Default There are no active Mixer Devices Availalbe


Although the sound card and its drivers are installed correctly. I
receive this error message about no active mixer devices when I try to
double-click on the Volume icon in the system tray of Windows XP.

Most people will assume the sound card itself is having difficulty or
the drivers have no been installed, or maybe the system has been muted.
However, when the computer starts or shuts down you hear the normal
Windows sounds. However other audio does not play normally and results
in error messages.
When I checked the Sound and Audio Devices section of the Control Panel
in Windows XP, it shows there are no audio devices and everything is
greyed out.

I Have the same problem for over 4 months, I tried so many things to
solve it, but no luck.
I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop , I tried reinstalling windows , but
still I have the problem.
I tried to run services.msc, but wndows Audio is started from services,
but audio setting is greyed out.My computer mother board ID is
SROSA001.86C.0034.D.0711141732
I do not see onboard audio when I go to bios .
I tried everything.
Is there anyone who knows the solution to this ?

Depending on whether you have type 0687 or 0769, one or more of these
drivers may be needed.

Thanks for the prompt reply Joe, I downloaded both files from lenovo
site , the bios and also the audio drivers , but it still does not solve
the problem.
Is it possible that my soundcard is ****ed up?

Is there any other way to reset the BIOS to Factory Default without
taking the battery out?
The battery for Lenovo laptop that I have is located under the keyboard
and I can not see the battery.
Is resetting the bios going to fix the sound?

Did you locate the files after download, and run them? Anything's
possible; the sound card could be bad.. it's just difficult to get at
most components of a laptop, so that should be the last thing you try.
Still, if you been fooling with it for four months, it might be time to
visit a local computer shop.

Look here for more ideas:

It depends on the BIOS, but most of them have a "reset to default"
setting you can use in the BIOS setup program.


The battery for Lenovo laptop that I have is located under the keyboard
and I can not see the battery.
Is resetting the bios going to fix the sound?



Your message says nothing about the problem you're having with the
sound, so I don't know for sure. But my guess is probably not, since
you are much more likely to have a driver problem if you have a
problem with your sound.

My problem is with sound .
I get the message " There are no active mixer device available"
My audio setting is greyed out and the device manager shows Legacy
audio drivers as the primary sound drive and the properties say this
device is working properly, But I do not hear anything.
Some forums say that my onboard audio should be enabled in BIOS , but I
do not see any onboard audio in BIOS.
I Have a usb 5.1 soundcard with a mic input and a head phone jack which
is working ok, but my concern is how to fix my onboard audio.

I had similar problems to everyone listed above, but I found a solution
that was much simpler than most of those also listed above. It would be
worth a try, that is to go from the simplest solution to the more
complex if the simpler one doesn't work. I started with the first step
started by others. Here is what worked for me:

Lost Sound?
If the symptom is that: “error message: There are no active mixer
devices available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click
Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Add Hardware. This program
will now close.”

Go to Start Run and type in: services.msc , and hit enter.
Scroll down to "Windows Audio", right-click on it and select
Properties,
set the startup type to Automatic, click Apply
then click the “Start” menu option from the “Action” menu.

Then, you may have to go to the “Sound” control panel
and choose the “Audio” tab.
_Then_ensure_that_the_\"Conexant_AMC_Audio\"_*is_c hosen*_from_the_pull_down_menus_

both for “Sound Playback - Default Device”
and also for “Sound Recording - Default Device”.
The “MIDI music playback - Default Device”
should be “Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth”.

Hey I just joined up because I'm just so fed up with NO ONES' fixes
working for me. I've tried the "services.msc" fix and that does nothing
as it says my Windows audio appears to be running; I've tried Optrex's
fix and that didn't work. In fact, before I tried optrex's fix the audio
would work on my pc for a little while after startup and now it's
completely gone. Pleeeease help this problem is really crap for a gamer.


Kelly has a few suggestions at her site:

Click "S" and scroll down to "Sound Troubleshooters", just about halfway
down the page.
