Bug in latest drivers

Some time ago (somewhere in 2008 I thought it was a good idea to update my drivers to the latest update (was using the drivers from the cd before that, because I don't get all the software otherwise)
After I done the update, it completelly screwed something up and it basically means, that if I turn down my volume to 0% I still hear audio. After some searching I gave up and it seemed to be an issue with the drivers.
I uninstalled the drivers, and reverted back to the drivers from my CD. Problem gone.
I recently bought Quake 4 and it crashes to my desktop. I get a nice grey screen and seconds later, my desktop again. I found out that it was due to OpenAL. I installed OpenAL but nothing. I then did the newest driver update and got Quake 4 running. Unfortunatelly for me, that same issue returned. This time I searched and finally found what exactly is happening, and how I can work around the issue.
I've recorded everything to a movie so you can see what happens and what the cause is. For the record, everything happens when I turn the knob from the mixer. The movie is in dutch but I hope that won't form a problem.
If a staff member can notify someone from the development team and point them to this topic, that would be great!
The link to the movie: (hi res!!!) click me

I've found a new related bug.
If you get the question to normalise your settings because otherwise the db values are inaccurate, it also changes the settings. The workaround is the same, open the windows mixer, go to the advanced volume settings, reset them, and drag them to the desired volume.
So I have to prevent using the mixer so it will tell me that I need to normalise the settings. (I don't want to get that question each time)

  • R9 270X Gaming 2G, unable to use the latest drivers and Mantle

    I just bought a R9 270X Gaming 2G S/N 602-V303-13SB1312109829-398
    When I first got the R9 270X, I installed the latest AMD drivers with the full package.
    Later I got the, what I found to be, notorious atimkdag.sys BSOD.
    I recovered my system partition with Acronis from before I installed the GPU. And installed the drivers found on MSI website which are considerably older than those on AMD’s website. I have not had an atimkdag.sys BSOD since. In fact I think I am using Windows stock drivers as the driver version says 13.251.9001.0, and I think the MSI driver is 13.101.0.0. Not sure how that happened.
    Now my understanding is that this GPU should be Mantle enabled, however using Star Swarm Stress Test, which includes Mantle testing, said it found no Mantle enabled GPU. Perhaps because I am using an older driver.
    I read somewhere that atimkdag.sys BSOD is linked to AMD Catalyst Control Center. Since I never used that last time I had an AMD GPU, I have disabled it on start-up.
    What do you guys think would be the best option here? How can I both enjoy the latest drivers and avoid the notorious atimkdag.sys BSOD. Or do you think I should just stick with the drivers I have, without Mantle enabled. I haven’t actually got any Mantle enabled games at the moment, but are planning to get it though.
    It may or may not be important. But I upgraded from Windows 7 to Win 8 Pro then Win 8.1 Pro. Perhaps it is leftover sys files. I noticed in forums that the atimkdag.sys BSOD mostly hit Win 7 systems. Perhaps the reason I am not getting the BSOD now is simply that I am not using AMD Catalyst Control Center, as you would think that if it is left over from Win 7 it should affect both old and latest drivers, right.
    Thanks

    Please disregard my previous post asking for help.
    This is also a message to other noobs like myself, read the F.A.Q. before you post anything in the forum. I read the F.A.Q. about how to update drivers, how to remove old driver fragments and followed it to the letter.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/where-can-i-download-vga-drivers-and-how-do-i-install-t
    Now Mantle works and as for the atikmdag.sys BSOD, hopefully I will not experience this now that I completely uninstalled all previous driver files, using Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode. I do not see why I should.
    If against odds it happens, then I will come back and ask you guys for help.
    Thanks

  • Need the latest drivers for a Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer

    I wanted to download and install the latest drivers for an HP Desket 895Cse inkjet printer but the only driver updates that are available on your website are for an HP Deskjet 895Cxi.  I've never owned an HP Deskjet 895Cxi inkjet printer; only the HP Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer.   Do these two models use the same set of drivers or does your website no longer offer updated drivers for an HP Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer?  
    I'm planning to address various sized envelopes for Christmas cards which I have done in the past using my older model HP Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer because my current HP printer; an HP C5280 Photosmart All In One inkjet printer will not allow me to print on odd sized greeting card envelopes; only standard sized business envelopes like a No. 10, No. 11 and a No. 12.  
    Last night I ordered new inkjet cartridges for my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer; a #23 color cartridge and a #45 black cartridge; both cartridges set me back about $70.00 after applying discounts and using a promo coupon code from HP.   I spoke to someone in tech support overseas yesterday who advised me to download the most up to date drivers for my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer before I install the new cartridges and begin to address my Christmas card envelopes; about 75 envelopes; front and back.  
    If there are no new drivers available for my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer should I plan to return my new HP inkjet cartridges once I receive them because if my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer will not allow me to print on anything unless I install the latest set of drivers for my Desket 895Cse inkjet printer and if there are no new drivers currently available on your website I might as well return my newly ordered cartidges as soon as I receive them by Fedex from HP and get my $70.00 back.   Feedback on this would certainly be appreciated.

