Can't install sound drivers after format - knickers in knot


Recommended Posts

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

I formatted my gf's PC last night, P4 3.2 Ghz with Foxcomm 945P7AA mobo and built in soundcard.

 

I installed all the drivers from the foxcomm driver cd, however the audio one doesnt work properly. It goes through its process and asks you to reboot however when I reboot nothing comes up and there is no sound. Trying to play mp3's or anything results in a msg of "windows media player cannot play this file as there is a problem with your sound device. It may not be installed, may be in use by another program, or may not be working properly."

 

Going to device manager I can see the audio codecs and drivers but i can't see a soundcard. In sound and audio devices in control panel there is no audio devices listed.

 

I have downloaded another set of drivers and have the exact same problem.

 

Anyone got any ideas...the sound was working perfectly before?

A jumper on the motherboard could also have anything to do it. Maybe with the age corrosion cause it to no longer make contact, remove it and clean the pins, and then put it back on. Better yet...take it off clean it, boot with it off see what happens, then swich it off and boot with it on again. Windows will register the change and ask for drivers.

Fixed it, there was a spurious PCI devide in harware devices page that had an asterix. I hit reinstall driver and now it all works. What a pain in the ass.
