Z60T Audio drivers won't install.

I have spent at least 10 hours on this problem, searched the net, searched forums, re-installed Windows a second time after formatting a second time, to no avail.  I have no sound, and Device Manager says the following Drivers are not installed:
Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus
Biometric Coprocessor
Unknown Device
I don't care about Unknown and Biometric Coprocessor, I think they are fingerprint reader related.  
But I DO care about having sound, and I'm about to lose my ever loving mind on this.
Here's what happened:
We bought this laptop used on Craigslist.  I formatted the hard drive, including the ThinkVantage partition, and installed XP Professional SP2.  I went to the IBM site to download drivers, and that's when all this heppened.  
I installed the Q888111 patch before installing the drivers. 
When I installed the drivers, the Soundmax screen came up, and then just sat there, nothing more happened. 
I then had to force a reboot, and Soundmax showed up in Programs, but when I tried to play a file in WMP 11, it said there was no audio device installed.
Soundmax showed up in Add/Remove programs, but would not respond to being removed so I could try to reinstall.  I had to manually remove it and run RegCleaner to get rid of it.
I'm beginning to think my sound device is broken...I have NEVER had this much trouble with a  driver before.
Another symptom is constant freeze up.  I know I need more RAM, but 512 should be enough to at least run installation.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

  • No audio, after factory reset,flash install,SoundMax & HDA audio drivers won't install

    My problems are:
    No sound with Youtube or the laptop itself
    SoundMax won't install either though I downloaded HDA audio drivers it requested.
    Flash download stuffed up my SoundMax after factory reset.
    I decided to do a factory reset after Youtube starting slowing down. After reset it (Youtube) kind of worked better
    then the audio disappeared from the laptop. The drivers, SoundMax Audio was gone (greyed out).
    I downloaded the Audio driver from Lenovo website for my X31 but SoundMax install wouldn't install because it kept saying HDA Audio drivers weren't installed.
    I downloaded it from here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT072373
    So I went to HP site to download HDA audio drivers, then the SoundMax Audio reappeared and I had sound on my computer.
    HDA Audio drivers link at HP website (since Lenovo doesn't have it):
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?cc=US&lang=en&swItem...
    When I downloaded latest Adobe Flash, the SoundMax Audio disappeared again. So at the moment I have Youtube video without sound (and Firefox keeps telling me to download Flash?)
    No sound on IE as well.
    Would appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
    I'm using:
    ThinkPad X31 (2673-QU6)
    Based on 2673-N7G
    Win XP Pro Service 3 with recent updates
    Firefox (latest) with add-ons
    Solved!

    You need to install the modem driver too.

  • K9A Platinum audio drivers won't install

    I am trying to install the audio drivers for my K9A Platinum off of the cd that came with it and it gets about halfway through and the it says "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !!" Does anyone know what I could do?

    Well, check all things already mentioned...
    - Bios: onboard sound enabled?
    - clean Windows install;
    - also, you can try the native drivers (not from MSI-website, but from Realtek's)
    @Fredrik: I'm not going to spend time trying to understand Windows. XP is pretty good, but it still can be as stupid as possible... No use digging up the causes, there are too many possibilities that can cause the problems. Also, keep in mind that far most of the people don't get these problems. It looks like everyone has this problem, but that is because this is a tech support forum... people don't get in here to tell us that soemthing is working all right.

  • The drivers won't install

    The drivers won't install>Hi
    I have a very old MP3 player which I recently started using again. It is around 5 or 6 years old and I think the model name is just Creative ZEN. The model number is DAP-HD005.
    Following a hardware failure on my old PC a couple of months ago, I have recently got? a new PC, which runs on Windows 7 (64 bit). The old PC was about 5 years old and ran Windows XP. I have just tried to installm the software that came with the product on the installation disc but it won't load. I have also tried to find anything on theCreative site that will help, but nothing I have downloaded has so far solved the problem. I understand that the player is so old it is unlikely to be supported, but I wondered if there is some generic software that I have missed that I can install which will allow my PC to recognise the player.
    Failing this, is gthere a way to make the player work with a Macbook? I tried to install the software on my wife's Macbook, but it wouldn't even try to run.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    You should be able to use compatabilty mode for XP to install this [url="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=00098">driver[/url]. It may freeze during the install & not progress but if it does & it lasts longer than 0mins exit it & reboot anyway. Then connect the player. Others have used this method & have been using their older players. I used this method on my Vista comp to install an older nomad player. Download the driver rightclick on the driver choose properties>compatabilty>Xp>then Ok. Then run the file & follow the instructions.

