Thread context: reported a Windows 7 error (“The call failed due to Sound Devices Problem”). Replies from pointed toward a driver update and discussed VoIP alternatives. The guidance below focuses on system-level diagnostics and fixes that were not covered in the replies, to help determine whether the problem is an application, driver, OS service, or hardware failure.

Common system checks often missed:

  • Verify Windows services: ensure Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder are set to Automatic and are Running (Services → services.msc).
  • Confirm the correct playback device is enabled and set as the Default Device (Sound control panel → Playback → View disabled devices). If HDMI/optical is present, confirm the intended device is selected.
  • Inspect Device Manager (Sound, video and game controllers) for yellow triangles or disabled devices and remove old/ghost drivers (show non‑present devices).
  • Review Event Viewer (Windows Logs → System/Application) for AudioSrv, Kernel‑PnP, or driver errors at the time the failure occurred.

Useful diagnostics and commands:
From an elevated command prompt run:

sfc /scannow

To show and remove hidden devices before uninstalling stale drivers:

set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc

Also check whether audio services start or report errors in Event Viewer rather than silently failing.

If the problem is app‑specific (VoIP client vs. system sounds): confirm the app’s audio device selection, check Windows’ “Default Communication Device” vs “Default Device”, and disable exclusive mode in the device’s Advanced properties. If sound works everywhere except the VoIP app, focus on that app’s settings or reinstall it.

Notes and cautions: obtain drivers from the hardware or motherboard vendor, not random sites. If diagnostics point to hardware (no output with multiple OS/apps), try a USB audio adapter or test with a Linux Live USB to confirm failure. As a last resort, consider a system restore to a known good point or a clean Windows repair.

I had the same problem, I found the following solution at www.noaudiooutput.com

Find the latest version of your driver, download it, uninstall your current driver and install the new one. After uninstalling the driver and reboot it to automatically reinstall it, the audio still may not work. Amazingly though, sometimes after putting the system in hibernate mode and coming back, the audio worked.
