MacBook 7,1 CS4206a audio driver crashes on Windows 8 Developer Preview

I'm experiencing crash on about every 20minutes on Windows 8 Developer Preview.(MacBook 7,1 late 2010 model)(BootCamp 4.0.0 installed)
It seems that Built-In audio driver is the one that causes the problem.
I disabled CS4206a driver in Driver Manager to prevent that.
But I really want my sounds back.
I've also tried CS4207driver from Cirrus Logic, and a old driver.
but none seems to be helping.
Any advice??

Thank you all for the replies. Unfortunatly, I found that audio driver is not the problem.
After disablling, removing the audio driver from the system32/drivers, the time til to get crash has indeed EXTENDED, but it still crashes..
misalaram, thank you for the idea. Formatted windows 8 and installed JUST the graphics card driver directly from the nvidia. Still crashes..
I think it is sort of like kernel panic. Which microsoft has said that they implemented multi-tasking capable kernel. I think somthing is unstable..

Unable to start the Dolby audio driver after updating windows 10

I am using a Lenovo Laptop G510 that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. Yesterday I updated it to Windows 10 and after that whenever I boot my pc to desktop I get an error message saying that "Unable to start the Dolby audio driver". I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audio driver from my computer but still the error comes up. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks

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 Driver for X40 Windows 7?

I have Windows 7 installed on my x40, it works well besides the audio not working, Ive tried troubleshooting the device, installing the xp driver, and nothing. The Lenovo website has a Vista driver but it says "Included with Operating System" It does not have a link where I can download this file.

Windows update gave me mine. Go into control panel, windows update, check the optional updates. There should be an audio driver in there.
What does it show in device manager? Any unknown devices? Not there at all? If it's in there with no yellow tag on it, you might have to uninstall it to get a new driver to install.

Lightroom crashes when rendering Develop preview under Vista 64-bit

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and Lightroom 1.1 crashes every time I click the "Develop" pane. My images are DNG files without the original RAW embedded.
Lightroom ONLY crashes when I load an image in Develop. If I open Develop without any image selected, it's fine (no image is displayed). I can zoom in to 100% in Library and it works fine. Exporting images to JPG works fine. Editing photos in the Library pane is fine. The crash data is:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: lightroom.exe
Application Version: 1.1.0.0
Application Timestamp: 4677e8e1
Fault Module Name: MFC80U.DLL
Fault Module Version: 8.0.50727.163
Fault Module Timestamp: 4484afec
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 0002511c
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
I've uninstalled LR 1.1 and reinstalled and it does the same thing. When I uninstall LR 1.1 and the install LR 1.0 (the previous version) Develop does open, but it doesn't render the images correctly - it looks like it misinterprets the white balance by about 1,500k degrees (very ugly), but Library shows the correct image/white-balance.
I've updated my nVidia 7900 graphics drivers to the latest version, appropriate to my OS and architecture. I've disabled XMP creation and Adobe Photo Downloader, as well as all other running applications (Antivirus, spyware, itunes, etc).
This USED to work fine in Vista and I did not make any significant changes, but I expect it's an issue with WindowsUpdate causing an incompatibility. I can't roll-back to my Vista state when it worked a month ago (that's another Vista frustration).
Anyway advice or comments would be GREATLY appreciated since this is an integral part of my professional workflow. I own a legitimate, licensed copy of both Lightroom and Vista, yet neither company is willing to talk to me unless I pay them money, which I think is complete extortion, but I digress.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Has anyone got a resolution on this? I have the same issue. Lightroom crashes when I click develop and the develop module begins to render the image. Clicking develop with no image selected allows the develop module to load however selecting develop on the menu bar and choosing either previous photo or next photo causes lightroom to crash while rendering an image.
I have a 64 bit capable HP XW8400 workstation with 2 dual core Xeon processors, 4 GB RAM, and a nVidia FX 4400 graphics card. This video card was put in as a test. the original video card was an nVidia quadra NVS something. When I ran the NVS card I used the drivers certified for Adobe CS2. I am running 32 bit Windows XP SP2 with all current updates. I do not have any MS office components installed on this system.
I read of some troubles around the Realtek HD audio driver and some Adobe applications (not Lightroom). Since I have this sound device I disabled it and removed the drivers...still crashes.
I also disabled the Intel VT in the system bios (I believe this is required to run 64 bit XP or Vista)... no change. Also disabled the NX feature...no change.
I also loaded VMware workstation 6.0 and installed Lightroom in a 32bit Windows XP SP2 VM. In the VM Lightroom works perfectly on the same machine...just not as snappy...
This stinks...Lightroom works perfectly on my poky laptop.

How do I reinstall iWork on Macbook mid-2007 after hard drive crash? Don't seem to have a disc so must have downloaded it.

