No audio device installed HP Pavilion dv6500 Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I also receive the message: No audio device is installed. I have been having this problem for months now. 
I executed the above suggested  procedure, but when it was attempting to install the driver I received message "Driver installation failed, could not find the MEDIA for this driver." 
In Device Manager - No sound devices are listed at all, bottom right sound Icon has a red X just to the right of the sound icon. Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks

Hi,

I had the same problem with my DV6529em hp laptop, but there is a very simple solution, all you need is internet connection.

Step 1.

You need to do little update for your windows XP, so it could recognise HD audio at all. You should install following windows xp driver: "Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition".

You can download it from this location:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-47284-1&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1842155

Step 2.

Simply go to your device manager and find driver marked with question mark and named "HD audio device on HD audio BUS" (or similar), then right click and chose update. This way your xp system will download and install driver through windows update...

But still that will only enable your sound with basic driver. Windows update driver won't provide options to chose different bit rates of frequency... Unless there is other solution

I had the same problem when I up graded from Windows XP to Windows Vista Ultimate.
When I was using XP I had no problems with the sound on my PC but as soon as I loaded the disk for Vista Ultimate I got the message No Media Devices are Installed when I placed my pointer over the speaker with the red cross on it over on the right hand side of the screen, next to the time display.

I had this problem for 2 days and was looking on line for ways to try and resolve it but was un sucessful.

I looked on my Controll Panel and double clicked on the System location and went to the Device Manager.

Once in Device Manager I noticed on the other devices section it was showing a Multimedia device but when I double clicked on it and tried to install and update driver I was receiving a message telling me that no drivers could be found for the device.

I then thought about other things I had had problems with in the past that did exactly the same in the devices section and thought to myself, well all I had to do to resolve those problems was un plug the device from my mother board and plug them back in after a few seconds and the computer downloaded the drivers for them straight away.

I then thought of what audio devices I had pluged in to my mother board and realised that the only things to do with audio were the speakers.

I thought to myself, it may not work but I'll give it a try so I un pluged the speakers (BOTH WHIRES) left it for a couple of seconds and pluged them back in and HEY PRESTO, I now have full sound with no problems at all.

If your PC came with a built in sound card and you are having the same or a similar problem, I'm not saying it will work but give it a try to see what hapens.

As they say, you'll never know untill you try.

Ok Guys I think I may have the solution to all of your woes.  I've been mulling over this problem for a day now and I finally solved it.  May not work for you but I tried everything else and here's what I finally did with success.  

Restart your PC and go into BIOS mode.  Fiddle around in the advanced settings and I eventually you should find a option to enable or disable audio.  Guess what.... mine was disabled.  No joke.  I took my PC apart.  Cleaned it.  Learned a massive amount in the process but eventually you'll get there with perseverance.  

There is also an option to enable or disable LAN too so that may work for you Vlasimil.

Let me know how you guys get on with this!

Cheers,
