I am having a problem much like other users, but with a few slight differences...
My problem is this: I have a Compaq Pesario, AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3400+, with Windows Vista. However, this computer is not new, and has been in my possession in full working order for nearly two years. It had not had this problem before recently. The only change that I have made to this machine that I can even remotely relate to this problem is an upgrade from an NVidia Video card to a higher gaming quality Radeon Video card, and a RAM upgrade, which I have already been assured is not the cause of the problem. However, when I go to the Device Manager, I find that there is no evidence of a sound device, and when I check my Icon Tray, the sound icon has a red circle with an x in it, and tells me that I have no Audio Device installed.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Solution: My dad has offered to give me a sound card. This is the root of the problem, since my machine's original card is a chip on the motherboard which, apparently, dislikes my new video card, and so will be replaced as my audio device.
