Lost my audio... [Resolved]

General Discussion (off topic) Anything and everyt

Hey guys, time for me to post a help request :).

Ok, as the topic title already explains, I lost my audio after the downgrade from Vista to XP. I’ve installed the latest drivers, used driver updater software. And used my cd to try to repair it. I’ve read most sites using Google about this problem but it didn’t work…

Info:

  • no security software yet…
  • XP service pack 3
  • used Driver Magician

Audio : STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio from Sigmatel…

Could you please help me out with this as I find it really annoying (especcially when playing shooter games ;D)

Thx in advance

Try putting it into another pci slot and let Windows find it again. Thats an idea.

For a laptop, if you haven’t already: Go to device manager and uninstall the card, then reboot and you should get the “found new hardware” that will let you go out to the internet and find a driver. Good luck; ed.

Next step is to hound the vendor if that doesn’t work. :slight_smile: Or see if they have another (foreign) website with drivers - like a .tw or .ch -they often have different stuff.

Or just upgrade to Vista again… Well, I’ll try a bit further and see if it works out or not… Otherwise I’ll downgrade again ;).
Oh yeah, didn’t work btw

I’ve got my driver to work now… I’ve registered to driverguide and they posted some extra tool also. And it seems that that did it. I’ll upload it also, so that other members who could have problems can download it to…

Topic locked as it is resolved, and as I am a mod, I need to open it myself >:(

Guys, all of you, thx for your help (:HUG)
