active audio devices????
i am having a problem with the lack of no active audio devices, i have made
sure that all of the drivers are loaded and working properly for all hardware, but still no dice. i have also run chkdsk and recovery from original os disk, but still no dice. no adware on my pc and no virus. so i know that all software is working fine but when i select volume controls i get the famous, "there are no audio mixer devices available. "To install mixer devices," it says, "go to Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Add Hardware." my problem that i have found is that it is not hardware, to my best knowledge. so this is really starting to make me lose my patience. i have also read on this discussion that it could be sp2, but i doubt that. although i didn't have this problem until i was updated with sp2. i also reformatted my pc right before that and that was only about 2 or 3 months ago. i have also defragged since then. what is really interesting is that it all started with my speaker setup would change from 5.1 to 2 speakers all by itself, so question 1, what would cause that? question 2 is how would it graduate to a more serious issue from that and why?. i know i am not dumb enough to erase anything, one of my roommates might be though! either way, laying blame doesn't make a solution. so after that long winded explanation, is there anything that i am forgeting that might be of some use, cause if so you will be my new hero of the week!! |
