Before the GF4 i had a gf2 and i realized i forgot to uninstall the nvidia drivers before installing the new card's drivers. I uninstalled them and reinstalled the msi driver 3000. But no clock nor info tabs.
Can someone help me? Are those tabs needed?
I'm using xp pro, intel p4 1.8 on motherboard intel d850md, 1gb ram.
Also the 3d turbo experience gives me msivga.ocx initialization error.
Thanxs.

They are nVIDIA drivers with the added MSI tabs and logos...
But there is no real reson to do it.

Hi Wonka,
You forgot to mention this:
VIA audio drivers should not be installed on those systems that utilize third-party audio cards. For third-party audio drivers support please contact your audio card supplier directly.
Also, most MSI boards don't use this as far as I know....

No Audio on T61 "Legacy Audio Drivers" HELP!

I have tried many tips from many forums with no success. Please help if you can.
Introduction and Problem:
I purchased a used Lenovo T61 7661-12U 32-bit with Windows XP Pro from my company for personal use--I cannot get the installation CD used and there is no IT support for this. There is no audio from the laptop (internal speakers, headphones, or CD-ROM), but video works.
It does not matter if I reboot or resume laptop from standby--the audio does not work. I am the only one in my company with this problem ..my luck I guess.
My Attempts:
I performed Windows Update from the taskbar Start menu.
I tried to increase the volume by using the keyboard's volume control panel (a button) and there was no audio.
I tried to play a music CD in Windows Media Player, and a message stated that there might be no sound device.
Under Control Panel, "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties", Hardware, there are...
"Legacy Audio Drivers", "Audio Codecs", "Media Control Devices", "Legacy Video Capture Devices", "Video Codecs", and "HL-DT-ST..." as the "DVD/CD-ROM drives."
I am unable to delete/uninstall "Legacy Audio Drivers."
I tried to install 7ka114ww.exe from here (I got an "Installation Failed!" message):
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67816
I tried to install "SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio" (I got an "Installation Failed!" message).
I tried to install "Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers" (I got an "Installation Failed!" message).
In Device Manager, "Sound, video and game controllers", "Legacy Audio Drivers", "Device status", a message states, "This device is working properly."
What should I do to get audio working?
Thanks for your input.

Hello,
I have the same issue, but our unit is covered under warranty. Last Friday, the user booted up the computer and the message said something about the driver was altered and that the system wouldnt have audio.
Lenovo is sending a new system board to replace this one. They feel there is an issue with the main board. I will post results after they replace it to let everyone know.
Thanks!

Uninstall Audio Drivers

Hello,
I was trying various audio recording application, which installed various drivers. Even though I have uninstalled the application I see the drivers under System Preferences > Sound > Input and Output section. I tried removing them Utilities > AudioMIDI Setup. The - symbol is not activated for those drivers. Please suggest the necessary procedure to delete these audio drivers.
Thanks

If those apps did not come w/an uninstaller, you will need to manually search for their drivers using Spotlight, the HD and/or a 3rd party search software. Personally, I use Find File .

MacBook Pro Boot Camp Sound Audio Drivers Do Not Work with Miscrosoft Vista

I installed Vista via Boot Camp on my new 15" i7 MacBook Pro. After full MS Vista patching and Apple Boot Camp driver installation, the sound/audio does not work.
After some searching on the net, I've noticed that this is perhaps a widespread problem. Are there any solutions or an indication of when this will be fixed?

When you mean no sound, do you get the volume slider but nothing comes out or do you not get the volume slider at all?
Go to control panel, sound (you might need to switch to classic view to see the one im on about), then the "sounds" tab, there should be audio clips that you should be able to play, if the laptop has picked up the sound controller in it.
If you cant play these (greyed out) then the driver isnt installed properly.
There should be a update option in the boot camp program that is installed in your vista partition, run that, and if it fails you can try what is below.
Try going into device manager, uninstall/remove the drivers under the heading "sound, game and audio controllers" reboot the machine and it should install them back in again.
If it doesnt and asks for a disc, then they'll be on your max os x disc, but not sure you can install drivers individually this way. might have to reinstall the boot camp drivers from scratch.
Ive had this proplem on PC's (not macs) with drivers from manufacturer of the machines not working after windows updates. Fixed by using drivers from the audio controller manufacturer. But dont think its the same issue you are having.

