NO Audio in Windows 7, Sound Card is Installed, so is the driver apparently, and there are no speaker or connection problems, but there is NO Audio.
Everytime I try to play any audio file, a message pops-up saying: "There is a problem with your sound device" "there might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.
The BIOS has audio enabled. The Device Manager in the Sound Card Properties says: High Definition Audio Controller/Properties/General/The driver for this device might be corrupted, or your system may be running low on memory or other resources. (Code 3)" (it has a Core 2 Duo 2.9GHz + 3GB RAM). The Driver tab/Driver Details says. C:\Windows\System32\DRIVERS\hdadbus.sys... SO is it installed or not? I don't think you can install a driver without a device, the sound card is integrated in the motherboard, so it is installed but the system doesn't recognize it.
The motherboard is a Intel Trinity Valley DG41TY information and searched the Intel website for the sound driver, installed it twice but had no success. Then downloaded the Microsoft Fix it application and ran it both manually and automatic modes.. it detected issues and tried to repair them but the final result was the same
The Action Center tries to troubleshoot the problem, corrects it and comes up with:
"Hardware changes might have not been detected"
I have also tried uninstalling the sound card in the Device Manager and restarting the computer so maybe it will install automatically but nothing, anything I do is useless. Searching for solutions I've found that many people are getting the same problem and I don't see any are getting helped.
I've also downloaded a Fix it for the Device Manager and it found a number of devices that have the yellow exclamation symbol, even the processor has that symbol, but other than being a little slow on some functions (slow for a Core 2 Duo 2.9GHz + 3GB RAM) it doesn't seem to have problems.
Other devices with the exclamation symbol are: The optical drive, a "Composite Bus Enumerator, Intel ICH7 LPC Family Interface Controller, Microsoft Virtual Drive Enumerator Driver, UMBus Root Bus Enumerator. The Optical Drive is not recognized, I can’t check the other devices not knowing what they are for. But the fact that there are several Devices with the same problem indicates there is something very wrong and there is no way to solve it. Not even the microsoft Fix it software can help… so I have triel reinstalling some of the other drivers manually but nothing happens, the systems has the same message for every device with the problem.
If I try to autoreinstall them, the program searches windows update and downloads, then installs the drivers, and later says it did not install the drivers, or it says: "the best driver software for your device is already installed; "Windows has determined that the driver software for your device is up to date. So it’s like a vicious circle without a solution.
btw, I searched on some Microsoft support websites and it appears that many people have this problem… on a forum where threads to other problems are nunbered small 20’s at most,.. 95 have this same sound device problem. The only options I’m faced with is to install a PCI sound Card unless someone here has faced this problem and solved it…
Thanks for your comments and hopefully a solution
