  1. Audio suddenly stopped working, "no audio output device is installed", help!


    After I closed my laptop and put it into sleep mode and opened it again, there was no audio so I checked the corner of my screen and it has a red cross over the audio sign with the message "no audio output device is installed".


    I went on my device managers and saw this:

  2. No Audio Output Device is Installed

    Hi,

    You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

    2. Select "playback devices".

    3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

    5. Save the changes.

    Let us know the result.
