That was my first approach Topher, but it didn't do the trick.
After that I dove into the realms of the internets and tried a multitude of drivers (Realtek's first), all to no avail.
Someone else suggested it might be the Services/Dependencies not being started, but everything looks good...
Thats what i thought. I have already done that. WIN 7 picked up the "new hardware", tried to install it with the same (negative) result.
Lucky you... :tongue:
Aah, now it makes sense. I was looking at the wrong line (Friday, December 4, 2009 :redface:) and was under the impression the article was fairly recent.
It's a shame, but the writing was on the wall even back then.
Maybe a relocation is in order...
Yes, I understand.
The "closing forever" part is what I don't get. The NYT article says it's been rescued (new grill and all) instead of being forced to close down.
Enlighten me! :smile:
I see I'm not alone.
By saying
you mean the audio drivers and the AC'97 "device" in Device Manager?
Right now I'm trying to hunt down the audio driver that's ON the WIN 7 DVD through "exploring" it. No luck so far. Any idea what to look for, name of it, file extension etc.?
Look, this guy is Canadian, too, he can teach you. :biggrin:

No upgrade, full install of WIN 7 Ultimate.
Problem is just like the title says.

Icon in taskbar says: "No Audio Output Device is installed".
Yes, it's...
Happens all the time. Best Buy, CompUSA aren't any better than Fry's either. People seem to be learning only the hard way.
I bet you anything, had you built it yourself you'd have had a superior PC for half the price.
