I did the automatic Update that it requests on Vista on my laptop and have

the problem with the speaker and red cross with alert saying "no audio output

is installed"

I do not have external speakers so no unplug/plug in issues there.

I have been through all of the online automatic checks and come to a dead end

1) check driver - did online and said it's the most recent version

2) cannot do 'roll back' driver option to older version so thinking driver

up to date

3) checking device is enabled - searched and showed it was 'disabled' so

clicked to enable - this is all on the recording - sound - of control panel.

The 'playback' tab shows no audio device installed and the buttons at bottom

(configure, set default, properties) are blanked out (i.e. cannot click)

At every stage I have restarted and at a dead end.

If anyone can help; I'd be much applied (sorry that I have clicked reply to

this post; I am IT challenged and in need of assistance!)

Sound problems cause by several reasons and every problem may have a

different solution. Once when I had similar sound problem I had found a

suggestion at http://www.noaudiooutput.com website that worked for me. There

are several suggestions given depending on different causes. So I would

like to suggest to check the said website and read all the suggestions

carefully. Maybe they have a suggestion that work for you too...
