Windows xp no driver sound

I have windows xp and all of a sudden I have no sound driver and it let me restore the system or down load anyything. It was working fine a week ago. I change wont start. could be my problem?

Sometimes, the driver may be for different version of windows. I've seen vista driver install correctly in Windows XP, but not sound. Either that, sometimes, it is the OEM driver provided by the manufacturer of the chipset/soundchip but differ from the provision of a Board. Maybe the manufacturer Council put in place a special design, so the OEM driver will not work. Other than that, it could also be the version with another driver conflict. Say your sound card driver is the oldest, but you have updated your driver chipset for a newer version since your last installation. The old sound card driver may not compatible with the new chipset driver and so on.

Try to download a set of drivers for your system, this way you don't know that all your driver is up to date.

  • Update of Windows, external hard drive + sound problems

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 with Windows Vista installed. I recently bought a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive, which I forgot to unplug a couple times when I turned off the computer... Windows normally the thing 'install updates & stop', and I'm sure that he accidentally put the files to one of these updates on my hard drive, because a little bit ago, I noticedthis new file . He also said that the hard drive is used whenever I'm trying to remove it safely, even if I did open / running. I wonder if there is a way to solve this problem...? Is it safe to just delete the files from my external hard drive?

    In addition, around the same time, through the speakers of my laptop stopped working. He still works perfectly with headphones plugged in however. In playback devices, speakers/headphones (SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC) is active and supposed to be 'working '. When I check with Device Manager, it says that the software is up-to-date and fully functional. I wonder if this could possibly be linked to a bad Windows update... and also how to fix it.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • What type of driver sound has extension wav. Which audio driver should I download Windows 8 and how?

    What type of driver sound has extension wav? Which audio driver should I download Windows 8 and how?

    Sannia Hello,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

    1. do you try to play audio files. WAV extension?
    2. If so, what happens when you play the files? They do not play, or you receive an error message or a code?
    3. What is the brand and model of your tab Windows 8?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    File (WAV) Audio Waveform format is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) binary stream format method for storing data in "chunks", and thus is also close to the 8SVX and used the format AIFF on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on Windows for audio usually compressed gross systems and not compressed. The usual bitstream encoding is the format for linear pulse code modulation (LPCM).

    Audio driver is common for all types of audio files. However, in order to play an audio file with a specific extension, you may need a special codec that you can install. You can refer to this article:

    Sorry, there is no way to install the SATA driver on an existing operating system.

    You have two options.
    1. you reinstall Windows XP SATA driver. First go into the BIOS and choose AHCI SATA mode. Then, you can start the installation, but after booting from the CD, press F6 to load the SATA driver.
    2. you made on the operating system. This isn't a problem, but you have lost performance a bit.

  • How to remove the graphics drivers nVidia Windows system - scan driver is no longer available.

    There was an old post and now it seems closed. I update my DV6500Z again to Windows 7. It worked fine for months and then I lost sound, so I decided to start over. Did a clean install with Windows 7, then service Pack1 followed by a lot of updates from Windows update. Also added a lot of software. Now, I sound and have not yet added the optional updates from Windows update to the sound card drivers. I haven't added the other drivers so what comes from Service Pack 1, Windows 7, and important updates.

    Probably should have started the search in just after Service Pack 1, but no drivers have not because I had no problem. A few things are of yellow color in the Device Manager but it should for things like quick launch buttons, SD card reader. So now I'm looking in drivers and ran through http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/How-to-remove-nVidia-graphic-drivers-fro...

    I uninstalled NVIDIA drivers very well using Control Panel - program & features. Now, I found scan driver is no longer available. Device Manager indicates that I will use a standard vga adapter. Should I just go ahead and add the nvidia chip and then get the nvidia drivers or do I let more fragments, which will cause problems?

    Thank you

  • Windows 7 audio driver for computer laptop zv5120us

    I ran the program with no major problems windows 7 compatibility.  I loaded windows 7 Home premium 32-bit, and everything seems to work fine except the sound card.  I tried HP and RealTek for a pilot.  I downloaded a compatible Windows 7 RealTek driver and loaded on the computer.  Still no audio.  When I look at the audio driver in Device Manager, it says that the device cannot start (code 10).  I spent time with a person of HP on the cat and the end point of this session was that I had to go back to XP.  Is there a solution for the audio driver that will allow me to continue running windows 7, but with audio working?  My laptop has a processor Celeron 2.8 GHz and 1.2 GB of ram.  Thanks for any help.

    I was able to download and run the program.  Sound is now working with alerts and music.  I got the message "No ADI codec driver installed", but Device Manager shows no problems with the sound card.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Display driver hangs on the computer and the error message "display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."

    Original title: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 display driver has stopped working and recovered.

    Hiya,

    I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro, installed all of my usual applications etc..
    The problem I've encountered is maintaining display driver crashing. Or have waiting periods. The exact error message reads;
    "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."
    Until now it expires randomly even when the computer is idle, and more frequently when I watch videos online. Also, watch a clip full screen on some sites like YouTube is ok, but on others, it is very laggy (updated maybe once per second the image) and the sound is out of sync.
    I can't find a way to properly uninstall the graphics driver.

    At least yours is working semi... I have the GTS 450 (uses the same drivers) and the mine does not at all... Stuck with the regular game pilot integrated ATM and can not all games... Microsoft told me to wait a few weeks and for the reminder and Nvida said 10 ways to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for same. Hope someone with to get a fix for this soon.

    Hi guys,.
    Looks like this isn't just me.
    Just an update, that I can not confirm it as a solution, but I have not encountered any problem (a little screenlag aside) since the installation of the drivers beta. For me, the beta version of the driver is 310.33, R130. The only other change to my system updates Adobe Flash version packaged with Google Chrome to 11.4.31X to 11.4.402 to eliminate serious problems when you watch the video in full screen.
    Information system;
    Operating system: Windows 8 Build Pro with Media Center 64-bit, 9200
    CPU: AMD FX-8150 eight physical cores
    GPU: ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 TI

    New edition;

    If you still receive the error message, try the following steps;
    Has. try to perform a clean installation of the driver.
    Download the latest drivers for your graphics card. Run the downloaded file, and select "Custom Installation". In the next screen, you will see a checkbox or similar labeled "Clean Install".
         

    You can do so by visiting nVidia Driver Downloads (www.nvidia.com/Drivers). Automatically detect the right driver or download using the form. The best way in my opinion is to use the GeForce experience, who will do anything for you in two clicks and a reboot.
    B. close all other programs
    It is possible that the error was caused by too many programs that need to use the resources provided by the graphics card/chip. It is also possible that a certain program caused a conflict that pilots crashed.
    You can try closing some currently open programs one by one and see if the error persists, or restart your system with disabled startup programs and allow them one by one to find the culprit. If the error is too persistent to do the above, it would be easier to start in safe mode option.

  • Need driver sound card for Win 7

    I recently bought a computer with Windows XP and Windows 7 top load, but apparently when I was downloading Windows 7 it erased the sound card and now I have no sound.

    Before I loaded Windows 7 I + made + sound, and I tested the check on preloaded games.

    I tested the sound on several YouTube videos after downloading the program, but there was no sound. The small speaker on the bottom right of the screen has a x on it, which is unusual, I went into the Panel and discovered that I had "no audio output device installed.

    Where can I find a download of virus-free sound card? (Preferably Microsoft and if possible, free)
