View 10 RepliesI just completed a reformat/reinstall on a Dell Dimension 4700 running an OEM version of Windows XP Home Multimedia Edition. I had a few driver issues, but I got them all resolved but one, and that is the Multimedia Audio Controller, which is listed under "other devices" in the Device Manager. When I run the wizard, it says it can't find the driver. I located the device by running msinfo32, and I went to the Dell site and located the driver I need (I think) which is R89530.exe.
I downloaded the driver and it only downloads about 1 Mb of a 7 Mb file. I double clicked to run it anyway, and after going through the standard process of creating a folder for it, this message popped up: "This self-extracting zip file is part of a multidisk zip file. Please insert the last disk of the set." Then when I cancel out of the download, it gives me the message, "An error occurred while unzipping. One or more files were not successfully unzipped. The error code is 190."
I have downloaded the file from Dell USA, Dell Canada, and Dell Europe, as well as from an ftp site I found on Google, which is a list of Dell compatible drivers, and the same thing happens with each download. Have you ever seen this before, and if so, do you know of any solution? I currently have no sound, except for the pathetic little beep the system occasionally makes -- nothing at all out of the speakers.
i just did a clean install on my laptop and upon checking device manager i encounter question sign for (1)Multimedia audio controll (2)Network controller and (3)PCI Modem.Isearch Toshiba site and they do not list my model computer and i have seen the AC97 audio driver elsewhere but it just wont work. Anyone care to point me in the right direction.System is Toshiba Satellite A55-psa50u-03c021, serial number 64094885H, Chipset i855GME. Sound card is AC97(82801db)

I just got a new computer with an AMD Duron processor, 512 M RAM and Windows XP. Only problem is I've got no audio. I've checked BIOS and sound is enabled but Windows doesn't seem to recognize that the speakers are hooked up. When I tried to play system sounds from the Control Panel, I got an error message that said cannot play sound, your sound card may be in use. The computer was a gift that was bought used and the shop didn't have any documentation with the system. I think this might be a driver issue but I'm not sure how to find out which driver to try.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI reinstalled my OS and all my software, shortly thereafter I noticed I had an issue where any sound that was coming through my headphones was being retransmitted through the mic, with further testing I found that this was not actually the case but rather any sound that would be output is being retransmitted as audio in, even if I had no speakers, headphones or mics connected. I have looked at and experimented with everything I could in every sound settings.
I have tried updated drivers, the only way for me to stop the issue from occurring is to mute the mic in the recording control, but that stops me from using the mic altogether. I need to be able to use my mic without recording anything that I am hearing as well.
First off I use windows XP with the latest service pack. I'm using the onboard sound card on my motherboard Asus striker II extreme.
The volume of my flash player (I first noticed it when trying to view a video on Hulu) but other flash embedded videos won't play sound either. I thought this was a flash problem, and tried the usual fixes uninstalling reinstalling, running the update utility and removing and reinstalling the plugin. Also it likely isn't a browser issue as embedded videos didn't play on either Firefox or Opera.
After restarting my computer after a few uninstalls I noticed my startup music wasn't playing as well. I'm thinking that it might be some registry error as it seems like the music is very quiet instead of muted, and all of the volume levels in the Sounds and Audio Device Properties menu are at the correct levels, and my other media players play music and movies just fine.
I've browsed the forums and haven't seen anyone with a similar problem or a fix, so any help would be greatly apprciated.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI do not know how to determine the CPU load of audio on a motherboard how to determine if the sound includes a digital signal processor (DSP). I assume a DSP, especially for older CPUs (600 MHz. or so) is a big improvement because it offloads a lot of processing from the CPU. I am interested only in stereo. How can I know if an add-in sound card with a DSP is actually an improvement? Does the DSP overweigh other issues, eg. does a cheap Mad Dog Prowler 4.1 DSP sound card offer an improvement over the motherboard sound of a Compaq DeskPro ENS/P600? Truth is, I've been looking for but have not seen a treatise on this topic. Does anyone have any links for me to pursue?

View 6 Replies View RelatedA new machine with a new XP build who is unable to hear audio from his machine. After taking a look at his machine I noticed he had no audio driver installed. Thinking that this was a simple fix I attempted to re-install the Realtek HD Audio drivers that are included with the machine (HP dc-5750). After installation and restart I receive the new hardware detected prompt and I navigate to the directory with the .sys file in it. When attempting to install it the wizard states that it was unable to locate the drivers. I know the drivers are correct and I have even attempted to download updated drivers.
This is when I started to search the forums, all stating to remove the drivers and remove the UAA hotfix from Microsoft and re-install both. (UAA first then drivers) This failed to produce any results, so I looked around more and found an article stating I needed to extract the files into a folder and direct the new hardware wizard to the commonfile folder in the folder. This left me still without sound or a working driver.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Dimension E510 PC, Windows XP, only 2 years old. It was working just fine, and then at restart I got message windows cannot start, file system32/root/hal.dll missing or corrupt. I tried doing a windows recovery with installation cd, but it wouldn't even find the windows installation. So, I wanted to do a clean installation, the quick formatting says it cannot do it, the long formatting took hours and at the end said it cannot reformat due to corrupt or damaged hard drive. I tried again to restore, but aftercopying the files and checking the c: drive, it says it cannot create the folder windows/system32/ras and gets hung there. Now, when I reboot I get that that another file in windows is missing or corrupt. When it shows the partitions it shows d: as the one with the most space and c: as one with a lot less space. Does anyone know how to get my system back up, even if it deletes all of my previous files. Thank you very much for your time and effort. I'm really frustrated after trying to fix it for 2 days

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis pc has been with me for a few months, no poblems at all. One day it just Bsods. Thinking it was just some random WinXP error, I restarted it and never thought of it again, until it happened AGAIN. 3rd times the charm, right? WRONG. After a few more I couldn't do anything basically. Boot > Bsod. So after a few Google searches and self troubleshooting later I got it almost sorted out. Also if I take this HDD to another computer it works fine. So, the problem seems to be my IDE controller. (atapi.sys) So I am requesting a place where I can find a clean atapi.sys and go replace it with the windows system recovery console. Also I am curently running a full system check for viruses on that working computer.Stuff that I have tried while trying to fix the bsod: Changing IDE cables, Resetting the bios/cmos reset, plugging it into the secondary IDE port, playing around with jumpers, replacing RAM sticks.
