I have a gateway GT5656 desktop which came with Vista OS. I recently upgraded to win7 ultimate. I then discovered that my drivers were missing for audio, etc. I went to gateway.com and downloaded then installed the audio drivers. This seemed fine but when I went to use the front mic jack I received a message saying that I needed to visit this site and get vista drivers...Is this correct? Shouldn't I get win 7 drivers?
I have a problem locating my Realtek Hd Audio Manager, I have read through many posts such as updating your drivers, uninstalling then re-installing, restarting your computer, make sure to check my BIOS, check in control panel, things like that.
And in conclusion I think I have 2 possible explanations, the first one is that the current driver (updated) doesn't support the realtek hd audio manager? (I read on someone else's post that he had to rollback/downgrade his drivers for his audio manager to appear.
My last solution is... that I don't even have the Realtek Hd Audio manager chip on my motherboard? Possible Nvidia Hd Audio? Because I have 4 Nvidia Hd Audios, and only 1 Realtek.
This is what i'm using, Newegg.com - SONY VPCF116FX/B NoteBook Intel Core i7 720QM(1.60GHz) 16.4" 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 7200rpm BD Combo NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
how i can reinstall my main audio drivers so they stay installed and so i don't have to uninstall and reinstall them at every startup. it still says it's in use if i try to test it before reinstalling. to reinstall it i've been going to playback devices, right click properties, click properties on the new window, change settings on the next, last window click the driver tab and uninstall. then i go to device manager and scan for changes. it's really a pita DISREGARD THIS: ok so i've been trying to port audio from firefox to reaper + asio4all and found that i can do it with VAC. i first tried another program called virtual audio streaming but that didn't work. when i got VAC i uninstalled VAS first. since i've had VAC installed i can't listen to anything over my monitor's speakers (have computer hooked to monitor with hdmi). if i have "Digital Audio (hdmi)" set as the default audio device, the audio won't even start. for example if a start a movie in vlc and then realize there's no sound i can't just switch the default device to something else (usually can do this) i have to stop the video select a different device and start the video again. flash stuff online just won't play until i change the device. if i try to go to the properties of "Digital Audio (hdmi)" > advanced > and hit test it tells me the device is being used by another program. this was making me think that maybe it was because VAC was using that device to port the audio from windows or something. didn't really make complete sense but i uninstalled VAC, restarted my pc and it still does the same thing. i tried uninstalling the drivers (windows default drivers, the downloadable drivers IDT high def audio cause problems with other programs so i don't use them and would prefer not to) and restarting so they would reinstall but that did nothing.
I have had to re-install my windows 7 home after it froze up on me several times. I then changed to windows 7 ultimate but still have the same problem minus the freezing. "NO AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE INSTALLED" I have done all that I can think of including re-installing drivers checking with tech reports from others and so on all I find is for vista or XP. In the device manager I have an exclamation point on "HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO CONTROLLER" and the red X on the speaker symbol in the system tray. I've tried everything I can find to no avail. Also my USB ports no longer work as well. My Toshiba is model L505D-LS5007
Previously i had smart audio for better performance of the sound and now after installing windows 7 home premium again that is not available. Please advice me what to do in downloading it. The internal harddisk got damaged and i had to install everything manually and so I have downloaded the conexant sound driver from toshiba site
System has been blessed with a new lease of life. Faster, more responsive and my god Windows 7 looks sexy! Now, if there is a tiny niggle of an issue, then it is why I am posting today. I have the Creative Xtreme Audio soundcard on my system and Windows 7 has updated it to all the latest drivers. Sound seems ok and thus far it is not reporting any problems. I have the Creative Media Organiser and all the other mod cons etc etc. However, where has my Volume Panel interface gone? In Win XP, I had it permanently attached to my task bar. Basically, a little volume icon if you like in bottom right corner with everything else. You right click the icon and then you get the entertainment console where you can change settings etc. Looked nice, even in XP. I must admit I'm a tad disappointed it's not here in Windows 7 and also confused as to why everything else is here except that facility.Do I have to download it separately? I don't fancy putting my original CD in that came with PC from day one as I'd have to manually look for that particular component and extract it. Infact, I don't even know if that is an option as I am pretty sure it formed part of the whole "Medisource Go" package and I have that and it's up to date.
I understand without being in some sort of perfectly quiet environment/home studio, nothing can be perfect.That aside, I recently purchased a new USB condenser mic (cardoid) and it can pick up all sort of sounds from my keyboard typing, mouse clicks, and my PC fans. My PC is positioned about as far as it will go without pulling the plugs out. It might also be worth noting there are no speakers on my PC. I've also read there is supposed to be a Microphone Boost in my recording settings as well as a Microphone Enhancements tab? There never has been, on any mic I've used on my PC. And it's been suggested that this might be a possible fix, but I'm sort of doubtful on that.I've been thinking of investing in more audio equipment (shock mount, scissor arm, pop filter?) or perhaps returning it for a different mic altogether.
i cant get my dell mini (16gb ssd, 2 gb ram) to install a clean boot of RC1 7100. It sticks at cd/dvd driver missing. what gives with this? does anyone really have an answer?i have verified the hash, burned at 1x, 2x, 4x, run from a bootable flash drive, stood on my head, etc. What driver is it looking for?
i had a virus and i ended up wiping out my operating system, then i bought windows 7 and installed it. But when i did, the display adapter for my laptop screen disappeared. I have been dual screening for awhile because i had an accident and my screen cracked so i've been using an external monitor. I try to play online games but i cant because my graphics card is kind of innactive and i cant find a way to get another driver to get the laptop screen to come back on. can anyone help me?
Ok so I think I have a new one. I downloaded a copy of Windows 7 and obtained a key through the MSDNA program that my uni subscribes to. This is a completely legitimate operation that (from what I can see) is putting out the release version of window 7 a bit early. When installing I don't get any "This is beta software, it may break" style messages and while I can't find the version string, I'm thinking that it is what is going to go out to the public.
Through the MSDNA program a downloader gets the iso, and then verifies the CRC so there is no chance of a download error.
So I try to install and every time get "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. (etc)".
Here is what I have tried, roughly in order.
Official sata, then raid, then ide drivers from motherboard manufacturer (via flash drive). Using IDE cd drive (liteon) instead of sata cd drive (liteon) Using a usb-based cd drive (optiarec) on different usb ports with various states of other drives plugged in / not plugged in. Using a flash drive to install by copying files from iso. (worked fine.
Same cd error messageTried this with various states of including and removing cd drives because I though if installer could not see any drive it may cry. Tried along with above drivers. Tried along with all previous vista installed drivers from drivestore folder and around. (took bloody ages) Tried with other non-official drivers Tried a few cd, ahci, etc drivers from vista.
Tried various states of using previous versions (7100 and 7048) drivers. Went back to the sata drive, then the IDE drive with various different bios settings. Tried sata drive on different chipset (I have two different sata controllers on the board). Unfortunately could not turn main sata controller off because I need it for my hdd.
Tried various drivers and driver packs semi-official, then anything I could find on rapidshare etc. These included large nforce packs. Tried removing all the sata hdds except the ones I need. Burnt a 7100 dvd which seemed to work fine. Tried cd swapping at various stages of install (i'm getting desperate here). Tried changing boot order as per windows kb [edit] Also: (gah it deleted my edit)
I am running a M2N32-sli deluxe board. It's an epic board with vast amounts of feature but I can't set ahci / ide (etc) mode on it. I don't have the official driver cd for this board any more, but I've tried all the official drivers and they don't work. I'm trying to install onto raided raptors, So I can't install on a different system and move the drives (I could but it would be messy and I'm not quite that desperate yet).
I think thats it I have read every forum thread tried everything I possibly can. The stupid thing Is that in searching for a driver I can look in my large (1tb) volumes, the flash drive, and cd drives and even my raided raptor drives. Everything works fine but because of this (I'm beginning to believe bugged) screen I can't go any further.
To try next:
Different methods of flash installation (bartpe instead of straight copy) Bios updates for motherboard / drives (pretty sure running close to top version though). Other ... dirty ... tricks.
I'm supposed to be getting this version as the pre-cutting edge wave of folks who are going to say yer go get this it's awesome and people believe me because I do everything with computers. If I can't get past things like this then lamen folk sure as hell aren't going to be able to.
I'm building a multimedia server that is going to be running Windows 7 Ultimate as the OS. I have a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate and I created a bootable flash drive and loaded the ISO files on it.
This new system doesn't even have a CD/DVD drive installed on it which is why I'm using a flash drive to install it. Everything boots up fine from the beginning, asks me for the language and all the other stuff. When I click on INSTALL it then gives me a screen that says:
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for his step." I have done a little bit of research and people suggest using the SATA drivers for the motherboard. I've tried that and still doesn't work. I have all the minimal stuff on the motherboard. Only one SATA HDD (500GB WD Green) 2GB of RAM, USB keyboard and mouse and that's it.
The only thing I can think of is that Windows doesn't realize it's being installed from a flash drive. I tried hooking up a DVD ROM drive to see if that would help but still got the same error.
i am running a acer aspire 5336-2524 and i am trying to use a vga, however, i am getting no sound from my t.v. i figure that that is just because i dont have the sound driver for vga, is this the case and where can i find it?
I recently downloaded and installed Windows 7. My motherboard is an MSI K9N6PGM2-V with realtek onboard audio. I have tried the XP and Vista drivers and still can not get the sound to work. The device manager shows the driver installed. The volume is turned up. I may try to upgrade the os from a working XP copy to Windows 7. Anybody have any other ideas or solutions?
I'm having a problem with my Itouch not being detected as well as a missing driver (PCI Flash Memory). Im not overly concerned about the driver but is anyone else having issues with ther ipods and Windows 7?
Also, is there a version of adobe flash player that works with this OS?
I have a machine I am fixing, and the HTTP non plug-and-play driver is missing; I would like to reinstall it without a restore. I am running SFC /scannow at the moment to try and fix it as well.
I have been trying to install Windows 7 Professional x86 several times, and always encounter the same problem.
I downloaded Windows 7 via the MSDN Academic Alliance and then copied all files to a recently reformatted 4Gb USB stick.
Then I changed the BIOS settings on my computer to boot from the USB drive, and it boots and then starts. When i press on the Install button however, it says its starting the install but then quickly and the following message appears;
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step." The message also allows me to browse for said missing drivers, but i cant find any drivers anywhere.

I am getting an error that the driver is missing when I am trying to Install Windows 7 on a new VM. My VM environment is version esx 3.5. What disk driver do I need, and where can I get it?
