I have built-in audio. I was installing Windows 7 64 bit. There was no audio after windows installation and even after installing realtek audio drivers. In device manager it says AMD High Definition Audio Device. In playback devices it says 1 - Digital Display Audio not plugged in. What should I do?
 
Not sure but try to refer to the motherboard's audio drivers (DEFAULT) rather than using AMD high Def Audio. I believe you are missing the original drivers.

What I usually do after installing a new OS on a new system is basically -

1. Install Chipset drivers, restart PC
2. Install Video drivers
3. Install Audio drivers
4. Lan, Bluetooth, Wifi Drivers if needed

and etc.. But those are the main ones ^

If you have the motherboards' name then look it up on their official website and install the latest drivers. Or try to troubleshoot audio in settings.
 


Whenever I try to install driers coming from HP drivers. It just install High Definition Audio Device.
 


There is only one device Digital Audio (HDMI) here. In AMD Catalyst Control Centre under default audio devices it says "Your displays do not support audio. Select another audio device from the list above. There is only one display above.
 
On the Taskbar, right click the speaker icon, and select Playback Devices. Make sure whatever device you want the sound to go to is selected as the default device.

If that does not resolve the problem, open the Control Panel, select Troubleshooting, and select Troubleshoot Audio Playback from that. It will walk you through a wizard and try to fix things for you.

I saw that integrated audio was disabled in bios. I have enabled it and now there is no playback device in sound.
 


Go to the website of the manufacturer of your motherboard. Find your motherboard page on that site. On that page, you should see a Support or Downloads link. Click on that. You will be looking for an audio driver for the onboard audio chip. Most likely, this will be a Realtek driver. Download it, and install the driver.

It should then look something like this in Device Manager:

I already have the audio drivers. Actually I was installing them after video drivers. I uninstalled video drivers and then installed audio drivers first. Now I got speaker option there and it works but only is software. There is still no sound in my speaker or headphone. I think it is some hardware problem. Can you please tell me how can I check onboard audio device has some issues.
 


This box has had 16GB in it since I put it together. Why?

Move your mouse over the scientist dude on the left, and my hardware is listed in the pop-up box.
 


I have 475w PSU. I tried installing sound card but it keeps taking me to parity check 2 when starting computer and after hitting enter a black screen with computer fans going wild. R7 250X requries 450W PSU. After removing sound card everything now works the way it was working i.e. working without just audio.

Is it because of power supply? What do you suggest?
 
I spent some time digging around, trying to find something that seems to relate to what is going on with your system. And I think I finally found it. My assumption after reading all of this is that HP seems to have some problems with sound cards. Why is not clear. But read the following, and see if you do not come to the same conclusion.

Well, this is INTENSELY interesting - looks like it was a PCI card, but the only one in there was a SB sound-card. When I removed the card, and rebooted, the machine boots up(and finishes the XP install in this case), and everything is now fine.

The odd thing is, that a soundcard does not have any on-board RAM, so how can there be a parity error, in a device which has no RAM of it's own?

Card in question is a PCI soundcard, SB CT4810 with Creative CT2518 chip.

ADDITIONAL: After the XP install completed, I put the card back in, and it boots up fine, detects and installs the card, and everything is happy. EXCEPT when I try to play something, then the whole system crashes. I now officially suspect that sound-card as a cause of problems. Will try another card and post results...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hokey pokey, mjc - fair comment.
I have just tried an external USB soundcard, and it works fine, and importantly DOES NOT crash the system when you try to play something on it.

The bit that was really throwing me, was the fact that the report was a parity error, and naturally, your first thought is system memory issues, hence my running of MemTest.

Having run MemTest and let it run right through, and no errors reported, it was really starting to confuse me big time, especially as if there really WAS a problem with the system memory, all sorts of horrible things should be happening during the setup process...

Oh well - another day, another dumb computer problem.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think there must be a problem with this computer's motherboard. I tried to install a SB Live 24-bit card today, and am getting parity errors again. This time, the system boots up fine, but when you try to install the drivers, the whole system falls over with a BSOD:

*** Hardware Malfunction

Call your hardware vendor for support.

NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error

*** The system has halted. ***
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hokey pokey, PC Guide boys and girls:

Another box does not have this problem.
I can install the live 24-bit card no problems in another box I have now setup. I have put a sticker on the old box to mark it's PCI slots as "Suspect".

Enough computer stuff for tonight.
I've fixed my FM transmitter tonight also(dead final transistor - no wonder it had no range!), so am back on air enjoying the soundz(if that does not sound conceited!) and a few suds aswell...

...just thought I would check in with the results...

I also found two other threads talking about the same error, but I do not know if they will help you...

Well, I got my parity check 2 error away from CMOS resetting. I coudn't have done it without readin from one link you provided.

Well, my problem still exist. Drivers are ok. I can see green signals going up while playing some audio/video file. But I am not getting any output in my integrated speaker or headphone.

I wanna give you some extra information.

I was playing counter strike source and audio started getting weird and slow. Later I had to restart my pc. After restart it worked fine. It happened again playing same game but this time restarting didn't worked. I had to reinstall drivers. This solved the problem again. It happened third time while playing the same game. I tried restarting, reinstalling drivers but both of them didn't worked for me this time.

I am playing this game for more than a year now. I remember I got some driver update from Windows 10 update. After that it started happening. Now I have installed Windows 7 and installed the drivers that HP website provide for this HP XW4600 workstation. They seem to work fine in software but I am not getting any audio output.

I have an old sound card. A software "Unknown Device Identified" says that the device name is "Creative (Was: Ensoniq) ES1371, ES1373 AudioPCI". So far I am only able to install VMWARE audio drivers but I am not getting any output from that. I have tried changing speaker to newly added card in sounds but that didn't worked. I got no audio.
 
Java:


OK then, I will pull the card out. Is there any way to make onboard sound work?