Hi
The hard drive on my mid-2007 Macbook crashed. I've installed a new one but don't have a disc for iWork, which I must have downloaded. I can't see a version on the Apple store that looks compatible and I'm not even sure what version I had. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and it looks like version 09 won't work. Would 08 be OK? I'm assuming I'll have to buy a replacement as I don't have a record of the serial number. Would be great if I don't.
Thanks

Display Driver crashes in Windows 8.1 on late 2013 macbook

I have been able to install Windows 8.1 on my new 15 inch MacBook with Mavericks and Nvidia GPU. I installed windows along with the bootcamp drivers. The issue I am having now is that the machine complains that "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
This is happening every 30 seconds at its worst. When I have tried installing windows 8.1 earlier, rebooting resulted in windows booting to a black screen.
I have tried running windows updates but the same thing happens and after restarting the machine, windows just boots to a black screen. I have tried installing windows but not running any updates and the same thing happens. This is now my 3rd attempt in which I tried installing nvidia drivers direct from the nvidia website (331.65-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql) but the installer complains about incompatible hardware.
Is there any way to get windows to behave?
For refrence, I installed windows the following way:
Creating an iso from my windows 8.1 dvd on a windows machine.
Use bootcamp assist to create a bootable usb from the iso, allowing it to download boot camp drivers.
Splitting the hardrive into 2 partitions inside bootcamp assist.
After the computer reboots to install windows, I then rebooted back into OSx and went into disk utility. I reformatted the bootcamp partition. I also added 2 more partitions that I later plan to put linux on.
Restarted the notebook, booting from the bootable usb. Followed the windows 8.1 install prompts including formatting the bootcamp partition. Machine rebooted many times.
Allow the installer to install bootcamp drivers.
Restart and windows 8.1 was installed.

The Solution
The section about installing nvidia drivers worked flawlessly!
Download the latest nvidia driver.
Unpack/run it on your local harddrive(note where!), it won't install at this point"You need a modified .inf file to make the installer work"
Go to: www.laptopvideo2go.com - Windows 8 Nvidia 314.22 WHQL .inf File
Locate the inf file for the driver version you downloaded in step 1. Save the inf file locally
"Copy the downloaded .inf file into the Nvidia installer folders at: C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\314.22*\Win8_WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Dri ver (when asked if you want to replace the file say yes)." *note that driver version may differ
Run C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\314.22*\Win8_WinVista_Win7_64\International\setup.exe
You are probably done by now!
If problems still occur, go to Device Manager
Locate Monitors -> Generic PnP Monitor
right click and choose disable
My Problem
My screen went black on startup. I think some kind om Windows 8 update, was the cause.
Anyhow, uninstalling the nvidia drivers in safe mode* "solved" the black screen problem.
*Getting into safe mode was the most terrible part since shift + F8 wouldn't work for me at all(were I too slow?).

Failed to install audio driver for Kinect, Windows Embedded Standard 7

I am working on a project that uses the Kinect for Windows. However, the OS is Windows Embedded Standard 7 and it runs on Intel Atom N2600 processor (DE2i-150 board). The Kinect works well on Windows 7. When I migrated the code to WES7, the Kinect does not
work anymore. All Kinect driver were installed successfully, except for Audio. The board can 'see' the Kinect since it showed the little USB icon on the status bar. However, when I ran some test code from Developer Toolkit, they all said "Kinect is not
ready" status. I checked the power and reinstalled the SDK/drivers several time but had the same message.
Does anyone have any suggestion how to solve this problem?

I would first try a base install of Windows 7 on the same hardware. This will eliminate if it is a WES configurations of a missing component or the device hardware itself. Given that you are running a low powered system, this doesn't meet the minimum hardware
requirements, let alone the recommended:
Intel® Atom™ Processor N2600
(1M Cache, 1.6 GHz)
http://ark.intel.com/products/58916/
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/purchase/sensor_setup.aspx
Dual-core 2.66-GHz or faster processor
Dedicated USB 2.0 bus

I am recovering from a hard drive crash and Windows 7 reinstall.

I have reinstalled LR 4.3, photos still in same external drive location, LR catalog back to C:My Pictures file (from backup).
How do I now add these photos and connect the LR4.3 with the LR catalog to preserve my edits to date on these photos?
Thanks

If you have Lightroom installed, then all you should have to do is double click on the catalog that you restored. If the external hard drive letter is the same as it was before, you should be ready to go. If the letter has changed it will be necessary for you to use the find missing folders feature to get things synchronized.

Cirrus Logic CS4206A Sound Driver Problem in Windows 7

Hi All
I am having a problem with our Imacs. When we first installed windows 7 on our macs we found that we had no sound on the windows side and i figured out that the wrong drivers where installed so i have got the right driver off the MAC OS disk and i have installed the sound driver manually on our macs.
This originally fixed the problem but not every so often the sound driver breaks and we have no sound on the windows side. When i diagnose the sound driver is says there is a fix for this please apply this fix. I apply this fix and surprise sound comes back but this keeps on happening and is rather annoying.
Has anyone had this before and if so has anyone found a fix .
Thanks
Scott

Gtx 560 Ti twin frozr II driver crash

Hi, I have a gtx 560 Ti twin frozr II that randomly have driver crashes in windows. The screen would turn black for about 5 seconds and reappear saying the drivers have crashed. I have the latest drivers. This would happen about 2-3 times a day. Is there a way to fix this?

Check this thread and see if problem/possible solution might apply to you.
It possibly will if you're using Firefox and getting get pop-up messages saying something along the lines "nVidia driver crashed and then was restored"
