With Vista Service Pack 2 NO SOUND on HP530 with Conexant High Definition SmartAudio HD2.

Last night I installed Vista service pack 2. Now I get the message "No audio output device is installed".
Drivers are up to date - that is, there are no new drivers for this Vista release to be found (yet).
Tried to roll back as suggested in another post. However, no new driver was installed so no roll back.
It looks as if Vista SP2 needs new drivers from HP. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Btw, HP instant support reports "the information you entered is not of a currently supported mode". Bought that model 1,5 year ago..... ;-(

This is a worldwide issue with several audio drivers after a recent Windows update. Microsoft's website shows a disclaimer saying that it is not responsible and that we should approach the Original Equipment Manufacturer about the problem. Obviously, our OEM is HP who, to date, have neither communicated a fix to their customers, nor have they issued a recall. <text deleted>
Please see the other thread in this forum entitled: HP Quicktouch On Screen Display has stopped working and no audio output device is detected.

Making the WMB54G work with Vista (Service Pack 1) - it does work.

I posted this in response to a thread, thought it could use its own topic.
There is hope and potential success for Vista users!   I got the WMB54G 2 days ago. I spent 6 hours with it and nearly threw the product AND my computer out the window the first night. I scoured this forum for the past two days, and by putting pieces together from various threads, I'm now using the Music Bridge successfully with my 1 month old Dell XPS M1530 with Vista Home Ultimate with Service pack 1.  Once I had my gameplan, it worked perfectly the first time I tried the new approach. I will try to write a step by step process of what I did in the next few days but for now.....
1. Throw out the installation CD that comes with the music bridge (its useless for Vista).... I'm kidding, but you get the point.
2. You HAVE to dowload the Vista compatible installation utility and Firmware upgrade from the Linksys forum - I don't have the link right now, but its here in this forum.
3. Run the Vista driver setup to install the Musicbridge utility - the "Install utility" link at the bottom of the setup screen, but DO NOT try to configure the router since you'll just have to do it again later.
4. Run the firmware upgrade for the router (it behaves exactly like the setup utility, but instead of configuring the hardware for use, it upgrades the fimware)
5. Run the Vista driver setup to configure the router (only after the firmware upgrade).   I didn't have to do anything outside of the auto setup. i'm using a Linksys wireless G router as well, and it connected with 64 Bit WEP encryption no problem once i entered my encryption passphrase.
6. Open up MSCONFIG and disable the CMFLYWAVE Application on Startup
7. In your Program Files directory, find \Linksys\wmb54g\wmb54g.exe, \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmas2ds.exe, and \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmflywav.exe - For all three files, right click and go to Properties\compatability.   Check the "Run this program in compatability mode for:"   pick XP with SP 2.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE PEOPLE WHO POSTED THAT LAST BIT!!!!
8. I'd suggest restarting the computer now.
9. You might get a "WMB54G.exe has stopped running error" on restart... that's ok
10. Start the following files in this order:
cmas2ds.exe
cmflywav.exe
wmb54g.exe
11. The utility should start, and then you can connect to the bridge via the system tray icon. - you might have to also set the default audio device to the Music Bridge by right clicking your system tray speaker icon
12. Uncheck the "Start the Music Bridge when I start Windows" option in the utility screen - and execute the three files in step 10 each time you restart.
I hope this works for you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally got my WMB54G to work with Vista SR1. It took me 4 hours of struggling to figure it out though.
What I did was:
1. Download the latest utility and firmware from the linksys support site.
2. To set up the device, preferably use http://192.168.1.210. There are http setup instructions on the linksys customer service site. Alternately, you can use the setup wizard on the CD but I would recommend avoiding it if you can. If you do use the setup CD and it installs the WMB54G utility, promptly uninstall the utility afterwords and restart the computer.
3. Update the firmware to v.2.18 by using http://192.168.1.210 and going to the HELP tab
4. Install the latest utility from the support site but do not run the main setup. Simply run setup.exe in the utility folder AND GIVE IT PLENTY OF TIME. Walk Away and let the installer finish and close. Then do the thing people discovered -- edit the properties of C:\Program Files\Linksys\WMB54G.exe and make sure it is set for running in XP compatability mode.
5. Restart the computer
Mine started working fine after I did all of this -- the WMB54G came up automatically and found the device. Keep in mind I do not have WEP or anything -- just unsecured wireless.
Good luck.
Mike

Vista 64 bit - Conexant high definition SmartAudio 221 driver

This driver download for 64 bit Vista is unsigned and therefore will not install, if you have SP1 you cannot turn off the check for driver signature, therefore the driver upgrade is useless.
Any ideas?

Hi DieterHaes!
I don't know what's up with the Lenovo driver download, but I have a suggestion.
Hop on over to the Microsoft Update Catalog and download the latest signed driver from there. It should get you working.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Why not update to latest Vista?

When will Best Buy offer Vista Service Pack 2?

It looks like all the Vista PC's on bestbuy.com have service pack 1. Microsoft released Service Pack 2 on May 26. When will Best Buy PC's come with Vista Service Pack 2 installed? It is hard for a person to upgrade to SP2l themsevles?

