Hi, guys!

My comp isn't recognizing my speakers...

I've been trying everything from installing Realtek audio soundcards and drivers to research, and I can't seem to find anything... My Altec Lansing Series 100 speakers are plugged in, however, when I go to the Control Panel, and then Sounds and Audio devices, it says no audio device is plugged in...

Please help, I've been working at this for hours and this is driving me crazy!

Thanks,

Hi!

Humm... It seems as if many persons are facing the same problem these last days...Problem with sound from their pc/laptop...

I recommend you to check if it is well-plugged and if it runs well when it is plugged in other PCs...If so, then you know that it is defective and need to change to a new one!!

See u

I had the same problem with vista home premium
i downloaded the driver and then after I rebooted it said no audio device installed. I went to control panel then checked to see if the driver was on the add and remove programmes list it wasnt so I downloaded the driver again and installed it everything works fine now .. so try that first before you go hunting for other solutions that mean a reinstall of vista ..

Hey Everyone,
It's me again. A couple days ago I wrote a message on here. I had erased a few programs I did not need anymore and all of a sudden my sound was removed. It was if I had no sound program for my speakers. No one was able to help me so I researched it myself on the net and here is what I did. I went to the "Start" menu at the bottom of my page, clicked it, then clicked on "All Programs", then "Accessories", then click on "System Tools" and then "System Restore". From there a window will open and it will ask you what date you would like to take your computer back to. Yes, it is like the movie, "Back To The Future", you can go back in time. For example: (For those of you who have never heard of this before) If today's date is May 30th and you erased your sound by accident this morning but your computer was working fine yesterday, you would set your computer back to May 29th. After you click on that calendar date and hit ok, leave your computer alone for a few minutes while it updates itself. (Your computer will explain everything to you once you get to the "System restore" area.) After this process is done, your computer will reboot itself. I did exactly what I mentioned above (I figured it out on my own) and if you ever find yourself in a weird situation like losing sound (assuming you are not just making a human error and have your sound on mute), try it.

Best of Luck to you all

Sincerely,
Christopher

Hey Bro,
I would love to help but not sure I can. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to go back in time. It only has to do with the last times your computer has updated its self online. when you get to the restore callendar, every date highlighted in "Bold" are dates your comuter has successfully updated its self. Are you not allowing your comuter to update when it asks you to restart computer or please "click here" to update? Maybe try it again. It should work bro.

Peace,
Chris

Hey Dave,
The "crab" is an icon for Realtek software. I am having the same problem, except I didn't go on a deleting spree...I got infected with the rogue program claiming to be Vista antivirus 2008. I am running a Toshiba Sattelite A215-s5818 with vista home premium. So I know exactly what you are going through. So far no luck, even with the original program from the restore disc. Oh, it shows up in remove programs, but doesn't have the crab icon, just the window icon that shows it wasn't fully installed. I am going to attempt to complete a system restore. If that works, I will let you know. Otherwise, if ANYONE has any ideas, PLEASE let me know! either here or at vendros1@hotmail.com Thanks for ANY ideas!!!

Mafozza,
You still haven't figured it out, please read my message I wrote on restoring your computer back to a working date.

Just go to your start menu at the bottom of your page, click "all programs" , then "accessories", then "system tools" then click "system restore". If your computer was working ok a week ago, go back to that date and follow instructions on your computer. You computer will update its self and then it will restart. When your computer is up and running, you will find your sound working and everything again. Just a word of advice, maybe have someone help you before you start erasing programs again. I say this because if you erase to much, your computer will crash. If you erase just a few things, one program might be attached to your sound and other important things and you will uninstall those. It can be tricky but if you want things back the way they were for now, so you have sound, follow my advice.

Peace and good luck

chris

HI I thought I should let you know my situation so you may understand that not everyone has the same solution as a restore point. Trust me I have tried this. MY problems all started when I was using vista. I needed to upgrade my AVG and in order to do this I needed to upgrade my Vista. This requires a Sp1 update I am using a HP pavilion dv2000 and like many others this resulted in a problem that got worse and worse after the update where my screen went all sorts of scrambled. before trying to switch to xp I went through a period of time replacing the drivers every time vista decided to destroy them and then turning off the automatic updates but then the situation got worse vista completely went defunct. I could not even boot my computer in safe mode and all the restore points were to a point in time after I downloaded the SP1 update. So at this point I got out my old XP cd and installed XP after which point I needed to download drivers for many things on my laptop but one thing seems to evade my ability to fix when trying to up load drivers for my sound the computer says there is no audio device it is plain to see I cannot do a system restore. I am done with vista I believe there are a lot of people who feel that microsoft owes them a new computer I for one will be going with alien ware and linux in the the future. But in the mean time would like to get the sound working on my computer again. After using xp and vista for years now Xp was always smaller and just a hair better for functionality and vista was always just visually nicer, but now as of a month ago Xp blows the vista away considering vista no longer works on many computers I have been to other sites and know I am not alone.

have speakers but no sound; drivers maybe?

Hello,
I have just recently installed Windows XP Pro again in order to wipe my hard drive because of a bad virus. Everything is working fine except for my sound. For some reason the computer doesn't detect, respond to, or work with my speakers some how. I think it might have something to do with drivers but I'm not sure. My speakers are "Multimedia Speaker System" just some run of the mill computer speakers. If anyone has any idea why this could be happening please help.

Thank you,

Altec Lansing Series100 Speakers

Hello,
I lost the power cord for my PC Speakers (Altec Lansing Series100). I bought a Universal AC Adapter but to configure it, I need to know the polarity of the speakers. The booklet for the AC Adapter says the polarity should be written on the speakers (which it is not) or in the instruction manual for the speakers (which I DO NOT STILL HAVE, of course!)
Can anyone help? Does anyone have an instruction manual for the Altec Lansing Series100 Speakers?
Thanks, K
