| Audio is not coming out of my computer speakers. When I click on the volume
control it says "no active mixer devices." How do I get this up and running?

First, we need a little more information. Do you have a sound card
installed or built into the motherboard? The best way to find this is
open the Device Manager:
Windows XP -
Start - RIGHT click My Computer - Properties - Hardware tab - Device
Manager
Windows 98/ME/2000 -
Desktop - RIGHT click My Computer - Properties - Hardware tab - Device
Manager
Once the Device Manager is open, click on the plus symbol to the left
of 'Sound, Video and Game Controllers'. This will expand the listing of
devices under this topic.
Look for any yellow triangles or red triangles. These are indicators of
problems with existing installed hardware. If none of these symbols are
apaprent, then make sure you have an audio device listed. Examples
would be "realtek AC'97 Audio", "Creative Audio Device". Yours may be
something different, but these are pretty common.
If there is no audio device listed, then you have one of two problems:
1. You don't have a sound card.
2. Your sound card driver doesn't have drivers installed or has a
problem that causes Windows not to recognize it.
Once you determine which problem you have, the solutions will be
different. If you purchased your computer from a retailer and it is
under warranty, the best solution to problem 2 might be to return to
them for help. If it is out of warranty or otherwise not supported,
then reply with that situation.
If the problem is #1, then you need to install a sound card. If you are
sufficiently skilled to install new hardware, this should be easy, but
only if you are comfortable opening the computer case and installing a
card.
I am assuming you have a desktop system. For a laptop, the problem is
almost certainly a driver or hardware problem. If it is a driver
problem, reply with the make and I am sure a solution can be determined
from there.
These are the beginning steps for troubleshooting, and should help you
to determine if you are up to doing it yourself or if more experienced
help might be required.
I hope this helps.

I have the same soundcard mixer problem.
Something was wrong and I did the Repair procedure from install CD (SP2).
After that I sound card stopped working
(throught wave out dont work, direct sound works)
Beacouse "Mixer device is not there" type of request,
when I try to start sndvol32.
It is SB PCI 128 and it IS in Harware support database
and it worked before repair of XP (pro).
I downloaded newest drivers for sound card and installed them.
After I do Uninstall/Refresh on Card on Device manager,
sound card works and sndvol 32 starts fine and do its job.
But after Restart of themachine , "Mixer not there" problem again
and I need to do do uninstall/Refresh as Administrator,
every time when I star my machine.
Could anyone help me resolve this problem
without reinstalling machine
(I have a lot of software I don`t want/cant install again.)
Please help,
thank you.

Hi Nikola
I would start your own thread - you have come in on somebody else's very old
thread - good chance it will be ignored or missed.
Also you are using the web interface which is unreliable.
Learn to use newsgroups if you can.
Good luck

Try and stick with one name - could cause confusion
