No audio device installed?

No Avail

I tried what u said Raven98 but unfortunately it doesnt seem to work. I am practically ripping my hair out since i cant seem to solve this problem. My computer moniter is a hpPaviliona1330n. my system is a Microsoft Windows XP pro version sevrice pack 3. I am waiting for a solution to my, and i believe many others, problem with the audio of my system.

Hey LookinAround,

What's in my problem devices includes :

Multimedia Audio Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_A0021458&REV_02\3&13C0B0C5&0&FD The drivers for this device are not installed.

PCI Simple Communications Controller PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_2F20&SUBSYS_200014F1&REV_00\4&1F7DBC9F&0&10F0 The drivers for this device are not installed.

No idea how to fix this, but my speakers and desktop are both fujitsu siemens. If you need any more info that's cool.

cheers for help.


edit: I was on windows xp when this computer was first bought, I then used linux for a while and went back to windows xp service pack 3.
Also, not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i'm using a television as my monitor, but like I said i'm using speakers.
 
It's a Fujitsu Siemens; The model number is = GA-8I848PM.

I'll add a dxdiag with all info on pc :)

As you can see, it says there is no soundcard, I'm definite there is one, considering it worked before I went from linux -> win xp. :)

Click to expand...

The dxdiag message about "no sound card" is misleading.. It really means "No working sound card". In your case, the sound card hardware is being detected. I'm pretty sure that's what this is in dxdiag under System Devices
Code: 
     Name: Multimedia Audio Controller
Device ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_A0021458&REV_02\3&13C0B0C5&0&FD

But there's currently no driver for it. Go to the Fujitsu support site here, give it your serial number or product info to find the drivers. Download/install the audio driver. Let me know if that fixes it :)
 
Thanks lookinaround! :) helpful, hopefully this works too, I guess i've been looking for too advanced fixes, when it may just be this simple fix.
I know this sounds stupid, but what am I to type in? (the serial you mentioned/ product info?)
thanks again.
 
No worries.

Just go to that support website.. i think you'll find instructions and FAQ and how to find things by serial number...

Or just use the option to find by product and select your product info
 
Hey again.

Hmm, I downloaded a serial finder from the fujitsu support area and it came up with

Product: GA-8I848PM
Serial-Number: -not available-
Mainboard: GA-8I848PM
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition - Service Pack 3.

So no serial code? How annoying >_<

forgot to say, considering I had no serial code I just typed in GA-8I848PM and still can't see anywhere to download a sound driver >_<
 
There may be a tag on computer with S/N (usually back of workstations or bottom of laptops) or maybe just easier to try and find it by Product (rather then S/N)
 
Ok, I have an SCOVERY EasyGate, The only drivers which are available to download from the page it takes me to are Flash BIOS Update Disk? Is this a driver which I need to sort out this problem?
 
Wow. What a lousy support site :(

Yea, i only see Flash BIOS for that model and even that was hard to find! (and unfortunately that BIOS thing won;t help)

You might try their Desktop update program which might be able to find the driver for you
> Go to their contacts page
> Then i see in the column along the right a Automatic Drive Update link you'll have to click and try yourself

Also try opening Device Manager, look for a device with a Yellow icon. Probably under Sound or Other devices. Rt click Update and see if windows can find the driver
 
no luck, fujitsu siemens desktop updater can't be used on my model of pc. How useful, guess the moral is, never buy a fujitsu.. bad service I guess, can't even find a uk support line.. you got any other ideas? I think i'm just gonna get a new pc, I was gonna upgrade this one with a new hard drive, graphics card etc. but will replacing the sound card in my pc be able to fix this?

But to be honest, I'd rather just be able to fix this and upgrade it without buying a whole new desktop >_<

OK. We'll try this from a different approach but first a couple things

1) In worst case, google USB sound card. If you're looking for basic sound, an addon USB sound card can usually be purchased for cheap

2) Have you tried driver update via Device Manager yet? (see my last post for instructions)

If DevMgr, doesn't work I'll see if i can find you a driver based on the sound card's Hardware ID i can see in dxdiag. But do also try Device Manager, Update
 
You may be in luck (fingers crossed). Try this

> Go to Realtek download site here
> Click AC'97 Audio Codecs and accept the terms
> Now look for XP driver version
====> It's version A4.06
====> Download the first one in the list (Executable version)
====> Once it's downloaded simply run the EXE file

Your post didn't indicate if anything appeared in the Problem Device Report?? Let me give fresh instructions (including a dxdiag report) to start

List any Problem Devices
  • Make sure all your 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

it says that no sound card was found =(
 
Please pay close attention to my instructions in my last post

1) Problem Devices will either show nothing or displays lines of text? Which is it? Show me if anything appears

2) When you run dxdiag you need to SAVE it and attach a copy. There's detail in the report i need to see. What you see "no sound card" only means its not working. i need to see the report please following my instructions

Please read and follow each line of instruction carefully and follow it

btw... On re-reading this, also be sure to note for msinfo32 Problem Device Reprot

When you run msinfo32, you should be clicking Problem Devices and not on Sound Device and report if anything appears
 
No Audio device installed in Dell XP computer

1) Run Dell Resource CD
2) It would pause at screen showing [Utilities] [Drivers] [Diagnostics] …
3) Click onto [Drivers]
4) It would show new screen with [Audio Drivers]
/xxxxxx rev x
/yyyyyy rev y
zzzzzzz rev z
5) Only click onto those with ticks (that is /).
6) Click onto / and it would show new screen. Look for [Extract Files] or [Files be Extracted] and click with mouse button. It would do the rest of installation and audio device installed. Apply to any other device such as Video, NIC, etc.
 
Multimedia Audio Controller PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_7012&SUBSYS_831F1033&REV_A0\3&61AAA01&0&17 The drivers for this device are not installed.