When you purchase your computer from best buy with optimization service (or for an existing PC) the update to SP2 is done during The optimization. At least at my precinct we do.

JFileChooser DFS and Windows Vista Service Pack 2

We updated a computer with Vista Service Pack 2 and now JFileChooser is not opening up links that are DFS.
To make sure it was not our app I tried using the JFileChooser Demo from Sun and I am still having the same issue. Java will allow me to quick but it will fail silently.
I have retried using the latest 1.6.0_14 (6u14) JDK and JRE but still no luck (Which says support Windows Vista SP2). Is there a bug with the JRE? We have reverted the computer to SP1 and are alerting our user base.
Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to report it as a bug?
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,

I have verified that this does not work with Windows 7

Upgraded to Vista Service Pack 2 on my Satellite L305-S5955...now there's no sound!

Last night I upgraded to Vista Service Pack 2 and today it says I don't have a soundcard. Out of all of computers, this is my only Vista, so I'm having trouble fixing this problem.
I tried to upgrade the drivers from the Toshiba website, but it's not a driver issue; there is no card being recognized.
So, I used the "Add New Hardware" wizard to re-add the soundcard. Doesn't work.
I see lots of people having trouble with this. And also, when the sound was working, it was really quiet. I'd have to turn off the dishwasher, heat, laundry machines, etc to hear anything!
Hope someone can help me on this.

Vista Service Pack 2 incompatible with Acrobat 8.1.6?

On 6/13/09 I installed Vista Service Pack 2 and then around 6/16 or 6/17 I installed the 8.1.6 Acrobat update. By 6/18 I could no longer print to PDF from any application; even printing a test page failed. I tried re-installing Acrobat this morning, but I am still getting error messages in the Adobe PDF print queue. Everything seemed to work fine with the Adobe PDF printer before the 8.1.6 update, so I am guessing that there is some kind of incompatibility latent in Vista Service Pack 2 that is now actively preventing printing to the Adobe PDF printer. I would rather not have to use another PDF printer, though I did download one that seems to work for now, until the Acrobat issue is resolved.
Has anyone else experienced this, or found a solution? Thanks!

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with SP2 installed and use Acrobat 8 Pro.     Recently Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 installed automatically and I then began having problems with producing a document from my scanner (EPSON CX3200 all in one).   My system is all up to date, drivers, programs, and Windows, Norton 360 etc.    After debugging I found I was having problems with the ADMPlugin.apl....repeat ADMPlugin.apl...NOT ADMPlugin.api.
I ran repair several times on my Adobe Acrobat and nothing changed. I read the knowledge bases and found that the ADMPlugin.apl was causing other problems with other users also.    Since my ADMPlugin.apl file was NOT updated with the latest Acrobat update it remained dated 5/10/2007.
I went into my Acrobat Reader 9.0 directory and found the ADMPlugin.apl dated 2/27/2009 and copied it to my Acrobat Pro 8.0 directory and now everything is working fine.   I would suggest anyone research the ADMPlugin.apl problems.
The same day I solved this problem, Windows Vista updated SP3....(when will it end?) but everything is working fine for me now. Stay tuned.
From my own experience with Adobe programs and Windows.....almost everytime there is a major update, there are problems with the same programs or often their interaction with other programs. On the bright side! I learn the how's and why's of all this stuff and at least can carry on a somewhat intelligent conversation with other users. Hope this helps...good luck.
P.S. ADOBE-----perhaps you should check that ADMPlugin.apl with an "L" in the SPPlugins Folder.

My Satellite A205-S5800 Is InCompatible With Microsoft Vista Service Packs

I don't know where Toshiba gets off saying they're compatible with the Vista Service Packs when they are most certainly NOT. I have had the SAME exact problem with SP1 & SP2. I bought this paperweight at Best Buy (NEVER shop there), with Vista Home Basic, and ran into problems one month later, when I tried upgrading to SP1 (via Windows Update). It rebooted, and then refused to load. I had to reinstall everything. Again and again this happened. I took it to Best Buy, and they told me it was a faulty hard drive. Replaced, the problems reoccurred again. So, Best Buy claimed it was the Motherboard. A fresh one installed, SP1 finally worked from stand alone download. For 9 months, no problem. Then I stupidly decided to update to SP2 (via Windows Update). The SAME exact problem. Files were corrupted. Restore points vanished. Always with reinstalling to original format. I get SP2 standalone to work, and then Microsoft Update tells me I need to update with something or other. Rebooting ONCE AGAIN prevents me from loading up anything. Bets Buy now claims it's a software issue.
So, 3 different problems caused the exact same problem. Always with Windows Update, and almost always with Service Packs. This is compatibility? Toshiba sold me a lemon, a giant paper weight. I cannot upgrade it to Service Packs, and who knows which update next will frell me over. Especially since Microsoft forces updates on us from time to time. I have every right to update this laptop to the latest Service pack or other such necessary update to keep my system secure. What happens when my vulnerable machine is hijacked and zombieifed by nogoodnicks, and the police come knocking at my door? After all is said and done, and they chastise me about not updating my system, do I tell them, "No, it's OK. Toshiba says it's totally cool not to. They think Microsoft Service packs are evil"? Believe me, this situation can and has happened before. Machines can be compromised, and police will think it's you first.
Now, who at Toshiba do I speak to about a refund/replacement? I Lemon Law (via California) you, Toshiba. You sold me a worthless hunk of junk, and that is unacceptable. I will not use a system that can't be updated because you don't like Service Packs and Windows Update. and money was not spent to not use a laptop.