    Why doesn't the website list the latest drivers for an 895Cse?   Was the Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer released for sale to the public before the Deskjet 895Cxi inkjet printer or visa versa?   Basically what's the difference between the 2 models?  Finally if I were to install my new cartridges which haven't arrived yet and choose not to install the drivers for the 895Cxi model will my 895Cse printer still work and be able to print?

  • Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

    Hi Everyone,
    Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
    The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website.  Filename:  BootCamp5.0.5033
    I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
    NOTE:  I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
    Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up

  • Downloading latest drivers for Palm T/X in Windows 7?

    Does anyone know how to download the latest drivers for Palm TX in Windows 7 and then hot sync as well? 
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Yes, I do.  Thanks for asking. 
    Perhaps you're wondering what to do?  Download Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and install it.  Depending on which version of Win7 you have (32bit or 64bit), you will be able to sync via cable/USB or via Wifi.

  • I am trying to reinstall winows 7 on my iMac and it will not install. I am using the latest drivers ( v4.0) but I still get the black screen. I have made sure that the auto install and the drivers are at the root level on my USB flash drive.

    I am reinstalling W7 on my iMac and keep getting the black screen. I had installed W7 before when using Snow Leapord but W7 doesn't want to install with the latest drivers (v4.0). W7 was working with Lion but I had to uninstall W7 and now I cannot reinstall.

    NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
    They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.
    *32-bit uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe

  • Dynadock u3.0 latest drivers prevent Google chrome from connecting to internet

    I am using the Dynadock u3.0 on a Toshiba u845w-s400 and a 17R Dell. Both have Win 7, 64bit. When I initially let the windows find the drivers and figure things itself, Google Chrome worked just fine with Dynadock. The computers told me that I should install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website and I did as suggested. After that, Chrome stopped working on both computers. Google Chrome opens up but when I type an address, it never executes. It just tries to load the page with nothing and then eventually gives up. Firefox and IE work perfectly fine with no other issues associated with printers or two external monitors or sound. I do not know what to do. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome with no luck. I generated new user folder under Chrome and that did not work either. I even rolled computers back to a previous date and reinstalled dynadock drivers with no luck. I would really appreciate any help on this matter as I have to use Chrome.

  • GPU Acceleration disabled even with latest drivers

    I´m trying to enable GPU acceleration, but even with the latest drivers it wont enable.
    Note that this is with AMDs Legacy driver for Windows 8 x64. The card is a 4870x2.
    Firefox wants a higher driver number then 12.8 but in CCC it states that my driver version is 13.1.

    hello, there seems to be a different technical driver naming scheme by amd for radeon HD 2/3/4000 series graphic cards (their latest driver version is 13.1 which translates to the technical version 8.97.100.7) & hd 5/6/700 cards (13.4, which translates to 12.104.0.0).
    due to crashes triggered by older driver versions firefox is blocking all cards below version 9.10.8.0 for HWA - i don't think it is possible to differentiate these blocks for certain card models (since there are too many of them)...
    you could try to circumvent the blocklisting like it is described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers#How_to_force-enable_blocked_graphics_features though.

  • No sound after installing the latest drivers

    After installing the latest drivers for X-fi xtrememusic, 2.8.003 I have no sound. Also my creative console is stuck in Entertainment Mode, it won't switch to any other mode. Help please?

    ?My best guess is this is some bizarre driver/registry problem, since it mostly works perfect in XP, but barely at all in Vista.
    Well, i don't have a solution for you, but if your soundcard + hub act like that even under xp after a few weeks i would suggest to get a replacement, cause there might be a hardware-error that causes your problem. A software/driver problem sounds very unlikely to me. That your having problems under Vista, isn't strange at all, cause there are still no final drivers relaesed for Vista and the support of the hub is rather barebone at the moment. Stormblade

  • How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

    How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

    MiniDV was a great format, one I still use often. I also still use iMovie HD6 to process it and, for all the iterations of iMovie that followed it, I still believe it was one of Apple's greatest movie software programmes, next to Final Cut Pro, using a timeline method of editing. That was also in the day which Apple put Superdrives into their computers, so that you could not only make your movie in iMovie, but you could render it to iDVD and then burn the DVD. Now you need to buy an external burner.
    Since iMovie HD6 and iDVD 6 were "universal" software, it has continued to work through the many OS releases since it came out with Tiger, I believe it was. So, it may still work with Mavericks too and, if you could locate a copy of iLife 06, probably used, you might enjoy the difference that HD6 has over all iMovie releases since then.
    Not saying you can't process your MiniDV with current iMovie versions, but I'm not the one to speak about that.

  • Movie Maker can't start, graphics card has latest drivers and Direct X10

    Hi, I'm attempting to get Movie Maker to start on a 64 bit notebook which I believe has the correct specs and has latest video card drivers and direct X10 or 11, can't remember. How can I further troubleshoot this?

    Hi,
    Have you checked that your PC meets the minimum system requirements here:
    http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-system-requirements ?
    Older graphics cards will often not support some of the newer technologies, even if if they have the latest drivers. Is this your issue?
    Also, You may need to install DirectX 9.0c runtime components if you are running Windows 7. This will add some components necessary for programs that use older versions of DirectX, which includes Windows Live 2011 Photo Gallery and Movie Maker.
