Audio Device Error After Windows Update


Recommended Posts

I bought a Gateway with a Centrino Duo on the 7th, I decide to do the Windows

Vista update, and suddenly my audio device doesn't work. I went through,

being mostly computer literate, and checked the Device Manager, which says

the Audio Device is working, but when I try to play music, it says that there

is no Output Device installed. Under the Device Manager, I'm at Sound, video,

and game controllers. It says that this "SigmaTel High Definition Audio

CODEC" is working, but it clearly isn't. I was listening to music before the

update, and now it doesn't work... I've tried updating the Driver, but it

says the one I have is up-to-date. I read some other Discussions to see if

anyone else is having a similar problem, and it said something about copying

some values into the Hardware IDs, but mine look like this:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0260&SUBSYS_02600000&REV_1003

which is what the guy said except with a 1 at the end instead of a 3. Help

please, if anyone can. I'm thinking I should perhapse take it to someone

local if I can't figure it out.

Hi there,

 

Did you try rolling back on the diver in device manager under the properties

of the sound device?

 

Best regards,

I looked for that, but it's grey. So this is the newest and oldest driver I

can use, or something...I'm going to try using the recovery disc.

Hi there,

Recovery should work but you can first try this:

 

Try booting with F8 from the menu appearing choose last known good

configuration. If that or later the recovery works and you are going to

update again skip any driver updates from windows update.

 

Best regards,

Michel Denie

I just ended up using the recovery disc, then I updated again, and it

worked...I dunno what the problem was, but it seems to be fixed now. :D
