No Audio Device Found....

ii311hive · #1 04-08-2007, 03:36 PM

I have been searching for a while online for the problem i have been having. I have tried many things to fix the problem, but to no avail. This is actually my g-friends computer. Anyways, she toild me she had not done anything, but all of the sudden her sound was gone. Speakers are fine and connected. Windows media does not work either, comes up with the no audio device error. Checked audio devices and sure enough there was "No Audio Device" and the rest of the panel was greyed out. I am at wits end already. The motherboard is a gigabyte k8nsp. I am attaching a pic of what my device manager looks like. The sound portion looks fine, however I do have a couple of yellow ?/! . I have no idea if this anything to do with the sound or not. There is not any other sound card installed, and again I am using the onboard sound card.

Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.
