Latest SoundMax HD Audio Driver is Very Static

I had a botched install of Windows and redid everything with all the latest drivers from the website. However, the newest audio driver has a very pop or crackle that occurs when playing music from any program or source including youtube, audacity, winamp, media player (both audio files and video files). Is there any way to correct this? I've had a lot of trouble with the audio driver specifically for a very long time and was hoping to get some guidance on this before I attempt to uninstall and switch back to the original audio driver. And just to add, this problem seems to happen only when docked to my advanced mini dock. When I use the built in speakers or headset, there's no static.... so I'm not quite sure what is going on here...

personally I'm not a big fan of the SoundMAX suite on the Touchsmat PC. I bought a creative 5.1 USB card and has plenty more features including better overall sound performance.

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.

UEFI/BIOS version is original.. or how I cant check it?
Check in UEFI/BIOS Setup. It should be mentioned under "System Information" somewhere.

All drivers versions is originally from CD drivers that come with it's mainboard.

ADI SoundMAX Audio driver latest update

Hi Everybody:
TVSU shows this ADI SoundMAX Audio driver (version 5.10.01.6380-0005 released 2009/02/18) as the latest for my system. Actual version installed is 5.10.01.6380-0002 which I downloaded from the matrix in April when TVSU still wasn't available.
As I use to check on any additional info before confirming TVSU to install it, I found the following "Note" under "Additional information>Systems supported" (Please note that this "Note" is not contained in the readme file):
"On Windows XP (version before SP3) and early version of 2003, you need to install a QFE to allow a HD Audio driver installation. This QFE is made available by Microsoft and it is required to update the Operating System components before installing the audio driver. The QFE contains the required files and readme files which outline procedure. This QFE and files are distributed by Microsoft only, please contact them directly if you need to get them."
Questions:
1) As I have SP3 installed, I don't need it?
2) This implies that SP3 contains the QFE?
3) If so, why didn't need it before SP3 if SoundMAX has been always present? i.e. came preinstalled on the system.
4) What's this QFE anyway? and if anybody can show me a Microsoft link to it, because my searching didn't.
Regret my ignorance, but...anybody?
Thanks in advance and Regards,
RickCP.

Hi,
I wanted to confirm, that this issue occurs also to me, and started happening recently. Also the driver sometimes does not start when simply booting clean (not returning from StandBy). I'm not sure, but I think this started happening after some driver update (I do upgrade my drivers when lenovo updates them hoping they'll fix some of the annoying glitches, but this is what I usually get...).
My machine is: lenovo t61 7664-19G
And I also have: windows XP
If someone more tech-able would like to investigate this, I would be happy to supply all the details.

SoundMax audio driver did not load after returning from StandBy.

After my computer returns from StandBy, it shows me this message. "The SoundMax audio driver did not load. You may need to reinstall SoundMAX". I have downloaded and installed the latest driver that was supposed to fix this issue on Windows XP T61. Is there another solution?

No audio, after factory reset,flash install,SoundMax & HDA audio drivers won't install

My problems are:
No sound with Youtube or the laptop itself
SoundMax won't install either though I downloaded HDA audio drivers it requested.
Flash download stuffed up my SoundMax after factory reset.
I decided to do a factory reset after Youtube starting slowing down. After reset it (Youtube) kind of worked better
then the audio disappeared from the laptop. The drivers, SoundMax Audio was gone (greyed out).
I downloaded the Audio driver from Lenovo website for my X31 but SoundMax install wouldn't install because it kept saying HDA Audio drivers weren't installed.
I downloaded it from here:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT072373
So I went to HP site to download HDA audio drivers, then the SoundMax Audio reappeared and I had sound on my computer.
HDA Audio drivers link at HP website (since Lenovo doesn't have it):
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?cc=US&lang=en&swItem...
When I downloaded latest Adobe Flash, the SoundMax Audio disappeared again. So at the moment I have Youtube video without sound (and Firefox keeps telling me to download Flash?)
No sound on IE as well.
Would appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
I'm using:
ThinkPad X31 (2673-QU6)
Based on 2673-N7G
Win XP Pro Service 3 with recent updates
Firefox (latest) with add-ons
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to install the modem driver too.

HP Pavilion dv4155cl Notebook PC audio driver for win7

please help me to find the HP Pavilion dv4155cl Notebook PC audio driver for win7.....
thank you very much

Hi:
Try the XP driver. You will probably have to manually install it as follows...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46934-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Download and run the above file. Close out of any error windows.
Go to the device manager and click on the Multimedia Audio Controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Click on Have Disk and browse to: C:\SWSetup\sp34210\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmCH6 and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio from the list and see if the driver installs.
Then reboot.

Realtek HD Audio Driver Not Completing install - error message

Could I just say first that I am far from being technical minded so please allow for possible lapses in info.
Just done another complete reinstall of Win XP - formatted drive etc.
However unlike on previous instances the Realtek HD Audio driver has not installed.
I have downloaded the latest version - 5.10.0.5605 but this too at very near the end of installation gives the message Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure [Error Code 0xE0000227]
I have the G33M Series MS-7357(v1.X) Mainboard with Intel Core 2 Duo
Hope this is enough info to anyone to offer advice.
Thanks

H67MA-E45 - Audio driver will not install

Hello,
I look very much forward to suggestions how to install audio drivers for mainboard H67MA-E45 under Windows XP SP3.
After the hotfix KB888111 was installed, the Device Manager shows "Other Devices/Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus" (four of them show up).
I tried to install the latest audio driver 5.10.0.6151 (Windows XP) from MSI's web site, but I always get the same error message: "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software". I have looked through all available catalogues to find the missing files, without success.
Regards
Adlon

Thank you Svet, I tried the following suggestion but it did not work:
"Do this:
Go to device manager, then expand "System Devices", and locate "MS UAA bus" Right click over it, then click "Disable".
Reboot and enter in "Safe Mode", {hit "F8" just after bios post screen}
Once done go to device manager then expand "System Devices", and locate "MS UAA bus" Right click over it, then click "Un-install".
Reboot PC, then run Realtek driver installation again."
Instead of "Other Devices/Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus" the Device Manager now shows "Other Devices/Unknow device (four of them)"
Same message after trying to install the audio drivers "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software".
I also tried to install the audio drivers after I had changed from version SP3 to SP2 in the registry, but no difference.
Any more suggestions?
