enter: msinfo32. Click the + sign next to Components to expand it
• Click Problem Devices. Anything appear?
• If yes, click on it, Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy it, Ctrl-V to paste into next post
• On the other hand, if no devices are listed, tell me so

Generate and attach a DirectX report

• Click Start->Run, enter dxdiag
• Notice progress in lower left window corner
• When done, click Save Information button and save to your Desktop
• In TechSpot, use the paper clip icon to attach the report. (If you don't see icon you may need to first click Go Advanced)

Your best bet is to first try downloading the drivers from the Acer Support site HERE. But they list many different models for the Aspire One. You need to know the exact model (there's usually a tag somewhere on the laptop).

It looks like your missing both video driver plus High Definition audio device drivers.

 

[hrey48]

thanks i found the drivers but i took a while to get the right ones and i will start the new thread next time

Hi Kingtaoist

It appears you have an HP Compaq D220 Microtower PC? It's driver page is HERE. Download and install the Driver Audio you'll find on that page.

Do you also have a webcam not working?? It looks like you might also have an iLook 300 webcam?

 

[kingtaoist]

yeah.. tnx
are you some kind of genius?? tnx man
how'd you know all this stuff? can i apply as your apprentice or something?

 

[Cinders]

He simply opened the DXdiag.txt file you attached to your post and read the first few lines. It tells the make and model of your computer.

Ok I have Dell E310 using xp home. When I go into Device Manag, under Sound, Video and game controllers I have the following:

Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device
Video Codecs

None of these have a yellow question mark in front of them. I recently had my computer set back to factory settings. Everything is working perfectly but the audio/sound. Please help me.

Hi Rema

Check the BIOS setup menu on your computer. (To enter BIOS menu for Dell;s, start tapping the F2 key like once per second immediately on power up. You should enter BIOS after the Dell flash screen and before the Windows startup screen)

Look through all the BIOS setup screens. For desktops, is probably an onboard audio option. Make sure it's not Disabled.

 

[rema]

It actually said Integrated Audio and yes, its on.

Hmmm...

Ethernet Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1064&SUBSYS_01C41028&REV_04\4&10BD256C&0&40F0 The drivers for this device are not installed.

Ah-HA! i think i see your problem (or at least a problem)

PCI Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2668&SUBSYS_01C41028&REV_04\3&172E68DD&0&D8 The drivers for this device are not installed.

Your computer uses High Definition Audio. You're missing the driver for the Hi Def Audio controller so Windows can't detect any audio devices. For Hi Def Audio things connect like this

Windows <===> Hi Def Audio Controller <==> Hi Def Audio devices​

Try this next: You should upgrade to SP3 (the driver is included in SP3). Or you need to install this MS KB if still using SP2 to get the driver (as i also see in dxdiag you're still running SP2)

/* edit */
btw.. you still need to install the ethernet driver for that machine too? Download that from the Dell support site for your computer model

 

[rema]

Thank you. Ok, so im at the Microsoft support website and its telling me that a "hot fix download is available" here are my optionsthey list the Windows XP 2x)

Windows Server 2003 All (Global) x86 nosp UAA_HD_Audio_OOB_update
Windows 2000 All (Global) x86 sp4 UAA_HD_Audio_OOB_update
Windows XP All (Global) x86 sp1 UAA_HD_Audio_OOB_update
Windows XP All (Global) x86 sp1 UAA_HD_Audio_OOB_update

I just want o be sure because at the top it says if i download the wrong one, it can damage my system.

 

[rema]

and for the ethernet controller...i dont see it here for my computer

[LookinAround]

Hmm.. i don't know why they list 2 choices for XP but would GUESS either XP choice would be OK. Or maybe best to just upgrade to SP3 and the driver comes with the SP3 upgrade.

As for your ethernet, your ethernet controller is an Intel chip, so choose the Intel Driver listed on the dell page under Network

/* edit */
This is the device on the dell page Intel (R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