A quick primer on audio drivers, devices, and latency

This information has come from Durin, Adobe staffer:
Hi everyone,
A common question that comes up in these forums over and over has to do with recording latency, audio drivers, and device formats. I'm going to provide a brief overview of the different types of devices, how they interface with the computer and Audition, and steps to maximize performance and minimize the latency inherent in computer audio.
First, a few definitions:
Monitoring: listening to existing audio while simultaneously recording new audio.
Sample: The value of each individual bit of audio digitized by the audio device. Typically, the audio device measures the incoming signal 44,100 or 48,000 times every second.
Buffer Size: The "bucket" where samples are placed before being passed to the destination. An audio application will collect a buffers-worth of samples before feeding it to the audio device for playback. An audio device will collect a buffers-worth of samples before feeding it to the audio device when recording. Buffers are typically measured in Samples (command values being 64, 128, 512, 1024, 2048...) or milliseconds which is simply a calculation based on the device sample rate and buffer size.
Latency: The time span that occurs between providing an input signal into an audio device (through a microphone, keyboard, guitar input, etc) and when each buffers-worth of that signal is provided to the audio application. It also refers to the other direction, where the output audio signal is sent from the audio application to the audio device for playback. When recording while monitoring, the overall perceived latency can often be double the device buffer size.
ASIO, MME, CoreAudio: These are audio driver models, which simply specify the manner in which an audio application and audio device communicate. Apple Mac systems use CoreAudio almost exclusively which provides for low buffer sizes and the ability to mix and match different devices (called an Aggregate Device.) MME and ASIO are mostly Windows-exclusive driver models, and provide different methods of communicating between application and device. MME drivers allow the operating system itself to act as a go-between and are generally slower as they rely upon higher buffer sizes and have to pass through multiple processes on the computer before being sent to the audio device. ASIO drivers provide an audio application direct communication with the hardware, bypassing the operating system. This allows for much lower latency while being limited in an applications ability to access multiple devices simultaneously, or share a device channel with another application.
Dropouts: Missing audio data as a result of being unable to process an audio stream fast enough to keep up with the buffer size. Generally, dropouts occur when an audio application cannot process effects and mix tracks together quickly enough to fill the device buffer, or when the audio device is trying to send audio data to the application more quickly than it can handle it. (Remember when Lucy and Ethel were working at the chocolate factory and the machine sped up to the point where they were dropping chocolates all over the place? Pretend the chocolates were samples, Lucy and Ethel were the audio application, and the chocolate machine is the audio device/driver, and you'll have a pretty good visualization of how this works.)
Typically, latency is not a problem if you're simply playing back existing audio (you might experience a very slight delay between pressing PLAY and when audio is heard through your speakers) or recording to disk without monitoring existing audio tracks since precise timing is not crucial in these conditions. However, when trying to play along with a drum track, or sing a harmony to an existing track, or overdub narration to a video, latency becomes a factor since our ears are far more sensitive to timing issues than our other senses.   If a bass guitar track is not precisely aligned with the drums, it quickly sounds sloppy. Therefore, we need to attempt to reduce latency as much as possible for these situations. If we simply set our Buffer Size parameter as low as it will go, we're likely to experience dropouts - especially if we have some tracks configured with audio effects which require additional processing and contribute their own latency to the chain. Dropouts are annoying but not destructive during playback, but if dropouts occur on the recording stream, it means you're losing data and your recording will never sound right - the data is simply lost.   Obviously, this is not good.
Latency under 40ms is generally considered within the range of reasonable for recording. Some folks can hear even this and it affects their ability to play, but most people find this unnoticeable or tolerable. We can calculate our approximate desired buffer size with this formula:
(Sample per second / 1000) * Desired Latency
So, if we are recording at 44,100 Hz and we are aiming for 20ms latency:   44100 / 1000 * 20 = 882 samples. Most audio devices do not allow arbitrary buffer sizes but offer an array of choices, so we would select the closest option. The device I'm using right now offers 512 and 1024 samples as the closest available buffer sizes, so I would select 512 first and see how this performs. If my session has a lot of tracks and/or several effects, I might need to bump this up to 1024 if I experience dropouts.
Now that we hopefully have a pretty firm understanding of what constitutes latency and under what circumstances it is undesirable, let's take a look at how we can reduce it for our needs. You may find that you continue to experience dropouts at a buffer size of 1024 but that raising it to larger options introduces too much latency for your needs. So we need to determine what we can do to reduce our overhead in order to have quality playback and recording at this buffer size.
