The little sound manager icon beside my clock isn't there anymore so I went to control panel opened up sounds and audio devices and it says I have no playback devices. So I went to the hardware tab and noticed that my main audio playback device isn't there anymore. I also tried restoring my system but there's nothing backed up.
How do I get my audio device back?

This is a serious problem and I need help.

can someone please help me

What kind of a computer do you have?
Do you have a drivers disk with it?
Is this more serious then a heart attack... if so seek medical attention.

Ok im gunna try some basics with you 1st before we assume your sound device isnt in devive manger go into control panel open sound and audio devices and you will see 2 boxs in the center , one of those boxs has place volume into task bar , if that box is unchecked , make sure it is ticked.
You will notice if the box was unchecked your sound manger has reappeared near your clock

If this doesnt solve your problem i need to know everything about your sound and audio devices to solve this matter.

I dont think so , its coming up on your device that you have nofing seleted , you may still ned a driver . But you can give it a shot.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF tell me the model of your sound card!! ;D and i will get you a driver it appears your driver isnt installed . and follow this set instructions:
1. right click my computer
2.click manage
3.computer managment will come up
4.click device manger
5.A list of all your devices will appearr scroll down to sound video and game controllers
6,expand them via pressing the little plus sigh
7.look for your sound device
8.right click your sound device and click properties
9. under device status it will tell you if your speakers are working properly
10. next to the general tab you will notice another proprties tab click it
11. audio deivces , midi devices and instruments , and mixer devices are there . expand them all via pressing the little plus again , your audio devive should be under all of them. highlight the 1st one example ( FOR ME IT WOULD BE ( RELTEK AC97) then below all that hit properties make sure the (USE AUDIO FEATURES ON THIS DEVICE box is checked , do the same all all of the options in properties.
12. It may ask you to restart , do so if asked.
Plan 2 : If all else fails
Rolling back your driver , now when you roll back your driver it will go back to a preious drover that worked fine , so roll back your driver after you have done all this , im gunna need to know the soundcard you have and your speaker model and make so i can get you the correct drivers.
I will countine after you have done all of what ive asked
