This is a Vista issue because the unit works fine on an XP machine. Vista seem to recognize it and install the drivers when it's plugged in, including the message that the device has installed successfully. The only thing I can think of is that the drivers are bad. I've remove the device from device manager and nothing seems to help

Although the built in speakers in my laptop work perfectly - music, dvds, videos, etc. - my vista default sound scheme has stopped working. It was working previously and I am at a loss to understand why it has stopped. I have checked that the speakers are not muted, ensured that the levels are properly set, checked that I have the most up to date driver, etc., etc., etc. None of the sounds work, including the start up, normal alerts and so on. When I go to the sound scheme and test individual sounds they do not play, however, if I open the individual sound files they will sound in media player. I know there is an expert out there somewhere who will know what to do.

Lately when I've tried looking at different folders and files on my hard drives I keep getting "Windows Explorer has stopped working and will restart." It's driving me nuts, I can barely do anything.
Also, same thing with Internet Explorer...I'm getting real sick of Vista's shoddiness..

By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem.
Thus far I've experienced:
"Internet Explorer has stopped working"
"Windows Explorer has stopped working"
"Word has stopped working"
"Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working"
"Outlook has stopped working"
"Acid 4.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Acid 6.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Sound Forge (Sony) has stopped working"
Is it not obvious by now that Vista has a problem, maybe a compatability problem, with everything from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word to third party programs which cause programs, as I mentioned, even programs made by Microsoft, to "stop working"? Is there no an overall "stopped working" patch or something that Microsoft has released by now?...............

All of a sudden some of my programs stopped working, for example catalyst control center is supposed to start as soon as vista starts, but now it gives me an error like:
"CCC.exe has stopped working"
Same with some others...
Yes i ran AVG, i ran malware, and superantispyware, none of them finds anything.
I cant even load daemon tools now, it gives me some error: "Engine loading was failed", cant uninstall it, it gives me another error, and some of the programs like netlimiter if i start them from my objectdock dock they automaticly stop working, only when i start them from the normal .exe they dont crash.

I recently upgraded to windows vista and my SD X-Fi no longer works. I've gone through every setting possible but there is no sound. Is there some special driver I need?

Back in June I installed Vista onto my machine (prior to this I ran xp for 3 years and the sound worked). I was ok with the sound not working since I had a bluetooth headset which worked fine...It's starting to get annoying now. I have a gigabyte motherboard with AC'97 (ALC850 codec) on board sound card. The driver is up to date. I have the volume icon, and it shows my speakers in the play back device section. When I play an audio file, the green bar lights up on the speaker icon.
I can't find the thread now but I did try the suggestion of opening up the playback devices, right clicking in an empty area and showing all disabled devices...there wasn't any devices hidden. Hopefully I provided enough information, if not please ask. I really don't want to buy a sound card but it's looking like I might not have a choice.

I installed the freshest realtek drivers to go with my IP35 motherboard and my Logitech x-530 5.1 surround still wont play the center or subwolfer speakers. In Vista-64s audio settings I played around with different configurations and did wire re-assigning that didn't work either, it seems people are having similar problems. Anyone have a fix for this?

While trying to uninstall Comodo, I had an error and the computer froze. I shut it off and it wouldn't boot - not even in Safe Mode. So I used ERUNT to fix the Registry from a command prompt. Unfortunately, the latest ERUNT file was corrupted - so I had to go back about a week. The computer then booted, but I found many changes in some of my data and settings. Also, I cannot get the sound to work. I again used ERUNT from Windows with the same backup I used from the command prompt. All indications on the computer indicate that the sound is working. But when I try to test the speakers and microphone, I get a message which says there is no sound. I have uninstalled the two sound items in Device Manager and used find hardware to reinstall them. I even reinstalled the drivers. Device Manager says there is no problem with the sound items and they say they are working properly.

When i had XP on my computer everything was working fine. I did an overlay of Vista and now any audio device with a jack won't work.. My USB headphones do... I have gone through all the playback settings, searched through all of control panel to do with sound. I have downloaded the necessary realtek drivers (High Definition Audio Device) and nothing. I have also tried plugging the jack in the front instead of the back. The speakers work on any XP machine... just having troubles with my vista machine.

I have a problem, since I rebooted my computer, (I have windows vista) HP Computer / Since I rebooted, my sound works on the computer no problem, BUT the earphone jack doesn't work. Now, the computer sees the earphones, but it doesn't work, no sound comes-out of the earphones, I still hear the sound from the computer.
What can I do to solve this problem? I have tried everything, like I said, the computer read the earphones, but no sound comes-out, even if the earphones wouldn't work, the sound would be in the earphones but if broken, just wouldn't work. Now all the earphones I tried work, just no sound! .