Effects: A common cause of playback latency is the use of effects. As your audio stream passes through an effect, it takes time for the computer to perform the calculations to modify that signal. Each effect in a chain introduces its own amount of latency before the chunk of audio even reaches the point where the audio application passes it to the audio device and starts to fill up the buffer. Audition and other DAWs attempt to address this through "latency compensation" routines which introduce a bit more latency when you first press play as they process several seconds of audio ahead of time before beginning to stream those chunks to the audio driver. In some cases, however, the effects may be so intensive that the CPU simply isn't processing the math fast enough.   With Audition, you can "freeze" or pre-render these tracks by clicking the small lightning bolt button visible in the Effects Rack with that track selected. This performs a background render of that track, which automatically updates if you make any changes to the track or effect parameters, so that instead of calculating all those changes on-the-fly, it simply needs to stream back a plain old audio file which requires much fewer system resources. You may also choose to disable certain effects, or temporarily replace them with alternatives which may not sound exactly like what you want for your final mix, but which adequately simulate the desired effect for the purpose of recording.   (You might replace the CPU-intensive Full Reverb effect with the lightweight Studio Reverb effect, for example. Full Reverb effect is mathematically far more accurate and realistic, but Studio Reverb can provide that quick "body" you might want when monitoring vocals, for example.) You can also just disable the effects for a track or clip while recording, and turn them on later.
Device and Driver Options: Different devices may have wildly different performance at the same buffer size and with the same session. Audio devices designed primarily for gaming are less likely to perform well at low buffer sizes as those designed for music production, for example. Even if the hardware performs the same, the driver mode may be a source of latency. ASIO is almost always faster than MME, though many device manufacturers do not supply an ASIO driver. The use of third-party, device-agnostic drivers, such as ASIO4ALL (www.asio4all.com) allow you to wrap an MME-only device inside a faux-ASIO shell. The audio application believes it's speaking to an ASIO driver, and ASIO4ALL has been streamlined to work more quickly with the MME device, or even to allow you to use different inputs and outputs on separate devices which ASIO would otherwise prevent.
We also now see more USB microphone devices which are input-only audio devices that generally use a generic Windows driver and, with a few exceptions, rarely offer native ASIO support. USB microphones generally require a higher buffer size as they are primarily designed for recording in cases where monitoring is unimportant. When attempting to record via a USB microphone and monitor via a separate audio device, you're more likely to run into issues where the two devices are not synchronized or drift apart after some time. (The ugly secret of many device manufacturers is that they rarely operate at EXACTLY the sample rate specified. The difference between 44,100 and 44,118 Hz is negligible when listening to audio, but when trying to precisely synchronize to a track recorded AT 44,100, the difference adds up over time and what sounded in sync for the first minute will be wildly off-beat several minutes later.) You are almost always going to have better sync and performance with a standard microphone connected to the same device you're using for playback, and for serious recording, this is the best practice. If USB microphones are your only option, then I would recommend making certain you purchase a high-quality one and have an equally high-quality playback device. Attempt to match the buffer sizes and sample rates as closely as possible, and consider using a higher buffer size and correcting the latency post-recording. (One method of doing this is to have a click or clap at the beginning of your session and make sure this is recorded by your USB microphone. After you finish your recording, you can visually line up the click in the recorded track with the click in the original track by moving your clip backwards in the timeline. This is not the most efficient method, but this alignment is the reason you see the clapboards in behind-the-scenes filmmaking footage.)
Other Hardware: Other hardware in your computer plays a role in the ability to feed or store audio data quickly. CPUs are so fast, and with multiple cores, capable of spreading the load so often the bottleneck for good performance - especially at high sample rates - tends to be your hard drive or storage media. It is highly recommended that you configure your temporary files location, and session/recording location, to a physical drive that is NOT the same as you have your operating system installed. Audition and other DAWs have absolutely no control over what Windows or OS X may decide to do at any given time and if your antivirus software or system file indexer decides it's time to start churning away at your hard drive at the same time that you're recording your magnum opus, you raise the likelihood of losing some of that performance. (In fact, it's a good idea to disable all non-essential applications and internet connections while recording to reduce the likelihood of external interference.) If you're going to be recording multiple tracks at once, it's a good idea to purchase the fastest hard drive your budget allows. Most cheap drives spin around 5400 rpm, which is fine for general use cases but does not allow for the fast read, write, and seek operations the drive needs to do when recording and playing back from multiple files simultaneously. 7200 RPM drives perform much better, and even faster options are available. While fragmentation is less of a problem on OS X systems, you'll want to frequently defragment your drive on Windows frequently - this process realigns all the blocks of your files so they're grouped together. As you write and delete files, pieces of each tend to get placed in the first location that has room. This ends up creating lots of gaps or splitting files up all over the disk. The act of reading or writing to these spread out areas cause the operation to take significantly longer than it needs to and can contribute to glitches in playback or loss of data when recording.