I think your tinfoil hat is on too tight. If it was a problem with that model, then nobldy would be able to update Windows, and there would be thousands of posts all over the Internet.
Problems are usually caused by software, sometimes installed by the user, and sometimes installed without the users knowledge. What's the state of your malware protection? Have you scanned for rootkits?
You also might want to run the System Update Readiness Tool to find problems.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Full Version and VISTA Service Pack 2

I have brought CS4 Full and recall seeing VISTA Service Pack 1 as requirement. I keep getting prompted by my computer to download and install Service Pack 2. What to do:
1. Install Photoshop on current setup (SP 1) and then upgrade to SP 2
2. Install SP 2 and then load Photoshop
Thanks for any insight.

SP2 is very stable, uses less ram, and also less hard drive space. If you have not installed CS4 yet just do the SP2 update then CS4. Don't forget to update CS4 to 11.0.1.
Also either way you want to install works. I installed SP2 with PS CS4 on the system and there were no problems running CS4 afterwards.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1

Company I work for just got some new MSDN CD & DVD's and included in the pack was the official Windows Vista Service Pack 1 DVD. Just curious if anyone else has tried it with Boot Camp and had any issues? Was considering installing it but just wanted to check the forums to see what's up.

The general public release of Vista SP1 is out today and supposedly available through Windows Update, yet it does not appear as an available update when I check for it. Microsoft says that will happen in a number of cases, one being if there are incompatible drivers installed (which Microsoft knows about presumably). I'm wondering if anyone running Vista via Boot Camp has been able to access SP1 through Windows Update. It can also be downloaded, but I don't want to try it if it's not going to work. Another problem might be that I only have around 1.75 gigabytes left on the Windows partition. Any advice appreciated.

Sync Problems After Installing Vista Service Pack 1

I just installed Vista service pack 1. Hotsync ceased to work. So, after checking Palm online help, I downloaded and installed Desktop 6.2 and Hotsync 7. The instructions said not to uninstall my previous version of Desktop 4.2 and Hotsync 6.01. After completing the installation, I find that my data had not been moved to the new location and that some Hotsync items had changed such as Quick Intall to Install. And, I still can't Hotsync. So, here's a series of questions:
How can I get my data over to Desktop 6.2?
Do I want to move the data over or should I reinstall Desktop 4.2? (I use an XP machine to print my schedule and usually simply copy the user folder from the Vista system to the XP system. There's no Vista print driver available for my hp printer.)
Is Palm trying to become Microsoft by changing where they store information to the confusion of a power user?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

The version 6.2 of Palm desktop does not support your Vx.
Click here for the support page for 6.2; http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html
The only handhelds supported are Palm TX, Z22; Tungsten E2.
You will need to install the version that is on the CD that came with the Vx. You will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop on the Vista PC in order to re-install the older version of Palm desktop.
First thing to consider is, where is the current data. On the device or in the PC?
If you have the data in Palm desktop 6.2, do an export of the data for backup. After the re-install of the older palm desktop, import the data for each category. Since you are still using the XP PC and has data on that system, you can export the data from that PC.
In Vista, the userfolder is in documents-palm os desktop. One caveat here, the data format in the 6.2 user folder is not compatible with the data format in earlier versions of Palm desktop so you cannot copy and paste the entire user folder into the older version of Palm desktop.
Here is a procedure for backing up your data.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
To do the "clean" uninstall on the Vista PC, here are the instructions.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Disregard the first step above because your data is on the XP PC and we are just going to import the data.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Vista Service Pack 1

Not sure if this is the exact place I should be posting this, but here goes anyway.
I tried searching for anyone that possibly had troubles with this SP within Boot Camp, but I had no luck (tried a couple of variations, but the search still came up with hundreds of posts containing 1's...etc.). So, has anyone had or has heard of anyone having troubles with this Service Pack in Boot Camp? I would greatly appreciate any/all/comments relating to ANYTHING problematic that I may run into by installing this SP 1 for Vista.
Edit: I'm asking this because supposedly I'm not being offered this SP through windows updates because of hardware that is supposed to have difficulty with the servie pack. But at the same time, on the Windows Vista discussion board, there are those who also were not offered the SP through Windows update, but they downloaded it and installed it manually and everything was fine.
Thank you for your time.

Ditto.
I won't even think of applying OS X updates until they are out a week anymore, with even more backups and "hand wringing" and have been (knock on wood) been satisfied with Vista's updates since it went beta nearly 18 months ago. (Applying updates and configuring seems to be done during shutdown and startup, not while the system is live and running, which has to be safer method).
