Okay, then reinstall the drivers.

If that doesn't do it, then you need to install a Sound Card.
This is because the audio chipset on the motherboard is bad.

Go to Device Manager, and reinstall?
Naa!
Works sometimes, sometimes not.

Go to eMachines Support, download, AND install the drivers.
This DOES work.

{ If it doesn't, as said the audio chipset on the motherboard is bad }

http://support.gateway.com/us/en/emac/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=1625

See where it states -
Need to know the hardware on your system to install the right driver?
Click on the -
Download Hardware Vendor Detection Utility

This IS NOT going to automatically download the audio driver you need.
It is going to tell you what audio chipset vendor you have, for your motherboard.

With this information you can choose between the two Audio driver files listed, and choose the correct one.

See which one you need?
Version 6.10.0.5274, Or, 6.10.5405.0 ?

Go to back to the driver page, and click on the appropriate driver.
A small window will come up on the right.
Click on Save File.

A small window will come up on the left.
At the top of this window tells you where the file will download to.
It may have Desktop, or Documents, or Downloads, in the wording.

Desktop: The driver file will be on your desktop screen.

Documents: Click on the Windows logo button, (Start), and then on Documents.

Downloads: Click on the Windows logo button, then on Documents.
Now click on Downloads.

When you see the driver file, DOUBLE-click on it.
In the next three small windows click on Next, Next, and Finish.

If you are not asked to restart your computer, close all windows, go back to your desktop screen.
Restart your computer.

(Windows logo button, Restart)

No joy when Windows loads back up?
You need a Sound Card.

One example,

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1111756&csid=_61

[ The eMachines T5224 Desktop PC uses an Intel D945GCL motherboard,

http://www.ascendtech.us/intel-d945gcl-1066fsb-ddr2-pcie-x16-sata_i_mb4intd945gcl.aspx

Scroll down a little to the larger photo.
If one of the long white PCI expansion slots are open, you can install the above Sound Card in it.

If not, you can use the short Black PCI-E X1 connector,
BELOW the long white PCI slots.

Instead of a PCI sound card, use a PCI-Express x1 sound card,
Example,

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2941926&CatId=2769

DO NOT forget to unplug the computer from power, and FOLLOW Anti-Static Precautions BEFORE reaching inside the computer, AND before taking that Sound Card out of it's anti-static bag, or carton.

Do not know what Anti-Static Precautions are?

SOURCE: No Audio Output Device Installed

Hi

To immediately fix these errors in Vista, start the Windows Audio service as follows:

  1. Click Start c00834869.gif , and enter services.msc into the Start Search field.
  2. From the list of services, right-click Windows Audio and select Start . Figure 23: Starting the Windows Audio service c00847914.gif
  3. The message should no longer open. If the message opens again after the computer is restarted, repeat these steps, select Properties for Windows Audio and set Startup Type to Automatic.
If you have XP on the computer, then click Start-->Run and then type "services.msc" in the Run window and then click OK and once you get the Windows Services screen, follow the above steps.
If this doesnt work and the sound card is not onboard or integrated, then reseat the sound card preferably into a different slot and repeat the above steps.

Look in the windows device manager for an entry with a exclamation mark.
Dubbelclick it and let it search for a driver.

Audio output device

Hi.

The audio output device in your computer is the audio adapter board (or circuit). This is the device that produces sounds and send them to the speakers.

If you get a message telling you that there is no Audio Output Device detected, or that the Audio Device is not working, that usually means that there is a problem with the audio driver.

In that case the problem is often fixed downloading and reinstalling the drivers for your audio device. If there is a problem with the audio output device, go to the computer manufacturer website (e.g. Dell, HP, Sony etc.) and download the audio drivers for your specific model. When download is complete install the drivers and restart the computer.

Regards.

Problems with audio after installing radeon hd 2400

Hi,

This happens because the video card has hdmi output. Since hdmi output can carry audio signals also, the audio driver gets disabled. Uninstall audio driver and video driver both, install the video driver, and then install audio driver. after installing the audio driver, in playback and recording devices choose choose the audio output device you purchased along with the computer. This should fix the issue.

Revert back for any clarifications.

Warm Regards,