There is one point in the above that needed a little clarification, relating to USB mics:

If you are going to spend that much, then you'd be better off putting a little more money into an external device with a proper mic pre, and a little less money by not bothering with a USB mic at all, and just getting a 'normal' condensor mic. It's true to say that over the years, the USB mic class of recording device has caused more trouble than any other, regardless.
You should also be aware that if you find a USB mic offering ASIO support, then unless it's got a headphone socket on it as well then you aren't going to be able to monitor what you record if you use it in its native ASIO mode. This is because your computer can only cope with one ASIO device in the system - that's all the spec allows. What you can do with most ASIO hardware though is share multiple streams (if the device has multiple inputs and outputs) between different software.
Seriously, USB mics are more trouble than they're worth.

MSI 785GM-E51 can't install audio drivers

Hey, I would be grateful if you could help me with this problem.
When I try to install the audio drivers of this mobo(785GM-E51), Windows 7 can't find them. It offers me another set of drivers - that of VIA's, but it should be Realtek's. Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but I have a an issue with front panel microphone jack(it's not working), so I want to install the proper drivers. I tried disabling auto-installing option of Windows 7, and then install the drivers that MSI offers officially , but still the computer acts as if I didn't install anything.
EDIT: It seems that I have a different motherboard - in the document I have(about the parts of PC), it says that the computer has MSI 785GM-E51, but now that I checked the informationa about motherboard in the Windows itself, it appaars that ASrock M3A770DE is in the case. So I guess the fact that I can't install the MSI's drivers is because of different mobo. I have no idea how this could've happened.

>>Posting Guide<<
Why don't you open up a case and read the model? Is the computer secured with some sort of sticker that voids warranty if opened?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit)...my headphones are not working. I can't find the 3.5mm jack that apple suggests using. I have tried installing/unistalling several different audio drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?

you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install.

Best way to update AC97 audio drivers?

Is the best way to update AC97 audio drivers = dl. from msi the latest drivers which are 5.10.00.5970 (A3.80) I currently have 5890. Then uninstalling old ones from add-remove programs then install newest ones. Since live update doesn't seem to get it done. Thanks

Garage band wont work, need to install midi or audio drivers?

tried backing up my comp to install OSX leopard but failed. now garage band wont work! I keep getting this message...also want to know if its possible to upgrade to osx leopard with a 4th gen macbook that runs osx 10.4.11
*garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers.*
Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.

