How do i fix my sigmatel audio driver problem?

I have a Black Macbook Intel Core 2 (circa 2007)
Running Windows XP Pro SP3
via Boot Camp v 3.2.
I recently had to reinstall Windows XP Pro and only had saved Boot Camp Disks for v1.4 and then upgraded to 3.1 via the Boot Camp 3.2 .EXE downloads available on Apple's site. Unfortunately, now there is no sound coming out of my internal speakers OR the headphone.
Prior to reinstalling XP, I also had this same problem, but it was limited to no sound from the internal speakers (I was able to get audio out of the headphone jack).
I've tried several approaches/combinations of reinstalling, updating drivers, restarting, etc.. with no success
I have seen this (or related) problems on multiple sites dating back to 2006 and have not found any clear resolution or answer, particular from anyone at Apple. Why hasn't this been put to rest??? I know Apple provides limited ('terrible') support for boot camp, along with just about everything else. But this issue has been going on since 2006, with no clear support.
Any help would be appreciated...

Where did you download Windows 7 "through bootcamp" from? As far as I know you can not download Windows through Bootcamp. Where did you get the Windows Support software? Try downloading the Windows support software from http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/

My external hard drive will not open and only shows up in Disk Utilities. When I try yo repair it, it give me and error of invalid sibling link. How do I fix my external hard drive?

Invalid sibling link may not be fixable by Disk Utility. (Disk Utility is very conservative, and will not attempt repairs that might cause you to lose data.)
It is an indication of serious Directory damage.
that leaves
a) third-party Utilities that will take those risks, or
b) re-initializing the drive (which deletes all your data) and restoring from another backup source.
c) "Copying off whatever files you can salvage" has gone by, and you cannot copy anything off a drive that will not mount. You may be able to use "rescue" programs such as prosoft engineering Data Rescue to copy files to another drive, but that sounds a lot better than its reality. You may get many files, but not get ANY filenames.

Qosmio G30: Conflict between Sigmatel audio driver and Vista SP1

Hello,
I have a Qosmio G30 PQG32E notebook and can't upgrade to Vista SP1 because the Sigmatel driver (6.10.5462.0) is conflicting with the service pack.
As some of you might know, Sigmatel no longer exists and IDT who bought them is as good as non-existent, saying to contact the OEM directly for updated drivers.
Is there any plan to upgrade the audio driver ?
There are huge memory leaks in my case from the audio driver.
When using Photoshop or Premiere Pro, the audiodg.exe proccess consumes 800MB and more after one hour of continuous work.
I am hoping for an updated more stable driver, and more stability from SP1.
Am I a dreamer?

Have your problems started after SP1 installation? Just for info: at the moment Toshiba does not support SP1. I really believe that you have some troubles and because of that I still wait with SP1 installation.
You are right about Qosmio. It costs a lot of money but using delivered recovery image installation you will not have any problem. About memory and how much resources Vista needs you can read everywhere. Even if you close some application RAM will still be occupied with different information. If you start the same application again you will see that application starts second time much faster.
It is Vista!!!
You have really nice notebook and you should upgrade RAM to maximum level. I am pretty the notebook will runs much better and of course faster. For such notebook 2 GB for Vista is really the minimum.

USB Audio Driver Problem fixed in 10.5.3?

Reading through quite a few topics on this forum, I know many people are experiencing problems with USB mixers/audio-recording devices and Macbook Pros running anything Leopard. The general consensus (which I agree with based on my own experience) is that it is a problem with the driver beginning in 10.5.
I know the 10.5.3 updates mentions a fix for video/audio USB playback problems, but has anyone using a USB device (to do podcasts, recording music, whatev) downloaded the update? Does it work? I hesitate to considering what the upgrade to Leopard did...

I am also having this problem. Short bursts of static using a USB audio device on my Core 2 Duo Mac Mini.
I am using a Tone Port (the GX and UX1) both exhibit the same problem. Even just playing back an MP3 I may get a burst of static while listening. I never had this problem before.
2 things have changed. The Tone Port Driver and The Tiger Update to 10.4.11
Before I realized it may be an issue with 10.4.11, I reloaded Tiger, got all the updates, then installed the latest drive for the Tone Port. Same issue. I even upgraded to 4 GB of RAM, (for different reasons).
Anyway. I would really like to know if 10.5.3 or higher fixes this. Although I hate Leopard, I would be willing to go there if it resolved this issue.
****, I thought MACs were supposed to be the **** when it came to audio and video. I guess it is all hype.

Inspire P7800/SigmaTel Audio Driver

Hi,
I just bought an Inspire P7800 and i noticed that the only sound comes from the front speakers. The side and rear speakers don't have sound coming out of em. I have a Dell with an integrated sound card called the SigmaTel audio. The problem is that this dumb sound card doesnt have ANY options for customizing speakers. PLUS I have vista so it makes it even harder to switch my speakers from 5.1 to 7.1, etc cause I simple just can't find the options for changing settings. (Vista is wack). Does anyone else have these problems? Also, a solution would be GREATLY appreciated. I want to enjoy my new 7.1 speakers! Thanks freestyLes

freestyLes: I moved your thread to the speakers section as it's a more suitable section.
Regarding your speaker issue, it's best to check with the motherboard manufacturer to find out if the integrated sound card supports 7.1 speakers. Note that most sounds you play are in stereo channel, only some games and DVD supports 5.1 surround.
When you have 5.1 surround, be sure to flip the CMSS upmix switch for 7.1 output.

