Weird/massive Audio driver

I am adding drivers to Lenovo ThinkPad 11E into Out of box...
Have a bad filling after dealing with Audio Driver form Lenovo Package.
The latest on Lenovo site is dated November 2014. Downloaded and extracted driver for Win7 x64.
In extracted folder : Vista64   Vista32 (that I deleted for preventing for import) and WDM. These folders contain bunch of crap (sorry for expression) and inf files. NO Windows 7 in package proposed for Windows 7 (was not a pleasure to see that
The laptop came with Windows 7 and contained Drivers folder (extracted) on C:\
I compared the computer one and latest downloaded. They are the same. NO Windows 7 folder. So I deleted Vista32. And imported the heck... Look at the pic please. I never saw such a huge quantity of drivers for one particular device - in this case Audio card.
Checked Device Manager of original OEM installation. and was surprised again. All what I need is one driver that will allow to produce the sound. It is not multimedia station.
What do you think about this? I will probably disable Audio folder in Out of Box to make one deployment and see if Audio card will be detected by Windows 7. If not than I can just find for missing one.
My question is more about such a "modern" driver content for Windows 7 (that actually is still Jurassic Park Vista written).

  • Probook 4530s sound not working after reïnstalling audio driver

    Hello,
    The last few days I noticed this weird sound while I was playing music or any other sounds from my computer. It's hard to explain what it sounds like but it was like the sound got distorted for a second every now and then, kinda like a robot sound. I looked up if I could fix this problem and found that reïnstalling the audio driver should fix the problem. That's what I did but after reïnstalling and restarting my laptop it said 'Nou Audio Output Device is installed' which I clearly did from the hp website. I have no sound at the moment. I tried installing a previous version of the audio driver, but that didn't work either. I'm pretty sure I installed the right drivers (I tried sp59291 and the earlier version sp57776).
    I also don't know which version I installed first. 
    Additional information:
    -Before installing a new audio driver I went to Device Manager and uninstalled the current audio driver.
    -At Device Manager beneath the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC there is a line called 'Intel(R) Display Audio'
    -At Device Manager there's a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark at IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    -I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed, service pack 1
    I hope you can help me out!

  • Error - 5000 was returned by the audio driver

    Out of nowhere I'm being constantly plagued by this annoying message in Logic 8.0.2 I haven't change anything in the past 2 weeks and was working fine all day yesterday.
    Error - 5000 was returned by the audio driver. pops up and I have to clear it or I can't access the session. This has brought work to a standstill...
    I've tried clearing out all the caches, disabling all background apps, repairing permissions, turned on the I/O buffer safety... nothing has helped. The only thing I haven't tried at this point is switching out to another interface...
    System info
    OS X 10.5.4
    MacBook Pro 2.16 intel core 2 duo
    3GB Ram
    Apogee Rosetta 800 interface
    thanks,
    bd

    Thanks for the responses guys.
    The session is huge, and I called Apogee, at first we thought it might be a 3rd party plug-in. It's not...
    I eventually noticed it happens in only certain sections of the song, and hadn't noticed there is a crash cymbal I pulled in which is playing from the server. I had logic copy the file to the local drive and now we're all good... Thankfully so too!
    Funny thing is, This session has been playing fine with the file from the server for months. Also, all the permissions for the folders and files where the sample is are all set to read/write... <shrug> And why would this return an Audio Driver error? More apple permissions weirdness...
    But at least it's fixed, Thanks for the help guys.

    Hi, John:
    See if this audio driver works.

  • G510 audio driver installati​on problem on Windows 8.1

    I've just received my brand new Lenovo G510 and installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit onto it.
    Most of the drivers from the attached CD installed without any problems (though I was quite surprised that no newer versions were available on the Support wrbpage) but I can't install audio driver.
    Apparently this series is equipped in either Conexant or Realtek audio chips and the provided setup application is desigend to detect the correct chip and run the appropriate driver installation program.
    The problem is that setup is not working for me. All I receive is the notification "This utility can not be used on this machine". Since there are no "orphan" audio devices in the Device Manager, I can't really tell which audio chipset is installed in my machine. I don't want to install both dirvers as it may just cause confilcts.
    How can I say which audio chipset is installed and install the correct driver?
    Solved!

    hi mikolajek,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Under Device manager
      You should look for your Audio
    Normally it stays under Sound and gaming controller,
       And if no driver is installed in shows as High Definition Audio
    Right click on it and select Properties
         Go to the Details TAB
    change the Value to Hardware ID then check the details
    ex. PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_051014E4&REV_01 
    Get the 4 digit after VEN and DEV
    Ven is the Vendor and Devi is the Device
    Go to PCI database and do a search for the VEN
    Then search for the DEV and youll know that device
    Regards
    Solid Cruver

  • Dolby Audio driver cannot start after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Hello.
    Windows 8 was the worst thing that happened to Windows, but since I bought this G505s laptop with Win8 pre-installed, i had no other choice to go to. Few days after the purchase, Windows 8.1 arrived and I updated 8 to 8.1 hoping to see some improvements. But to my sadness, 8.1 has ruined my expectations, and Lenovo didn't even care to address the user issues in 8.1
    Here are my Issues : 
    OneKey Recovery : Updated to 8.xx.xx.xxxx
    The OneKey Recovery app tells that 'Current system cannot create a backup'
    I can't have a secure laptop without it creating the Recovery !!
    Lenovo, please address this issue and fix the OneKey Recovery Problem !!
    Dolby audio app : Doesn't open, and if once it starts, cannot configure the Equalizer !

