Hello, I'm having serious and very annoying trouble with my sound. My sound doesn't make sound. I have a Windows Vista, the other day I reinstalled it and, since then my sound button at the corner of my screen next too the clock has had a little red "x" on it. It saids I don't have any audio devices installed. In "Hardware and Sound" in control panel it saids it's working fine. I have SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC for sound. I hope this isn't my sound card messed up. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but that didn't work and I reseted my computer over hundreds of times. Please help.

to any 1 that is suffering from loss of sound due to the driver I have a quick fix that worked for me! I wasted a whole Sunday afternoon trying to find the driver for my sound card but then I decided to think out side the box a bit and looked on ebay for a new sound card found a usb sound card that is plug and play and the sound is not bad at all (i cant tell the difference) Only cost $3 !

Amazingly my sound on my PC is not working, my hard drive failed and I have now replaced it with a new one.
since my PC has been repaired the sound has been working fine as I am able to play videos.

Their is No red mark on the speaker at the bottom of my screen also all the audio devices are turned up, and can not work out why my sound has stopped working.

I can tell you what worked for me. First let me tell you what I tried before I found the solution. I cleaned my registry, I reinstalled the drivers while in safemode, I disabled and re-enabled, I deleted the lowerfilter and upperfilter from the registry, and none of it worked.

Finally I installed my webcam Logitech software again. After I rebooted from the install all of my sound drivers were working properly. I have no idea what my webcam software had to do with the disabling of my sound devices but somehow it did. So if you have any logitech software that you recently uninstalled, then reinstall it.

GO TO PLAYBACK DEVICES IN YOUR VOLUME MANAGER, THEN, RIGHT CLICK A DEVICE THAT IS THERE OR WHATEVER JUST GET TO THE SHOW DISABLED DEVICES MENU AND GET THOSE SHOWN... ABRACADABRA CLICK ON A SOUND DEVICE, I.E. SYSTEM SPEAKER? THAT SHOULD SOLVE IT...

Computer guy here,

I see hundreds of thousands of people that are eally pissed off due to loss of sound(s). I understand believe me!
Here you go.
Un Install your SP2 or SP3 ( service pack 2 or 3, it will only effect a couple programs and they automatically re update anyway, back-up any photos and music etc on a DATA disk, same as a CD but read the label, pick one for Data.

So un install your Service Pack, takes 15 minutes, then re boot, now re install to Service pack three. Call me for help Phone number removed for security blocked or private numbers please leave a message, Thank you. Problem fixed free. Download the new SP3 at Microsoft or any verified signed providers, not Joesoft or some shit..

Oh only do this after you you make sure your speakers are working and a device is assigned to them, email me for help Email id removed for security
I'll have you up and running like new asap. Peace
