ShogunWarrior Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hey everyone, I need PHPF's help here. Basically my sound doesn't work and it is driving me litterally insane. Info: Realtek High Definition Audio Windows XP (Pretty new: 2GB Ram, Core 2 Duo etc) Drivers: CD-supplied and download (same) Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers. Background: As far as I remember when I originally installed the drivers the sound was working fine. (Maybe a windows patch or something?) Question: Each time I start the PC only system sounds work. (Winamp works because I tell it to output to DirectSound, which bypasses drivers) The control panel, sound, says there are no Audio Drivers. The only way to remedy this is to "Update Driver" for the sound device and all is well. However, I must do this EVERY TIME I want sound to anything other than Winamp. I would greatly, greatly appreciate any leads or if anyone knows the problem. Thanks in advance, SW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Did they ever work? if so, you can go to the device in device manager and roll back the driver to the previous state. Did you check your PC manufacurer's site (or motherboard)? They usually have the most current driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShogunWarrior Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 1) Yes, they worked out of the box for a while. They work no-problem but I must manually update the drivers each time (on each reboot). 2) Yes, downloaded latest driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Did you download or install something, then it didn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShogunWarrior Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Not that I can pinpoint exactly, and I must have 70 programs in the startup menu, so I haven't a clue which, if any is causing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