9.1.3 crashing whilst recording "error code 1" audio driver problem

I'm still smarting over a six hour location recording session that Logic ruined for me yesterday - came away with nothing because of this problem.
Was trying to record a full band - eighth channels simultaneously, using ART Tubefire audio interface into Logic 9.1.3 on my macbook pro.
It started out OK - no apparent problems when setting up, testing the mics, setting the levels, etc.
Then as soon as we started trying to record proper takes of the songs, Logic seized up, giving the reason as "error code 1" being returned by the audio driver. this would happen after about half a minute or so of recording apparently normally (sometimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter). It would also give me another error message about the disk being too slow sometimes as well.
I tried adjusting various settings and preferences (sample rate, buffer size, internal or external clocking, etc. etc.) but nothing worked.
I restarted the computer and the audio interface. No change.
Then I tried recording fewer tracks simultaneously (although the computer really should be able to cope with a pretty simple 8-track set-up, as indeed it has done quite happily in the past) but that made no difference either.
Then I disconnected the firewire connection and tried to see if I could at least record some audio straight into the computer, connecting the headphone out of the Tubefire to the macbook's built-in mic jack. Same problem.
I don't know how to fix this.
Help please?
Thanks,
Mark

Everyone I know is having issues with Logic 9 and Snow Leopard. If you can, try using Logic 8 and OS 10.5.8 works well for me. 32 tracks for 2 hours. It absolutely will not work if I use a laptop with Snow Leopard.

IDT Audio Driver Problems on Windows 7

For the past few weeks, I have been dealing with the same audio swings and speaker problems that many other people here have complained of. I am aware of the Driver update for those who have Windows 8 computers, but I have a Windows 7. This computer was bought in last June after my previous HP laptop (which consequently had no issues) needed to be replaced. Restarting the computer fixes it for a few minutes but it always has issues until it inevitably makes it so I am unable to hear anything or play any videos. I have uninstalled, deleted, and reinstalled the IDT driver several times including downloadling directly from the HP website. I have sat and watched as the Beats Audio Settings swing back and forth and watched as Windows Explorer crashes because I attempted to change the volume settings on my keyboard. Most of the time, I can't even restart or shut down my computer anymore, it just stays at a black screen with the power light on until I manually turn it off or the battery dies.
I'm so frustrated with this and even more so at the fact that a fix has been pushed through for Windows 8 users but you're leaving those of us with Windows 7 stuck with unusable laptops. Please tell me how I can resolve this issue or point me to someone who can help me replace my laptop. Thank you.
P.S. I'm not mad at you, just at the situation, I'm sorry for sounding like a jerk.

IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver problem after windows 8.1 update 1.

Hello. I have HP Probook 4730s. After I installed Windows 8.1 update 1 the sound driver stopped working properly. When I want to play some music, video or even system sounds, sound appears after 1-2 minutes. At that time HDD usage is 100% cause of windows audio device graph isolation. I’ve installed that IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver from HP’s driver support site, but that’s not working. As I see in device manager driver’s release date is 24.10.2012. I think, it’s too old for Windows 8.1. Can you help me? Is there any other newer version of that sound driver? Also I’m sending two pictures where are HDD usage and driver release date.

Audio crashing - IDT HD audio driver problem?

Audio crashes when in use (basically just goes silent), even after re-install of driver (IDT HD Audio Driver). Upon reboot of the PC, audio will work temporarily, and then crash very quickly if there are multiple Chrome tabs with audio, and has also crashed using just a single media player (Spotify). I have not received any error messages. When this happens, I am also unable to change the volume level using both point-and-click and hotkeys. I'm running an HP Envy notebook with Windows 8.1 64 bit

I am wanting to update my computers' drivers and complete the windows updates which it is telling me that I need to complete. For a couple of years now, I have been trying to find a way to sucessfully update my IDT Audio Driver.

The small speaker icon in the lower right hand corner has a red "x" and it acts as if there are no speakers. I have to complete the system restore and restore my computer to an earlier time (before the "configure IDT Audio" update. Please help! TL;DRIDT Audio Update basically uninstalls the driver or speakers. What is the correct driver/what is the problem?

Hi Pastypete,
I’m sorry to hear that the “System Restore” is not working as expected in the computer, the available option to resolve this issue is to install the Audio driver in “Compatibility Mode”. Below are the images to help the installation of driver in compatibility mode, right click on the downloaded file select “Properties” then click on “Compatibility” tab, now below are the images in which the options are selected. Please follow the same and at the end select Apply>OK. Now right click on the file again and select “Run as administrator” option:
NOTE: As per the 2nd image select Windows 8 in "Run this program in compatibility mode for" option.

L530 Audio Driver problem

I used Lenovo System Update to install recommended updates. Now when I start my computer I get a message that says: "The current Dolby audio driver version is 7.2.8000.17 and the software application expects driver version 7.2.7000.7. Please install a valid driver and software application combination." How can I correct this issue?

Go to 'Control Panel > Programs And Features' and uninstall the Realtek HD Audio driver and Dolby Advanced Audio.
Next go to support.lenovo.com and download the latest Realtek HD Audio driver and Dolby Advanced Audio.
Install both drivers.
Reboot.
Post back with the results.
