sound driver problem[moved from vista] - Page 2

Placehold · 05-04-2008, 09:01 AM

Ok now i looked at the device driver download that warlordfmike advised off so i decided to post a link to the C-Media CM6501 Like USB Audio Driver instead to see if this would rectify it firstly

Also here are some preinstalled audio bundles

http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Audio_Card/Drivers/Xonar_U1_V61282012LO06_Vista.zip
http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Audio_Card/Drivers/Xonar_U1_V61282012_Vista_LO04.zip

Now it also looks like its not set for playback

1. Start\Control Panel and in the search area type sound
2. Select Manage Audio Devices
3. On you screen it should tell you what playback device you are using and it should tell you if its working.
4. ok now select the device you want to use
5. Select properties
6. At the bottom there is a drop down menu called Device Useage
7. Select Enable and select apply and ok

Regards

i have to apologize, earlier when i said when i ran the test it didn't make any sound, i was mistaken. i had the speakers muted because all they do is make the static noise. i went ahead and tried the driver packages anyway. the first is a dead link, and the second said the card wasnt compatible with the driver.

edit: i don't know why the cmedia driver is only giving me static now, it is the same driver i had a few days ago when it was working properly. i did try a system restore to a point where the sound was working, but nothing changed as far as the audio issue.

i ran into a problem when i uninstalled the sound driver, when i try to install a new driver it cannot detect a sound device, like this:

i tried this before and found a way to get around it, but this whole thing has me pretty frustrated and i have forgot how i managed to do so.

a couple other photos you requested

i did buy this computer with vista premium, its approximately 4 months old and i havent had any problems with it until this issue came up.

Ok select uninstall, reboot your machine leave it for 10 minutes
Reboot again and see if the marker has dissappeared from device manager

uninstalling and rebooting did not help.

buront · 05-06-2008, 07:50 AM

ok i remembered what i did before and have the cmedia driver installed again. the drivers warlordfmike provided are still to plug in a proper device.

**warlordfmike** · 05-06-2008, 03:11 PM

hmm i lost placehold should be here sometime soon

Hey Buront

I apologise for going MIA

Have been rushed the past while
Ok there is some good news and some bad news

These C-Media Drivers seem to rectifying the exact same issue you have however it looks like the C-Media devices for vista are becoming corrupt somehow and people are finding buying a new sound card the only option

Try updating the drivers again in device manager

Start and type Device manager and hit enter, Go down to the driver with the exclamation mark and select Update driver

Then post the driver details here for me, It does however look like a hardware issue with the actual sound card

Regards

Craig

buront · 05-08-2008, 08:56 AM

the picture i posted above is the driver that windows tries to install when it updates my driver. do you need anything else?

also when you say the drivers are becoming corrupt, is that a hardware problem, a driver problem, or a compatability problem? is there a chance that a future driver could fix the issue?

when i try to install the drivers you posted, i just get a messege asking me to plug in a cmedia device.

either way, thank you both for the help.

If you only bought the product 4 months ago there should be a years warranty on it, the issue looks to be hardware related and it looks like the software is corrupt, then obviously the computer cannot read the device now. The only way i can see others getting around this is by buying a new sound card.

Again if its in warranty they should replace the parts for you

Regards

Craig
