No audio output device is installed

Have you install the motherboard onboard sound drivers?

What is your motherboard make and model?

i agree you just need the right driver!

the computer is an hp 9710 and it has a quanta motherboard, i think the sound card which is intergrated is bad, can't install a driver if the os can't find a device and i am running win 7

Have you tried to run the MS sound diagnostics to try and get a more definitive answer to what the problem may be? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/no-soun...