Im having the same problem, I upgraded my IMAC and was using tiger and I upgraded it to MAC 10.5.7, now GarageBand wont work saying my midi and audio drivers arent correct. My Reason 4.0 wont start either saying the same thing failed to open the midi library. My Protools works fine but I dont know how to update the audio and midi drivers that it matches the software I uploaded. I also went to the audio midi set up and it read, Audio MIDI Setup was unable to launch the MIDI Server. This means that you will be unable to view or edit your MIDI configurations.
Improperly written MIDI drivers can prevent the MIDI Server from launching successfully. If you have recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then relaunching Audio MIDI Setup. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, then please contact the driver's manufacturer for further support.

New Nforce audio drivers?

I noticed that nvidia have done a special release of just their audio drivers, has anyone tried these on the neo2, does it solve problems as they say it does?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_audio_4.57_win2kxp
there are no READMEs or instructions telling you how to install it.
very strange.. probably a reaction to pressure from the half life 2 people..
you can tell it has been done in a hurry because the "installation hints" tell you to uninstall your DISPLAY driver first hehe.
I guess it will give a similar benefits to that Bas described earlier when he did the same thing manually.

No, this is a new service. The service that you are referring too is called "IMAPI CD-Burning Com Service". That service is required (though it can stay in manual) and is part of XP and came from Microsoft.
However, after installing the new Nvidia audio driver, a new service was added, called "Imapi Helper". This service is not part of XP, and did not exist on my system prior to installing this nvidia audio driver (I keep very close tabs on services and the like that run on my system, and this one was not there yesterday).
Furthermore, if you go into MSconfig Services tab, and choose to hide all microsoft services, this service does not get hidden. It's not a Microsoft service, it was added by the Nvidia driver.

Q100 audio drivers for Windows 7?

I recently purchased a Q100 (3014-1CU), and after an initial bootup to the factory installed Win XP, I installed Windows 7 (32-bit), via USB cdrom. That process went smooth and everything works except for the audio. Windows 7 detected audio as "High Definition Audio Device" and uses the generic microsoft provided driver (hdaudio.dll). Though the device itself seems detected correctly (there is no yellow exclamation point in device manager), the audio emitted contains crackling, static, and appears to be slightly off pitch. It is similar to a problem I had a long time ago (on different hardware) where the wrong bitrate was set for the card. So anyways, I've tried everything I can think of to get the audio working:
- Verified all physical connections are secure (Since the audio worked in my initial bootup to XP, this shouldn't be the issue)
- Swapped speakers and cables (same problem)
- Tweaked various audio settings: Tried all available bitrates, disable digital enhancements and pretty well every other driver-exposed setting was tweaked
- Tried other generic audio drivers that microsoft ships (Microsoft WDM Audio Drivers; another version of High Definition audio device). These drivers did not even initialize
- Tried to tweak BIOS settings (only thing in BIOS is to disable the onboard audio outright)
- Looked on lenovo's website for updated drivers: Nothing is available for Q100
- Looked on SIS website for updated drivers: Nothing is available for this chipset
- Did a PCI database lookup and found this to be a Realtek based device; installed the newest driver's found on www.realtek.com.tw (version R2.39). These drivers installed correctly, but did not fix the problem.
So at this point, I'm suspecting I'm going to need a lenovo or Sis driver to get this working. Can someone from lenovo point me to drivers for this device (even if they are XP drivers) or offer any suggestions?
Thanks

For anyone else who runs into this issue, I managed to "fix" the problem by installing an old version of the realtek driver (5898_PG281_VISTA_TurnOff_PullMode_Upd), found with a bunch of other debugging and hints on this thread: http://www.sevenforums.com/sound-audio/22369-realtek-windows-7-64rtm-crackle-static-popping.html
I'm still looking forward to seeing an official driver posted by Lenovo for this issue, since the old driver is out of date, removes some functionality and is unsigned
