No output device/ no sound video game controller
Please help!!!! I have that horrible problem of" No audio output device installed" and the red x over my sound icon, which means no sound. BUT I also have another problem.
Many say to fix this problem with windows 7 by going to device manager and fixing it under the catagory of sound video and game controller. Problem is, I DONT HAVE THAT OPTION!!!!!
I have no line that says sound video and game controller at all in my device manager. THAT is the major frustrating part.I have no idea where to go now. It seems like an easy fix, but i cant even get started because i dont have the selection available. WTH??
I downloaded realtek hd for 7 already and ran it. No luck. Still red x.
All it tells me is "hardware changes may not have been detected."
Ive updated all new windows updates and went through the recent updates to see if anything could help,something I could to tell to run, but no avail.
All help is appreciated, BUT please take note that i dont have the option of fixing this problem via the sound video and game controller settings in the device manager because, again, i dont have that listing.
THX!!
Also, i've considered that it may be a virus,seeing that the common option of sound video game controller in not there and the virus may be trying to protect itself by hiding it. But i ran a Malware scan and nothing came up.
