But unfortunately, there are such cases when an error is displayed that the sound devices are not installed. Let's figure out how to set the specified view of the devices on this OS after physical connection.

The sound device may not be installed if the driver is incorrectly installed on the computer or they are generally not the product of the developer of this equipment. In this case, it is necessary to reinstall them or replace them with the correct option.

It can also interfere with the installation of equipment. In this case, the procedure is somewhat more complicated than in the previously described situation.

First of all, you need to take care of the stock you have on hand the correct driver from the official manufacturer. The best option, if present on a support (e.g., CD), which is supplied together with the device itself. In this case it is enough to insert such a disk into the drive and complete all necessary procedures for installing additional software, including drivers, according to the guidelines displayed on the screen.

Method 3: Elimination of a viral threat

Another reason that the sound device cannot be installed may be the presence of viruses in the system. In this case, it is necessary to determine the threat and eliminate it as soon as possible.

If this or other similar tool finds a threat, then in this case information about it will be displayed in its shell and recommendations on further actions will be given. Just follow them, and the virus will be neutralized.
