Hi all,

I can't seem to restore audio on Vista whatever I do. I have a red-cross/mute symbol permanently on my sound icon. It says I have 'High definition audio device' and all is installed properly but when I try to open the volume mixer it says 'no audio device is installed'.
I've tried 'updating the driver software' in the driver itself, I've tried deinstalling all audio devices (so that it reinstalls automatically when I reboot), I've tried downloading updates from Dell and Realtek but nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help?!!!!

hi there,

type msconfig in run

on general tab select start normally

you can also on startup tab select the items you want windows to load

then restart to apply effects

Thanks
