Could a kind soul take a look about my No Audio Device
[FONT=Georgia]For some reason, after I reformated my computer my audio devices stopped working. My sound worked perfectly before i reformatted. The audio device appears just fine in the Device Manager, but in the Sounds and Audio Devices Control Panel I kept getting the "No Audio Devices" message. All options in this control panel item were grayed out. When rebooting the computer I do hear the initial beep, but that is it! I am also unable to even access the system volume and receive the following message:
Error Message: (when attempting to adjust the system volume)
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.
