No Audio Output Device is Installed

You cross your fingers too Mike

Hmm... I guess I am just not clear as to what this is asking me to do. "Make sure it is set to Auto Start (not disabled), then select your options." As you can see, mine was set to auto. What now?

@Allonthebus - Just read and applied to the Compaq with the same problem (it is not a 64-bit OS though) (but it is win 7) and no change here. reinstalled the current driver, nothing, I'm going to try to uninstall of the drivers then reboot and see if windows update offers any drivers for it.

I thougt I remembered you checking that service real early in the thread (20 pages ago!:)) but yes its set properly did you have to start it or did it just look like that when you got to it?

It was all set up just like that.

I've second handed posted again?? OOPS

In that case I think I have nearly exhausted my suggestions
on this one unless wanting the recovery option as
mentioned - well back in one of them other posts :)

So what has this friend found out Mike- can you fill us in on the details
or is it hush hush at the moment?!

Please tell

I've second handed posted again?? OOPS

no, I'm just mentioning it, it was eons ago, maybe in the first few posts - to say that the svcs I think have beeen going all along.

and cruxone- the other audio endpoint service is the same?

Sorry Mike- but I just read back through the whole thread
to see if there is anything I may have missed here
and not once was it mentioned before I had about trying
the service settings- so I guess I'll be taking that OOPS
back as it wasn't required.

I did however notice on the way through that you had asked
the OP for a full model no of the machine after I had.
Just thought I'd mention those couple of facts.

It's still not getting the problem solved but -

OOPS! :)

( I could have sworn!...I'll look too, but if you say so, I believe ya')
