Help :(
 

Right guys and girls I'm useless with pc's all i do is wreck them, right well my friend gave me a vista home basic disk after losing my xp one. every since iv plugged in two different sound systems and the pc hasn't picked them up, theres a little red circle with a white cross threw the middle and when you hover the mouse over it says 'no audio output device installed'.
would love some help on this one thanks :)

im not a pc person but have you checked you dont need drivers for your speakers?

Yeah I was also thinking that. Did you get a disk with your speakers? The drivers will be on there. Insert the disk and install the drivers. If that doesn't work, well your screwed I suppose

most companies have the drivers downloadable from their home page as well

I can tell you that its possible nothing will work with Vista.
I recently bought a new PC with it and none of my peripherals are compatible, including a Lexmark all-in-one that I just purchased 6 months ago.
The supposed downloadable Vista drivers dont work.
IMO Vista is a total flop.
Im yanking it and going with XP.

nope no disk with either of the systems and agree with the above post vista is shitty but i haven't got a choice so I'll just have to live with it, arr well il have to go buy myself a usb head set, they seem to work


thanks anyway guys :)

Vista is a great operating system but you have to have hardware that supports it. If the audio card is your only problem then you should determine exactly what audio card you have and check the vendors site for a Vista compatible driver and/or instructions.

If the audio card is not compatible then you will need to obtain a Vista compatible audio card.

You guys are right vista is the worst system anyone can get, that's why i didn't upgrade mine to vista, and here is an idea try buying a new computer, A mac or a pc with xp.

lol, I work with computers, pc, notebooks, legacy tablets and tablet pc's on dailey basis.

I'd love to know what your analysis of the Vista operating system is and how you determined it is the "worst operating system anyone can get"??

^ ha, better yet lets hear your assesment as to what the big advantage it has over XP.
I dont see that its better so much as it is different.
To me its another marketing ploy.
They just get the bugs worked out of XP and BAM! here we go again.

ill tell you my honest oppinion. i have used xp and vista (for a short while. i hate it when things fuk up that why it was a short time.) i have also had a mac for the last 3 months or so and i love it. yeh ok so xp n vista are for the budget pc's but ive even tryed vista on a mac at a friend house who was running bootcamp and vista even manages to crash a mac. lol

to be honest yeh great if you have a microsoft pc then stick with it if you like it and dont upgrade because vista should be called a "im gonna screw you life and you pc up bigtime grade."

my opinion get a mac, easyer to use and as we all know microsoft copyed osx tiger with its main features when doveloping vista

a good watch:
