This is still a problem in progress, but getting worse. I thought it was a mobo or hardware problem but I have a work around. After booting or coming out of sleep or hibernation, the laptop spreaker ROARS with unbelievably LOUD SCREECHING! This happens just after the motherboard boot screen goes black and the little blinking cursor starts in the upper left corner. It's the point when one would use F8 for the menu. The roar is horrible! Rebooting a dozen times does nothing. I have set the laptop speaker volume to 0 and the post sounds to Off. Nothing affects this roaring sound.
Randomly throughout the day I will hear a constant "bing" noise as if I were disconnecting a USB device. This will go on for about 5 minutes or so then stop randomly. I have checked all of my external and internal connections on my rig and everything is connected. So I believe it is a software issue. I have checked hardware and devices as the anomoly occured and all that happens is a refresh and thats it, nothing to indicate a solution.
I have a C-media sound card (CMI8738/C3DX PCI audio device) that was running fine on XP. But since I changed to Windows 7, the sound became choppy and delayed when watching videos. I used the same driver that I used on XP, I tried updating but Windows 7 said its already up-to-date.
The worst part: I tried uninstalling the driver and my PC turned grayish white..one time I even saw pixels of my mouse on the corner screen, much like a distorted screen of some sort. Even disabling the device crashed the screen same as uninstalling it (like a BSoD). Now I can't change the driver.
Details: MOBO: ECS P4M800 Processor: Pentium D RAM: 1GB Video card: internal, 32 MB shared
Also, my MOBO had internal sound cards running previously on realtek that got busted after an internal short circuit...damn. Its undetected at the device manager.
I have installed a Logitech webcam. It installed a driver called 'Logitech Mic (Notebooks Deluxe)'. The driver causes my computer to hard power off (crashes it immediately) when I start a cam program (u-Broadcast). I know how to disable and un-install the driver through Device Manager/Sound..., but every time I plug something into a USB port or reboot, the driver automatically re-installs itself.
I remember a few years back, when I used Windows XP, that driver updating was sort of troublesome -- sometimes you had to completely remove the older version of the driver to install the newer, and so on.
But.. once I installed Vista, I never really had to deal with that. My NVIDIA drivers always updated properly without uninstalling them first.
Now, I hear people still using programs that entirely erase all traces of a previous driver.. why do they still use those? I don't believe you have to use them anymore to update drivers..
If you install, for example, the latest NVIDIA driver -- the installer erases the previous driver from your system, then installs the new driver.
I think people are living in the past when I hear: "I'm uninstalling my current drivers right now, then I'm gonna run a sweeper to erase all traces of it. Then I have to reboot, and install the updated driver. Then reboot again."
In vista i used to go into safe mode , add remove nvidia drivers and reboot into normal mode it would install the standard vga drivers. However with windows 7 when you reboot into normal mode it installs these wddm(?) drivers and reboots.
Have the old nvidia drivers been uninstalled? and can i just install any previous beta's or new betas over the top?
EDIT : Just installed over the top of the default windows 7 nvidia drivers on uninstalled reboot, seems to work fine so i'll see how it goes!.
My Realtek sound drivers keep on uninstalling themselves. I will install the drivers and I will then reboot as I says too, I reboot and they are there, if I boot the computer down and boot it back up the same day they are fine, no problems. But the next day when I go to boot up the pc I have no sound what so ever, I noticed that I have a HDMI Audio Driver, I disabled this and the problem went away for a few days.
I've tried installing the OS two times, both times my video card has not been recognized. It was properly recognized in the following builds: 7000, 7048, 7057, 7068, 7077. I've tried using ATi Catalyst and also used the following process suggested on techPowerUp! Forums - Powered by vBulletin with no luck:
1, Uninstall existing drivers through Control Panel, reboot in safe mode and run Driver Sweeper to clean up, then:
2, Go here and download the 61.1mb package
3, Go here and download Mobility Modder the install it
4, Go here to download the update, and extract the file into the Mod Tool Directory, overwriting the previous file
5, Run the ATI driver package you downloaded earlier, then cancel after it has been extracted (when you see a black window with orange buttons)
6, Run the Mobility Modder, pointing to the driver folder e.g: C:ATISupport 9_3_vista 64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu
7, When complete, close mobility modder, navigate yourself to the above folder and run setup.exe
8, Go to C:ATISupport9_3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu DriverPackagesDriversDisplay LH6A_INF
9, At the end it will most likely fail, however, before rebooting, go to device manager, right click and and click update driver, click browse my computer for software, then click browse and point to:C:ATISupport9_ 3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enuDriverPackages DriversDisplayLH6A_INF
10, Click next and it should install the driver. Reboot and all should be okay!
I'm using a i5-750, evga P55 classified and 4gb of team xtreem ram. recently I've been getting BSOD when playing games, caused by this file according to bluescreenview. I uninstalled the video card drivers but when I rebooted, for some reason I still have catalyst 12.1 and there doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall them. Tried driver verifier, and after i got the dxgmms1.sys while gaming, it BSOD while rebooting, after the windows loading logo.
I am having trouble getting my vodaphone dongle for internet access on the road installed. My PC refuses to install the drivers properly. It worked fine but it has been about 9 months since I last used it. I have made sure I have the latest drivers downloaded from vodaphone and when I try the dongle in my sons laptop it installs and works fine. I thought I would uninstall the driver from device manager but when I try to do this it just sits there for hours. I have to end up closing device manager down using task manager. I am running Windows 7 on an HP G62 Notebook.
Just installed fresh copy of Windows 7, trying to install Nvidia drivers without any luck, at ALL!
I've downloaded many drivers from 181 to 190 and all I get is "Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again." WHAT THE CRAP?
I've tried to uninstall the current driver, log into safe mode and use driver sweeper to erase every single trace of the old driver, logged back in and tried to install new driver but ALWAYS get the same god damn problem! Why the hell is this happening to me?
I've got Win 7 x64, I've of course downloaded the right drivers!
as stated in the subject, I am unable to hear any sound from my speakers since upgrading to the windows 7 64 bit. I followed the other post that I found on this but I still cannot hear any sound.I have a dell inspiron 531. The hardware ids from the device manager areHDAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0888&SUBSYS_1028020E&REV_1000 HDAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0888&SUBSYS_1028020EI have installed the realtek drivers and they as working but I still get nothing but a slight hiss from my speakers. I have tried them on my laptop and they work fine.Does anybody know what might be causing this? I am half tempted to get a new sound card but I am reluctant as it says my existing one is working (it just seems to have forgotten to tell the speakers!) If anybody knows a fix for this I really would be eternally grateful

I installed a driver for my sound card, only to find out that sound just wouldn't play on my laptop. (It says that the sound is playing, it's just that it isn't coming through the speakers.) I know that the drivers are updated, so if you're going to ask if my driver is updated, the answer to that is yes. At first, I had thought that it was only a problem with the driver, or the hard drive, but that's not it... I don't know what the problem is. I've tried looking for solutions online, but absolutely nothing worked.I don't want to be stuck with the generic "High Definition Audio Device" which will just mute the speakers at the most random times.
I asked some questions yesterday and got a little response but i stil didnt manage get my sound working.
I installed Windows 7 a couple of days ago on a new custom built pc but i cannot get sound.
In the bottom right it just says Digital Audio (S/PDIF) .. i have no speakers in my monitor so i bought some logitech ones, they are all plugged in right placees..
I am trying to install Realtek HD Sound drivers; I have been unable to find any drivers that are written for Windows 7. So I have been downloading the Vista ones without success. I have tried loading them in compatibility mode and under windows vista and xp but each time it just says error during installation or OS not supported.
Does anybody know where I can find Realtek sound drivers for windows 7?
I have onboard Sound Windows 7 finds the drivers i installed and they work fine But everytime i turn the PC on or Reboot Win 7 serches for the drivers and then reinstalls them its driving me mad...i have uninstalled them but as soon as i reboot win 7 finds them and they work fine till i Reboot again.
i had just recently installed windows 7 and i seem to have a prblem with the sound its very poor quality and it never was like this from vista. i think its the sound drivers. my speakers brand is Cyber Acoustics can anyone please help me find some drivers for them?
My sound is working but "line in" and stuff wont show up in sound. So I have sound but no mic. The driver says its a Microsoft driver. The sigmatel audio drivers I tried using were all distorted when I installed them as in the sound would work and everything would show up in Sound but was messed up. Its obviously the wrong driver so I uninstalled it and put the "Microsoft" one back.

I've been trying for a long time to install the drivers for the sound of my ASUS P5VD1-X, that uses the SoundMax AD1888 chipset with no success. I found many solutions for Windows Vista in the web, but no one worked for me. I'm using the build 6801 64 bit. BTW, the Asus site doesn't provides the drivers for Vista, only for XP, 32 or 64 bit. If anyone knows a hack to install XP drivers in the Windows 7 64 bit?
I just reinstalled windows, and tried installing the latest High def audio codec from Realtek and no matter what I do. I just cant get my sound to work. In my playback devices, it still shows the green bar moving showing that sound should be playing, but i cant hear anything. My sound was working fine last night before I reformatted so I doubt anything went wrong with my sound card. I've tried pretty much everything..uninstalling all my audio drivers, then reinstalling the realtek high definition audio ones, and whenever i try to install the AC'97 drivers, it gives me an unauthorized vebdir. I've also tried using the CD that came with my motherboard with no luck. and I have also tried the latest drivers from gigabytes website with no luck.
