on the forums here, it seems some people have luck downloading the drivers from the makers' site (realtek) but i am running conexant hd smartaudio. I have gone through HP's site and Microsite (ahem.) and gotten nothing. However i lose the ability to use the headphone jack! (this was just once that i noticed, and since the aforementioned full system restore i have only had sound once and the headphone jack worked, so there.) Stranger still, when the rare chance i do have sound and god's love shines on me, the HP Quicktouch On-Screen Display issue goes away. also, it means not only do i not have sound, there is no device to update drivers for.Īlso, when the error is up, it also causes the Hp Quicktouch On-Screen Display to stop working (is this because the drivers are shared or something?) When the error is up, if i look in device manager, there are no options at all for sound card, game controller, video. I have updated drivers, restored to a time before the problem, full system restore (it hurt bad when my 'new' machine came up with that little X) When it first started happening, it would come and go as i restarted or hibernated. Right-click the device that is not functioning. Click the plus icon next to the category to expand it, then select the audio device you have in your system that is listed in there. In the Device Manager window, scroll down until you find the category called 'Sound, video and game controllers'.
I am running vista home premium 64 on an hp pavillion dv2845se verve entertainment notebook pc and i have the dreaded no audio output BS Click the Device Manager app icon that shows up. Unique twist to: "No Audio Output Device is installed" first i want to comment that that error has strange capitalization issues.
