NO Audio Output Device is installed.

[DG33TL]

Good day everyone!
First time here in the forum and in desperate need of help with my audio.
My audio dissapeared one day and unable to find a fix. I tried re-installing audio drivers and downloaded the lastest drivers from Intel's website and still no solution. Audio in BIOS is enabled and also did BIOS update.
"NO AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE IS INSTALLED" and missing "Sound, Video, and game controllers" from the device manager.
Maybe a special driver needed? or settings?
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel DG33TL MB using built in audio/video.
Audio chipset IDT.
Help me please please please!!!

DG33TL, welcome to the forums.

I would start with updating/re-installing the chipset drivers,

Intel® Driver Update Utility

then see if it shows back in Device Manager, and then install the suadio driver.

Thanks stormy! I will try that.

How do I remove the chipset drivers? Does not shows up in the Add/Remove program. Thanks!!

 

[stormy13]

No need to remove them first, just run the installer and let it do its thing.

Hello Stormy!
I updated to the lastest chipset drivers...still no luck. Still not detecting any "Sound, Video, and game controllers". Maybe older chipset drivers might work? Can I install older chipset drivers and overwrite new ones or remove them first?
Many thanks!!

Have you tried these steps? Looks like the issue you are having.

Desktop Boards — Troubleshooting audio issues

Hope this helps!

Still no luck!!

Looks like the problem is from an optional Windows update (Intel Chipset drivers). How do I uninstall optional Windows update? It does not shows up in the Add/Remove list.

Thanksssss!!!

This is a real shot in the dark, uninstall your audio drivers, but first... go into the Device Manager and Uninstall any audio drivers, or unknown devices, anything you see that is unidentified (yellow mark) that might be the audio device. Then... go to Control Panel/Programs and Features and uninstall the drivers from there.

Reboot the machine and enter the BIOS, disable onboard audio... let the computer fully boot then Reboot, get into the BIOS and enable onboard audio and see if it's detected.

This sounds like a lot more than it is, should only take a couple of minutes.

**PULLING HAIR**...

thanks for the suggestion Aphelion..but still no luck!!
I really don't want to restore but thats my last option...

Anything else I can try??

Finally gave up and bought a PCI sound card. LOL!! Sound works good!!!

 

[stormy13]

Probably the best idea. From what I have seen those IDT audio chipsets can be problematic at the best of times, and with the limited support that I have seen for them, a sound card will provide less hassle.

Just for curiosity's sake, which sound card did you get?

I was able to get my Intel DG33TL motherboard's integrated sound to work. I purchased the used Intel DG33TL motherboard last year to replace a failed board. The Creative Labs Sound Blaster PCI512 (SB0150) sound card worked fine with Windows XP Home 32bit up until yesterday when I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I couldn't get the PCI512 software to load, so removed that sound card, followed by turning on all audio features in BIOS. At this point Device manager showed all computer hardware working fine except for IDT Audio, Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter, and the Intel Management Engine Interface. Tired of messing around with Teredo Tunneling Adapter and Intel ME Interface in Device Manager, I disabled them both. Intending to quit fiddling with integrated sound, I used the Control Panel's Programs and Features to remove the IDT Audio driver. I missed the BIOS prompt, but decided to continue back to Windows. After logging in I was startled to hear the "Windows starting" tune from my speakers! The Device Manager's the sound controller simply reads "High Definition Audio Device."