    hi sotim01,
    Thanks for posting!
    1. Uninstall all components,
            Open Device Manager and Uninstall your Conexant audio under Sound and ganing controllers (make sure to place a check under delete driver software for this device)
    2. Open Control Panel Uninstall a program and highlight the dolby component and an Uninstall button will appear.
    3. Open your C: drive and Delete any folder that says drivers if non then continue with the next step
    4. Download this Driver for installation
            Conexant Audio Driver  
    Install it and continue
    5. Open Drive C: now and you should have the Drivers folder back.
          Open that, Open Connexant Open Dolby Gui,  then you should have Dolbyaa for Advanced audio.
    Restart your PC and there you go!
    Let me know your findings
    Cheers!

  • How can I install audio driver from BootCamp into Windows 7?

    After an uneventful installation of Window 7 (64) onto iMac  cor 2duo OS X 10.6.7.
    NO SOUND.
    I have tried to replace the Audio Driver HD through Device Manager: it is not working
      a) if I disable the Windows Driver and try to install the Cirrus driver from the BootCamp disc, I am informed that "device already has the optimal driver"
      b) if I unistall the WIndows driver, Sound Video Game Controller disappears from Device Manager-so there is no place through which I can install a new driver.
    c) If I start from the BootCamp/Driver folder and select Cirrus and Install, I am again getting the answer that the "device already has the optimal driver"
    I am frustrated! Please, can you advise how to proceed?

    You do NOT want to disable unless you are not going to use a device.
    You want to rollback or uninstall and get Cirrus driver.
    Try Boot Camp (Setup) repair-reinstall - to enable the device.

  • How can I just use a generic Realtek audio driver without "Beats Audio" interfering!?

    Beats audio is terrible! I just want to have a flat EQ with no stupid sound effects enabled. The only way I've been able to do this so far, is to uninstall the audio driver, and just use the generic windows one instead. But what I would like to do is use a generic Realtek audio driver, and completely remove Beats Audio from my computer.
    After uninstalling the audio driver that comes with my laptop, I tried getting a standard Realtek driver from their website. But when I install that, Beats Audio reappears! This is so frustrating! How can I uninstall Beats Audio? I want it gone forever! I can see from searching these forums that this is a common problem. But none of the solutions have shown how to just use a standard Realtek driver without this Beats Audio rubbish.
    Can anyone tell me how this is possible? I'll stick to the generic windows driver if I have to. But it would be nice if I could just use the Realtek drivers as they were meant to be.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. But you've misunderstood the question. I know how to uninstall the sound driver and just use a generic Windows one instead. But what I'm actually looking to do, is install the Realtek audio driver without Beats Audio. Thanks.

  • Error message occurs when I try to install Realtek HD Audio driver on Satellite M70

    Microsoft Bus Driver should be loaded in your system before installing Realtek HD Audio Driver
    This is the error message that I got when I tried to install the original Realtek drivers! Removed/installed the new WXP media center 2005, everything was fine but the modem and the sound, for the modem no problem but for the sound...(sight) I even downloaded new drivers on the internet and THEY WORKED!
    But when I try next time to open my computer I get all the time a blue screen then it shuts down? What is wrong? I got everything original and I followed the step. What should I do?
    By the way I got an Satellite M70 - 168 laptop.

    Hi
    Someone get this similar error message on his notebook OSs and according to the information the Microsoft patch should helps to sort it out.
    Found this useful knowledge base article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835221
    This document advice to install the KB835221 patch but that is only officially available by talking to Microsoft technical support!
    But dont worry buddy. The Google search engine is the key!
    Try to search for this KB835221 patch and Im sure you will find the right one!
    The required UAA drivers in the Microsoft documents are not included with XP SP2 or SP1, so it's a useful QFE to have around if you want to use newer sound cards like the Realtek HD Audio.
    PS: If the Q835221 didn't help then you can also try the updated driver from Microsoft Q888111 article, which has 4 versions depending on your OS and installed service pack.
    Good luck!

  • HP Pavillion dv6500 with windows xp pro AND NO audio Driver!

    i have a hp pavilion dv6500 laptop entertainment pc here with me.  It came with windows vista but i downgraded to windowx xp pro.  it runs alot smoother!  Everything works great except one problem?  The audiio drivers that the hp websites has does not work?  I cannot find the right audio drivers?  I have tried even letting windows update search for the drivers with no luck?  Why are the drivers on the website not working?  How can i get this to work?  if i upgrade it to windows 7 can i intergarde the vista drivers to work with the windows 7 program?  i really need help!  Thanks!

    The General XP Downgrade Guide for HP notebooks is what you need to read. This well written guide has helped (at least!!) thousands of forum members downgrade their notebook successfully. There is a section that applies to your notebook.
    The issue you are having probably is related to not installing the MSUAA driver before the device specific audio driver.

  • Beats audio driver error -This device cannot start. (Code 10) STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE

    i just did a windows 8.1 reinstall, and now suddenly my audio doesnt work? i torubleshoot the issue and it suggests uninstalling and re installing, but i dont know how to do that cant find the driver software someone help?

    What kind of reinmstall did you perform?  If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed.  Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.
