Every user should know how to himto cope with those or other computer problems. Especially if the problems relate to the main components: input-output devices, the Internet and sound. What if there are no audio devices on the computer? What can cause this phenomenon? How should the user behave to cope with the problem? There are a lot of options for the development of events. Therefore, you should either immediately contact the professionals in the service centers, or independently by sorting out possible situations to understand what is the matter.
Drivers
This scenario is more common.Total. Are there any audio devices on the computer? Windows XP or any other operating system is not so important what kind of person uses. After all, the problem does not depend on it.
Why? It's all about the drivers.This software is installed on all existing operating systems so that the computer can see the connected audio playback device. If they are not (or they are outdated), then audio devices will either malfunction or refuse to perform their functions altogether.
Therefore, if you have problems with sound, the first thing is recommended to reinstall or update the drivers. Perhaps it is precisely in them that the problem lies.
No connection
But it also happens that even after reinstalling the software, there are no audio devices. So the problem is not at all in this. What other reasons might cause the problem being investigated?
For example, if the audio playback deviceabsent in principle. Most often this item is related to desktop computers. In other words, when the speakers are not connected to the PC. In this situation, the operating system even after installing or updating drivers will show that the sound component is not found.
How to be?It's very simple: the intended audio playback device must be connected to the computer. And if you have not previously installed drivers, put them. If there is a connection, but the problem persists, it is necessary to look for another reason for this phenomenon.
No windows audio
Are there any audio devices on the computer?Windows XP, like other operating systems, sometimes suffers from this problem. It's time to not panic and check whether the service responsible for the sound in the operating system is connected initially. If it is turned off, then even with properly connected speakers or headphones, the sound will not play.
Not the most frequent phenomenon, but it makes users think seriously. After all, usually the disabled function of Windows Audio, few people pay attention. She is simply forgotten.
How to check whether the option "Windows Audio"?To do this, go to "Control Panel" - "Administration" - "Services". In this window, you will need to find the function being studied. Now you need to click on "Actions" - "Properties". In the opened window in the "Local computer" tab, in the "Startup type" parameter, you need to set the pointer to "Auto" and save the changes. This action algorithm is suitable for Windows XP. It is in this operating system "Windows Audio" for one reason or another, it turns off most often. Everything is ready, but the OS writes "Audio devices are missing"?
Malfunction
It may be that this problem appears due to a malfunction of the sound card or speakers (headphones). This case is not so easy to detect. Especially when it comes to computer hardware.
When it detects faulty equipmentwill have to be replaced. After this, the installation of drivers for the connected audio playback devices is carried out. And if the cause of the studied error is in the malfunction of any components, the problem will disappear.
Viruses
There are no audio devices on the computer (XP,"Seven" or any other operating system can give you such a nuisance), but is all the equipment in good condition? The next scenario, which is far from the rarest, is the infection of the operating system.
Viruses are the main enemies of efficiencycomputer. And they can lead to unforeseen situations. For example, disable input / output devices. Or even block the sound. Fortunately, not so often this happens. But rare such cases can not be called.
Therefore, if there is no sound on the computer or itabruptly gone, it is recommended to check the operating system for viruses. Treatment of the computer, as well as the removal of all potentially dangerous files will help to cope with the problem.
After cleaning and treatment will need to restart the operating system. Next, check the service "Windows Audio". And if everything is fine there, sound is turned on. It should appear.
Connectors
Audio devices are missing?No sound on the computer? Maybe the whole thing in the connectors and jacks connect the equipment. The thing is that if this is not about the built-in sound playback device, then, most likely, the component connection socket is damaged. Particularly high probability of this phenomenon on older computers.
It is recommended to look at the nest to whichconnect speakers or headphones. And try to attach the component of the sound playback to another connector. Next, you need to update the drivers. You can check the result. If the problem was found in the damaged connectors, then after reconnecting the speakers to another jack, it will disappear.
Incompatibility
Are there any audio devices on the computer?If we are talking about new operating systems, it is likely that the problem may be the incompatibility of the connected device. On the built-in components, this also occurs, but much less often.
Now even the speakers and headphones are socalled minimum system requirements. The computer to which the components are connected must match the requests. Otherwise, it will not work to make the device work.
Particular attention should be paid exactlyoperating system. Often, owners of old audio devices complain that they have no sound on Windows 10. This is normal. This OS has many incompatible devices. And the old components with it will not work. It is recommended to either purchase a new sound reproduction device or reinstall the operating system.
