• What happened to the sound in xp after a windows update

  so I'm not the only one with this problem. about two or three weeks, I woke up one day and grew up my computer after hibernation, and he was asked to restart my windows xp system to complete an update of windows. After that I did, my sound disappeared completely. the volume has disappeared from the bar of tasks and in the Panel of control under sounds and audio devices, it says no audio device, but the audio device is there and the driver is as well. I did some tests to try to understand why he did this. first of all, I uninstalled the audio card in the Device Manager and reinstalled realtek. When I did, a lot of drivers began to appear that I've never seen before who were related to windows and they had yellow! "s next to them. After trying several versions realtek sound drivers for my card, I decided to load my fedora linux OS to see if it was a bad sound card, but the material works very well under linux. I went back to xp and used a program called SiSoftware Sandra and let it scan my system. in the results, I was getting errors with DirectX and DirectSound, but I could not understand what it meant. I also used the DirectX dignostic tool which also gave an error when testing the sound with it. so I am almost sure, this problem was caused by something that microsoft made in one of their latest updates for windows xp. That's the only explanation logical I can come up with because it is not a hardware problem and drivers are not the problem either. My question is how can this be brought to the attention of microsoft in order to examine the question and to fix. Oh and I forgot to mention that I tried to reinstall DirectX as well, but still no luck. I guess that I'll stick to fedora until microsoft solves this problem.

  OK, I wanted to just update this thread with my last State on my problem. I tried everything that I could think of to try and fix my sound. I used a lot of different antivirus programs to see if I could find an infection as the cause. while I found some infections, they do not seem that cause problems. as a last resort, I backed up all my data and programs on an external hard drive and did a complete reformat and install windows xp. While the sound does not work at first, install the right driver for my sound card did the trick after the new installation of xp. so I didn't really want to resort to do a full reformat because of how long it would take, but he turns out to be the only solution to my problem. now, I just spend a good all by restoring all my data and programs, but, overall, it is useful to have her back. What a strange question however. I can't say I ran across that one before and I am not sure what caused it, but I think that it is a corruption in DirectX that I couldn't fix. Well, you live and you learn. so if anyone has a similar question to mine, you may need to do the same thing, I did to solve the problem and make a complete reformat and install. don't forget to backup your data if you do not want to lose well

  Hello

  Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

  From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

  I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

  Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Back up the registry
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

  e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

  Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

  f. close the registry editor.

  g. restart the computer.

  Method 2:

  Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.
