Audio Problems.

terrykim1 · 07-08-2008, 10:34 PM

I currently run XPSP2 and prior to having to re-enstall the operating OS after a very heavy infection all was well. I am heavy in Audio and have three soundcards installed, realtek onboard, creative audigy 2 and M Audio delta series.
When I finally re-enstalled the OS I attempted to load the drivers off the installation disk for the Gigbyte S series NVIDIA Geforce Utility CD but it came up with an error report when attempting to load the driver.
I assumed that this might be the problem so downloaded the driver from Realtek and also the UAA Audio Controller hotfix from Microsoft.
The device manager is showing no conflicts and I have disabled both the M Audi Card and the Realtek on board cards.
Whenever I attempt to open one of my Programs that needs audio support I either have no audio or clicks and noise which makes the audio useless.
Can someone point me in the right direction as I have been working on this problem for over two weeks with the necessity of re-installing the hotfix to get programs funtioning properly.
Thanks
terry

Hi terrykim1,

Do you need all three soundcards? I'm not an expert, but having three soundcards, diabled or not, sounds like a recipey for driver conflicts, which this might be.

You could try uninstalling all drivers and hardware for all bar the onboard sound, and see whether that helps?
