I scan the pc with driver update software and it updated the realtek audio driver since then i am getting "audio device is disabled". no audio is heard i uninstalled the driver software and did uninstall and reinstall the audio driver but same problem. I searched in the net also but couldn't find it helpful. please help.

Are you on Windows? do you have System Restore Enabled on your system drive? Most likely it might have created a restore point before driver install. Try system restore and check. Have you tried with installing the original driver that came with the motherboard or sound card?

Check if any underlying services e.g Windows Audio got disabled somehow. Generally it gives a different message like 'Audio Service Not running' in that case though.

One should never ever use those "driver updaters."

Try restore first. Remove the current with revo.

Tried installing from original driver but still same problem.

How about System Restore?

Also when you are uninstalling the Driver did you also select 'Delete Driver Software for this Device'?

Yh I did that.

Is it a laptop or desktop?Check BIOS if anyone disabled on board Audio.
