Windows 8.1 No Audio Devices Found, Assistance Needed!
Windows 8.1 No Audio Devices Found, Assistance Needed!
Today I arrived home and started my computer, but encountered an issue. The audio output is showing as null on the playback devices, indicating no audio devices are installed. I've been trying to install or reinstall drivers, restarting the system for the last 8 hours. I'm really confused about what's causing this problem and would really appreciate any assistance. My setup includes a monitor with a built-in speaker, the Samsung Monitor, and audio software from Realtek HD and Nvidia. I'm using Windows 8.1, and this situation has become quite frustrating.
I question it, I connected both my monitor and astros to another machine and everything functioned properly. The hardware seemed fine, as it had only been working for about an hour before.
Hardware failures can happen unexpectedly. What functioned just moments ago might stop working. If the driver reinstall didn’t help, and the speakers didn’t work on another machine, I’d bet the motherboard or sound card is faulty.
You might be correct, though all my equipment is brand new. Still, you're not sure, so keep working on it—we'll find out.
