Re: XP update loses sound card

Hi there,

This is quit normal if you download drivers from MS update, drivers should
be downloaded from the manufacturers website and only if really needed: if
it ain't broke: do not fix it.

Try rolling back on the current not working driver and install a new driver
if really needed. Deleting the device and reinstalling might help.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

Hello, this is the poster here again asking for any new advice on this
subject.
Any other Tecra9100 users out there? Is your sound working after all the
updates?
I miss sound.

This is a much addressed topic and I have tried everything I can find and
cannot get XP update to work with my sound card. To add to my annoyance,
xp
does not work with my newer video card for microsoft games like Age of
Empies. I have read that the XP update is incompatible with my soundcard,
but
I refuse to believe that there is not some advanced fix for this.

I have a Tecra 9100 notebook with an integrated Yamaha AC-XG soundcard.
It came with a pre-service pack version of Windows.
Before updating, windows automatically installed an Intel 82801 CA/CAM
AC'97
driver and the sound worked fine. After updating, my sound card can not
be
found. The soundcard is installed but XP says it is not. No conflicts,
just
not installed. No drivers to rollback. Restoring to an earlier point does
not
work. Volume and sound control is greyed out. Adding a new device finds
nothing. Selecting a standard device from the hardware list does not
work.
Belarc Advisor finds nothing. My System Info finds nothing. My windows
audio
in computer management is set to automatic. My sound is up. I have all
the
newest and older drivers and tried them, but drivers will not work if XP
does
not recognize the hardware.

I remember reading somewhere that XP does something kernel-wise that
keeps
the hardware from being detected.

Is there any new advice out there? Help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
