[Solved] "no audio device" uninstalled now cant find it?

Forum Windows Vista : Drivers [Solved] "no audio device" uninstalled now cant find it?

Hello,
Okay, this is really stupid. But here it goes. I updated my windows vista laptop(crappy) and then I open my laptop and there's a little X over my speaker saying "No Audio Output Device Is Installed" So I did a little research and was told to uninstall and reinstall. So I did, then when I went to reinstall, I couldn't find the thing to reinstall. HELP please!! I'm in high school and do a lot of youtube based homework to do reports on. This is my only homework source (stupid but yes) please help me!!

Vista maybe different.
1. OPEN YOUR "CONTROL PANEL"...THEN OPEN "HARDWARE AND SOUND"
2. LOOK FOR AND CLICK OPEN "DEVICE MANAGER"
3. SCROLL DOWN TO '' SOUND,VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLER''
4. RIGHT CLICK "SOUND VIDEO AND GAME OPTION"...THEN AN OPTION WILL COME UP SAYING..."SCAN FOR HARDWARE CHANGES"...CLICK IT AND HEY PRESTO...YOUR SOUNDS AND VIDEO AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING!
