Have you ever received this error message 'No Audio Device Installed'? If yes, then you're not the only one, as many people receive the same message when they try to load up a video or listen to a music file. The sound on their system is completely nonoperational. So why does this happen, even though the sound card is still inside the system?
There are a number of things that can cause this error. Here are some steps that you can follow in order to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
1. Examine your systems BIOS
If your system came with an integrated sound card, which is the vast majority of computers, then you might want to check the system BIOS to verify that all the settings are correct. Restart your system and enter the BIOS by pressing the F2 key. Once you're in, verify that the audio card, which should be named AC97 Audio, is set to either Enable or Auto, if not, set it to one of them. It's important that you don't mess with any of the other settings as it can have an adverse effect on your systems overall functionality.
Restart your system and check whether the problem has been rectified. If it has not, then you should consider option 2.
2. Go to Device Manager
This can be done by clicking on 'Start' and then 'Control Panel'. Once there, click on 'Printers and Other Hardware' and then 'System' on the left hand sidebar. Once 'System Properties' has loaded up, you'll have to click on the 'Hardware' tab and then the 'Device Manager' button, once device manager has loaded up, check under 'Sound, video and game controllers' menu by clicking on the plus sign beside it. If you see a yellow exclamation mark over any of the audio devices listed, then it most likely means that your device is not installed properly. In order to solve this problem, you'll have to reinstall your sound cards drivers.
