No Audio Output Device is installed

RussBG · ‎05-18-2020

Couple of months ago my PC lost it's sound. I have tried the recovery manager, looking online and cannot find a way to get it back. When I put the mouse over the speaker icon on the bottom right a message comes up: "No Audio Output Device is installed". I am at the end of my rope. The PC has no pci or pci-e slots in it. I know it was not an expensive computer but it works great other than the sound. I would like to fix it. Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Russ

Hi, @RussBG

Since factory resetting the PC didn't work and the PC has no expansion slots, the only suggestion I can offer would be to try one of those cheap USB audio adapters they sell to fix those kind of issues.
