One of our reader asked solution for “no sound” after installing Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Although most of the users have upgraded to the service pack 2 (SP2), this user is still on SP1.

Vista SP2 installation should fix sound related problems in SP1. However, Microsoft Fix it team has come up with a automated solution for troubleshooting sound problems that you experience after installing Windows Vista Service Pack.

Sound related problems include:

* No sound is produced when you play audio files or run programs that have an audio component.

* The speaker symbol next to the clock in the notification area may display the following message:
No Audio Output Device is installed

* The Sound Controller in Device Manager displays a yellow exclamation point.

* The sound quality changes. For example, if you previously had surround sound, you may now have stereo sound.

If you are also facing any of the above problems, download and run the automated Fix it tool. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to fix your sound related issues post the service pack installation.
