AMA! Spiceworks OriginalsĪsk me Anything is a series where we interview experts with unique expertise, opinions, and stories. Most companies don't get a passing grade. Hi,I manage an Office 365 tenancy and whilst my jobs were quiet I thought I'd start to tackle something thats been bothering me.As stated in my description I have a user that looks something like I teach cybersecurity at Harvard. Unknown User in Office 365 called 'Package_' Cloud Computing & SaaS.With all of those Google Meet / Zoom / Teams sessions under your belt, we bet you have some opinions on how to make t. and you've supported the hardware that enables them. Tell us about webcams and video conferencing systems for 75 points! SpiceworksĬhances are, you've been on a lot of video meetings over the past couple of years.I don't want to reimage this device, We use a lot of specialized software that is a pain to reinstall so any ideas will be extremely helpful. I couldn't find anything in the event viewer either related to sound or audio. Rolled windows itself from 21H1 to 20H2 and removed any windows updates prior: Failed. Rolled back windows to an early date when the sound was working: failed. Ran DISM anyways because I'm reaching at this point: Failed. Ran SFC thinking it may be corrupted windows files. Performed a clean boot, disabled all non windows services and startup software : failed. Moved the SSD to another P320 with known working sound. Tried a bluetooth dongle with some headphones paired / then a logitech USB headest: failed - it will see the audio devices in settings and in device manager but still no output device found.Ĭheck for high and low driver filters: none for sound I checked the device manager and no red flags there, aside from that these are the steps that I tried to fix the issue:Ĭhecked bios to see if onboard audio was disabled: it's enabledĬhanged drivers to 'high definition audio device' instead of Realtek: failed The volume icon on the tray shows a red x followed by speaker setup (UNKOWN) and under playback/recording tabs it will say do output / input device.

The machine is a Lenovo Thinkstation P320 And I have done everything I could possibly think of to fix this with no avail.įirst, this is the problem. I have a user whose sound on his machine just randomly stopped working.

Laptop no output devices found
