  1. No Audio output device is installed. Ive tried everything and cant fix it.


    I have an XPS 15. The laptop had a hard crash and wouldn't turn on for a long time. I did a diagnostics boot and finally opened it in repair mode somehow. IE the fan wouldn't stop spinning restarted it and turned the mode off. Also at some point in this prosses, I unplugged the headphones and the monitor it was plugged into. After this, it will not find any audio device. I've updated/ reinstalled the drivers and followed every guild I could find.

    I even did a full back to factory specs restart. Nothing will work. Is there any way I can see if this is a motherboard or a port issue?

  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.