  • Satellite L875D-S7230 Sound problems / drivers won't install

    I've run a PC tech support service for over 10 years so I've tried all the standard fixes to no avail.
    Main problem was after I started using my laptop with an HDMI cable to a projector -- the audio and video worked fine via HDMI, but when I disconnected the HDMI cable the laptop had no audio, and had a red x on the audio symbol in the system tray. Device manager only showed AMD High Definition Audio Device.  Under Playback devices via the Sound icon (yes Disabled and Disconnected Devices are both checked) it only shows the AMD High Def device.  When I reconnect the HDMI, the audio works fine.  Once I thought that not properly "ejecting" the HDMI cable could be the problem, so I used Windows + P to show the Projector menu and selected Computer Only to disconnect the HDMI and then removed the cable and then the laptop audio worked, but that happened several weeks ago, and now after using HDMI again, it's back to no audio.  I've reinstalled  the HDMI audio, but in trying to reinstall the Realtek Audio Drivers shown on the Support page for my model, they won't install - they extract and then when I click to install, the install stops with no error warning, etc. The same with the AMD Display driver (which is supposed to contain the chipset drivers).    I've been through this two hours troubleshooting process twice over the past 6 months and I am done.  Any suggestions are appreciated.  Here's the support page:

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting! I understand you are having some issues re-installing the software for your HP LaserJet Pro M177fw Printer. I'd like to help you with this. First, I would recommend checking your programs to make sure there isn't anything listed for the LaserJet that wasn't uninstalled: Swipe inwards from the right hand side of the desktop (or press Win key + C on the keyboard). The charms bar will pop up on the right hand side of the screen.Select Settings, then Control Panel.Select Programs, then Uninstall a program.Check the list for any software indicating the printer model (select the software and click uninstall if necessary).You'll also want to make sure you have removed all instances of the printer from your devices and printers folder: Follow steps 1 and 2 above to open the Control Panel.Under Hardware and Sound, select Devices and Printers.If you see any icons for your printer, right click and select delete (or remove device).Now let's do a cleanboot of your computer (to make sure another program that is running is not interfering with your installation). You can find the steps to perform a clean boot in this Microsoft document - How to perform a clean boot in Windows Once all of this is complete, run the software install again. Please respond to let me know if we have resolved the issue!Good luck.

  • Compaq Mini 110c-1001NR Sound Drivers won't install

    I am fixing a Compaq Mini 110c-1001NR for a friend. They reinstalled XP on it, so I had to install wireless internet drivers for them. I then realized the sound doesn't work. I downloaded the drivers from HP's website (yes they are the right ones!), but half way through the install, it said it couldn't find any compatible hardware. I don't know what is wrong. That laptop has windows XP on it, so it should be compatible, right?
    Please help asap. Thanks.

  • Boot Camp drivers won't install correctly.

    Greetings. Recently I formatted the XP partition on my Mac, in order to do a clean installation of windows. I did everything as explained in the guide, using the Boot Camp assistant and so forth. After the installation completed, I inserted my Leopard DVD and installed the appropriate drivers. Although the message declared that everything went smoothly, the only thing I could find that was installed correctly were only the audio drivers - no video drivers, no ethernet, wireless, nothing else. I repeated the whole process (including reinstalling XP) with the same results. Any suggestions?

    You will need to reinstall Windows and use the boot camp drivers that came with your machine. Do not use previous boot camp drivers or the boot camp drivers on the Leopard disk. I made the same mistake with my MacBook Pro, I installed boot camp drivers first from a CD copy, them from Leopard and had the same issues as yourself. Then I installed boot camp from the MacBook Pro DVD that came with the MBP and most of it installed. However, not all was working properly. I wiped the boot camp p[artition and reinstalled XP and used the boot camp drivers that came with the MBP and everything worked smoothly. I think the boot camp drivers are specific to a machine, at least in the case of this MBP.

