I recently worked on a client’s computer that was giving him the error “no active mixer devices available” whenever he clicked on the volume icon in the taskbar. This problem came up out of nowhere and it was almost as if the computer never had sound before! In the Sound and Audio Devices or Sound applet in Control Panel, everything was grayed out and there was a message saying No audio device under the Volume tab. On Windows 7, it will say No audio devices are installed on the Playback tab. Missing Drivers Upon checking under the Hardware section via the System Properties, we found a couple of yellow exclamation points next to Multimedia Audio Controller. Now this issue would have been easier to fix if the computer had a separate sound card installed and would have simply involved downloading and re-installing the latest driver for the sound card.

Sometimes the driver becomes corrupt and the sound disappears. In this case, just go to Dell, HP, or your manufacturers web site and download the audio drivers. Once the proper drivers are installed, you should go to Device Manager, right-click on the audio device under Sound, video and game controllers and see something like below.

If, for any reason, the service is stopped, then you will have the above-mentioned problems. To fix the issue, we need to open the Services dialog. To do this, click on Start and then run and type in services.msc in Windows XP or just click on Start and then type in services.msc in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. By default, it should say Started under Status. If not, you need to double-click on service, start it and then set the Startup Type to Automatic.

Go ahead and restart the computer and hopefully you should be able to change the sound properties in Control Panel and play sounds on your computer. If you’re still having issues, please post a comment and we’ll try to help.

No fix by uninstalling and reinstalling the Realtek AC'97 audio device or by downloading the latest driver from Intel the motherboard manufacturer. I also checked that the onboard audio device is enabled in the BIOS. Odd thing is that the system sees everything ok and in device manager all audio devices are showing 'this device is working properly'. This began after I hooked up a Xitel INPort USB audio device to record from LPs. Had no problem initially but it started after re-starting the computer with the device hooked up. The problem persists even after disconnecting the USB device. Has anyone had a similar experience?