I just recently formatted and reinstalled Vista because i changed my motherbored and Processor so i felt like a new start. After waiting for all the Windows updates to finish i turned on some music and my Sound was messed up, i have sound it just dosn't seem to work right.On some ill be able to hear everything but the singer and on others and hear only the singer. This also effects games, i turn on my scarface seeing it was closest game near me and installed it, on that i can't hear Scarfaces voice, or the cars around me but i can hear other people speak. Does anyone know whats wrong with my sound? I use the soundcard that is built onto my motherbored because i have never had need of a Sound card in the past. my new motherbored is an MSI motherbored and my processor is Intel core 2 duo.

Few days back, I was installing/uninstalling some programs. I don't know what went wrong, but I found the links in "Computer" are not working. When I open "My Computer" ("Computer" in Vista), all the links like "Device Manager", "Remote Settings" etc are not working. It says for "Device Manager" - "Windows cannot find '%SystemRoot%\system32devmgmt.msc". However, if I run the same command from a DOS window, it exists. This is same for all the other links.
My sound icon in the task bar is also marked a permanent red cross. If I open Volume Mixer, it says - No audio device found. But I can still hear sound.

having no success with vista at all. It randomly freezes after a few minutes, even when just sitting on the desktop. Keyboard and mouse do not work when this happens. It has done this everytime i have turned it on. Have all up to date drivers and latest bios. The sound was working fine, but turned it on yesterday morning and now it has stopped working. When playing music, the equaliser when you left click on the sound icon in the tray shows activity, but nothing out of the speaker. Have tried reinstalling the driver but had no success, and also using different speakers.

I can hear some videos and others I can not. I can hear parts of videos and other parts I can not. For instance. On boston .com I wanted to hear video of red sox spring training. I can hear the players swinging and hittings balls but, I can not hear the commentator in the same video. Are you kidding me.Im not a happy camper.

On my Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1 under Windows Ultimate 64-bit, I noticed that all audio recorded by my microphone (connected via 3.5mm jack into the sound card - I don't have this problem with USB microphones) would play back heavily distorted, as if I were speaking through a spinning fan. Anyway, I thought I would post a solution that appears to work for me (so far):
1. Right-click on the volume icon in the task bar and select 'Recording Devices'.
2. Ensure that the microphone is set as the Default recording device (indicated by a white tick mark in a green circle).
3. Select the microphone and click on Properties. The microphone properties window pops up.
4. Click on the 'Custom' tab and check the box for 'Microphone +20dB Boost'. This increases the microphone's sensitivity to sound..... now play back free of distortion - test this with a program such as Applian's Freecorder. While the sample rate setting appears to 'stick', I find that whenever my computer comes out of Sleep mode or reboots, the 'Microphone +20db Boost' check box goes back to being unchecked. Anyway, if you have been frustrated by distorted audio playback from microphone recordings,

My laptop froze during a shutdown process and I was forced to turn it off by holding the power button down. Since then my USB hub seems to have stopped working; anything plugged into it doesn't even turn up on the computer even though all the lights on them are on (indicating they are receiving power at the very least). How can I fix this?

I keep getting a window telling me that internet explorer has stopped working and then closes all my programs and I have to start over. This used to happen only every once in a while but now it happens everytime I try to close a program. I then have to start all over with the programs I had running.

I am currently running Vista Home Premium x64. After a few weeks of using Vista and WMP 11, I learned through these forums that there is a 64-bit version of WMP 11, so I tried it by running the "wmplayer.exe" file in the Program Files directory (not Program Files x86). After a few seconds, I got the dreaded "Windows Media Player has stopped working" error message, along with a prompt to close the program - no additional useful information was provided. After uninstalling any and all codecs, using the SFC utility, using a registry cleaner, and any other suggestion I could find, WMP x64 still would not work for me.
So, I performed a clean install of VISTA HPx64. And, lo and behold, the first time I double-clicked wmplayer.exe in the Program Files directory, it worked! I tried it a few more times and it was still working, so I quickly downloaded the 64-bit Vista Codec package, and used the utilities in the package for switching the default player and registry entries to 64-bit. When I tried to run WMP, I once again got the "Windows Media Player has stopped working" message. I uninstalled the Vista Codecs package, restarted the computer, and still it would not work. I reran the SFC utility, and no corrupt files were found. Curiously, the first time I ran the 32-bit WMP, I was shown a dialog box for choosing options and doing initial set-up; when I ran the 64-bit WMP for the first time, I was given no such set-up opportunity.......

I have Vista Ultimate 64bit, with Realtek onboard sound on my mother board. However, my Quadraphonic speakers don't seem to be working as I can only get sound to come out of my front two speakers when in WMP etc. when I go into control panel, I can get sound coming out of all 4 speakers, that silly test sound.

I have spent hours on the net, on the manufacturers websites, in random forums, Only to not find an awnser, and be left without sound. Nothing is muted, All drivers are supposedly up to date, tried uninstalling/re-installing, Tried letting windows update do it.............no luck. Seriously about ready to take a slegehammer to my laptop, lol.
