What does it mean when it says "There are no active mixer devices available" I keep on getting this warning every time I try to raise the volume on my computer. This started when I reset my computer for having a virus.

Sounds to me your sound card drivers need to be reinstalled. But that's about as much as I can guess given the info.

I agree with Sip, or this or something you have installed (codecs) or something which screwed everything.

Well the audio does not work and when I open the volume control, it says: There are no active mixer devices
available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Add Hardware.
This Program will now close.
I do not have "Printers and Other Hardware" when I go to Other Hardware, it says that everything works properly, what can I do to hear audio?
Hope this is more information. If so is it still the sound card?

click control penal, go to system, click hardware tab, select DEVICE MANAGER, select sound card, right click and go to DRIVER tab, and roll the driver back or update.
or get a dissent virus program, AVG, NORTON, etc... spyware "spy sweeper" which cleans your web root, but most likely your driver is no good

click the "+" of sound, video and game controlers (third one from the bottom) at device manager.
Second one is "legacy audio drivers" right click and you will see "update driver"

You have to open your computer and put one of these inside.

Thanks for your help everyone. My computer has volume now. All I had to do was download a sound card like you guys said and it works great now.
