Problems with sound drivers - audio device on high definition audio bus

i turned on my computer one day and the sound was gone. no "speaker" icon in the lower right-hand corner of the screen; no choices available via the "control panel: sounds and audio devices" icon. when i went to device manager, i saw "audio device on high definition audio bus" had a yellow exclamation mark. i saw some sites suggested downloading the realtek high definition audio, but that didn't seem to work -- and now i don't see the audio device on high definition audio line either.
any ideas? from what i've read, i gather this is a somewhat common problem but no solid way to fix this. i know something similar has happened to me a year ago but i was able to fix it somehow.

Hello,
Have you tried installing the latest audio device drivers for your ThinkPad? If so, did that solve the problem?

T61 - No sound - Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow exclamation mark

Hi,
I am not sure when it started but suddenly my T61 has no audio/sound. I checked the Device Manager and did see the Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow (big) question mark with yellow exclamation mark superimposed on it. I downloaded, from Lenovo Support site, the 7ka114ww.exe , hoping to fix it by un-install that device, reboot it, and re-install using the download exe file, but to no avail.
Any suggestion or help is really appreciated. Many thanks in advance
PS. I also see the Base System Device pop up after a reboot and ask to be installed ?!? That pop-up had been there for a while before the audio/sound was lost.
Solved!

Hi Maliha,
I followed your instruction to execute the exe file under C:\Drivers. After that, I rebooted the system and no more error pop up for the missing audio device. I checked the Device Manager and the Audio Device on High Definition Audion Bus disappeared and the SoundMax was shown. But again, still no sound. I clicked on TroubleShooting on that SoundMax and followed that instruction. I found out the default Sound device was erroneously pointed to BlueTooth. I made the change to SoundMax and voila ... the sweet ding sound came back.
That was a wonderful feeling to be able to fix this nagging problem that my company HelpDesk could not help me. All thank to this forum and particular Maliha. Again, my appreciation to the valuable help.

Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus Prob

I installed a Sound Blaster Audigy SE and it's drivers, but when I restarted my computer Windows told me?that it'sdetected even more hardware. (Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus) I tried using the drivers included with the Sound Blaster CD for it, but they didn't work. Regardless, my sound works and I can see "Sound Blaster Audigy" under sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager; however, I also see "" listed under other devices with a yellow question mark next to it. Does anyone know what's wrong?
Thank you for your time.Message Edited by YSM on 02-7-200804:33 PM

Hello,
I have a feeling that this device refers to your onboard soundcard. You haven't mentioned which motherboard you have, but I suppose it's one which features a high definition audio codec, probably a Realtek one.
So, the solution to your problem should be the following:
If you have english windows, put the motherboard's CD into the dri've an go to the "sound" or similar named folder and look for a "microsoft UAA something" folder, containing a KB888.exe file. Install this hotfix and then install the audio drivers of the motherboard (you will have 2 operational soundcards afterwards).
There is a small variation to that, if your windows are non-english. Motherboard manufacturers usually include only the english version of the UAA hotfix on the CD. In that case, you must download the multilanguage package of the hotfix. Unfortunately, microsoft doesn't offer it for download, so go to www.gigabyte.com.tw and look for any motherboard with onboard HD audio. Gigabyte offers the multilingual package for download.
Alternati'vely, you can disable the onboard audio from your BIOS and use only your Audigy

[P965 Neo-F v2] Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus

Hi,
I've some problem installing the onboard sound card (Realtek).
A first part of the driver is installed correctly but a second part is always detected (Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus) and failed to install.
I've processed as followed:
1 - fresh installation Windows XP
- install INFfrom CD
- install network from CD
- install sound from CD
2 - fresh installation Windows XP
- install INF (latest driver on USB Key)
- install network (latest driver on USB Key)
- install sound (latest driver on USB key)
I think the unknown detected peripheral has to do with microsoft (there's a patch included with Sound Realtek drivers)
Any help is welcome
Thanks

Quote from: nightmare99 on 12-September-07, 23:16:35
Yes its the Microsoft UAA High Definition Bus driver. how are you installing yoiur sound driver are you running the realtek setup? If so it should install the ms patch.
I'm using the realtek setup and yes, the patch is installed.
I've also tried to force the microsoft bus driver (by choosing manually the driver) without success

XP 64 Bit - Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus - Driver needed!!

This concerns a Macbook Pro
Hi, I have followed many tutorials on the internet to help install XP 64 bit on my bootcamp partition.
I know this is not advised due to the lack of driver support but I have 8GB of RAM and want to utilise it all on my favourite OS.
Things have gone well and almost all devices have the correct drivers installed.
There is one exception to this:
I installed the RealTek drivers from the high definition setup exe and Device Manager simply tells me I have codecs installed for audio and video etc. the problem is that under 'Other Device' I have 'Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus'
Due to this, my speakers do not function and no sound tray icon exists. I have tried many, many different drivers so far and have had no luck.
My macbook is a 2.26GHz model and I think is known as the 5,5 model of MBP.
If anybody could offer assistance it would be widely appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

I just solved the problem
The four devices are NVIDIA High Definition Audio that the driver is included in NVIDIA Display Driver installer from lenovo.
I should install Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio driver first before installing the NVIDIA Display Driver. What I did before was I installed the NVIDIA Display Driver first before installing UAA High Definition Audio driver, that's why the four NVIDIA High Definition Audio driver weren't detected, hence the drivers weren't installed.
So the solution for Windows XP SP2 users is just simply reinstall the NVIDIA Display Driver. If you install SP3, it already has the UAA Audio driver.

No sound on Satellite A300 - Realtek High Definition Audio

I haven't had any audio on my A300 using Realtek High Definition Audio for 4 days now. One minute it was playing a CD just fine using Windows Media Player.  When I closed it and tried to play another CD, the next minute, the sound was gone and gave me the error code - C00D11B1, The first time this happened to me a little over a week ago, I was able to do a system restore and that fixed the problem. However, the next time it happened, the system restore didnt' work. It kept giving me an error message saying that it could not be completed.
So, since then, I have tried everything I've read in the different forums:
1.  I've reinstalled the Realtek driver
2. I've checked checked the Device Manager>Realtek - it said that the device was working properly.
3. I've checked the volume control and volume scroll wheel.
4. Tried plugging in a headset, but heard no sound on that either.
5. System restore still doesn't work 4 days later.
When I try to test the speakers. I get the message "Failed to play test tone."
I'm out of ideas and I need to get this resolved. Any other ideas I can try?
Thanks.

Is this the driver you reinstalled?

System restore still doesn't work 4 days later
Not unusual. Sometimes the restore files get corrupted. The only way to fix it is to turn System Restore off and then on again. Unfortunately, that removes all of the old restore points.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59291.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow thisand then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Start the notebook and let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K
