ExtraHye Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Sounds to me your sound card drivers need to be reinstalled. But that's about as much as I can guess given the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I agree with Sip, or this or something you have installed (codecs) or something which screwed everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraHye Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sorry but I dont understand what that means. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm not very good with computers. 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
