    Intel MOBO with Onboard Audio -ATI Azalia Audio Device

    Cannot get any sound out of the speakers at all.

    When I try to play a CD I get :
    'Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it.'

    I ran thru and verified that the Audio it is enabled in the BIOS and then I downloaded the latest drivers and ran the update.

    But no good - Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices says
    'No Audio Device'.

    Any ideas???

    Is there a hardware diagnostic I can run to determine if the Onboard Audio is DOA???

    TIA for any help!!!

    If you goto "Hardware Manager" (right click "My Computer > Properties > Hardware tab and Device Manager) have a look at the Sound in here are there any yellow ! or red X next to any of the devices?

    HI,

    Thanks for the reply.

    No - they all appear to be OK.

    I see a 'Speaker' icon next to:
    -Audio Codecs
    -Legacy Audio Drivers
    -Legacy Video Capture Devices
    -Media Control Devices
    -Video Codecs

    I was hoping for a diagnostic utility to validate the onboard audio.

    Any ideas if such a thing exists?

    Thanks again for your help!!!!

    You could try "dxdiag" and explore your sound this way. Hit your windows button and R at the same time (Run) and type in dxdiag see if this will let you test your sound more thoroughly.

    Hi Bold Eagle,

    Thanks for the tip about dxdiag.

    I ran it and on the Sound Tab was the message:

    "No sound card was found. If one is expected, you should install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer."

    I'm gonna say the on-board Audio must be fried and I'll try to get a warranty replacement from Intel.

    Thanks again for all your help!!!!!

    That certainly seems the next most reasonable option. Good luck, explain all you have done upto this point and you shouldn't have any issues.