  • Bootcamp drivers won't install

    After installing Windows XP Home SP2, I insert the Leopard DVD to install the Boot Camp drivers. The installation begins and gets to the Broadcom network drivers, then I get a windows bluescreen for a second and the computer restarts. There are no wireless drivers or anything else installed. I tried downloading the BC2.1 drivers (.exe, but that will not run at all. I have re-installed Windows, but this does not fix the problem. The BC drivers simply won't install and crashes windows.

    Hello...well, this might have worked for you guys, but not me.
    The Bootcamp manual simply says that upon restarting, "just follow the Found New Hardware Wizard" and it's all set.
    Well, the Hardware Wizard never appeared. Tried everything over again and still nothing.
    I know you say to use the OS disc that came with my machine (a Macbook Pro), but I have been. Otherwise, I of course wouldn't have been able to install Bootcamp.
    So, I've gone through the Bootcamp installation (after the windows installation) twice now, and everything seemed to go fine (meaning the wireless network is operational, and all other utilities that should be linking up with the OS X side of the computer), but on that previously mentioned restart (Step 3, Point #4, on Page 12 of the Bootcamp instructions PDF), the Hardware Wizard STILL doesn't come up....and yes, the disc is in the drive.
    Anyone else have this problem? Is there any other way to make these drivers work? I, too, cannot stand the big fat blurry text/windows on the screen!
    Thanks!

  • Satellite 2400-S251: XP audio drivers cannot be installed

    i have a Satellite 2400-S251 and i just upgraded to Windows XP and now i have no sound.
    I looked in my device manager and i don't see drivers but i see 4 different audio codecs.
    I downloaded sound drivers from Toshiba's website (s240sndx.exe) to be exact. and it begins the installation but just when you think its almost done it just stops and says "driver not installed".
    Does anyone have a solution for me?
    Is it possible to manually place the INF files from the (s240sndx.exe) that I extracted to my C drive someplace. If yes then where?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    yes i presume it was a US download. i went to the page you gave me a link for and i downloaded the audio drivers. the same drivers to be exact and i have the same problem when i try to install. "audio drivers not installed". i went into control panel (sounds and audio devices) and it says at the top "no audio device" therefor i cant even turn anything up. nothing works. also in my device manager i don't have the yellow exclamation point next to sound/audio people normally get when something is not right. the audio codecs that are there say they are working properly. if there is any other questions feel free to ask i will help any way i can.

  • Windows Boot camp drivers won't install

    So I'm trying to put windows on my mac again, for the fifth time since windows won't let me activate it anymore. Everything goes fine and it installs and I put the Mac os x install disc 1 in to install the drivers. It loads up and goes through the process of installing the drivers. Once its down it asks me to restart the computer which I do. Once I get in however, none of the drivers are installed like nothing ever happened. I can tell because I can't get internet and the trackpad won't work properly. The boot camp faq shows up and another window to update something shows up but it need the internet to work. I go and try to repair the drivers and it runs its course, restarts and still nothing! No drivers. I've tried deleting the drivers and reinstalling them, removing the partition and reinstalling but nothing is working. I've gotten the drivers just fine before but now they just won't install. I've updated my mac from 10.6.4 to 10.6.7 so can that be the problem? Its the only thing I did different.

    I'm at my office at the moment and I don't have the disc to view. Tell me, have you found the drivers folder? You can select any driver and it should automatically open boot camp and install all "Apple Drivers" while in windows mode. Then after installing bootcamp, you can install Apple updater. I'm adding more than I should because I don't know how far along you are- if you look around the clock area in windows, you should see a boot camp icon; is it there?
    Send me a screen shot with your disc open and I can maybe help you from there. [email protected] Otherwise, I will look at the direct path this evening and post the info here.

  • My dazzle drivers won't install

    I have a Dazzle DVC 100 and it plugs in and the laptop (HP Pavillion TouchSmart, Windows 8) scans it fine. However when i try and update the drivers it won't install even though i have the right drivers downloaded! When i try to install the drivers by

    Hi,
    What is the detailed error message? And anything valuable recorded in the event?
    You can first try:
    Temporarily turn off security software.
    Re-download the driver, install again.
    If fail again, Install the driver in safe mode:
    Start your computer in safe mode
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
    And just as ZigZag3143x said, it is also recommended to contact pinnacle support.

  • Canon MF4890 Drivers Won't Install On Mac Running Mavericks

    I just purchased an MF4890.  I use a Macbook Pro running Mavericks.  The disk that came with the printer doesn't support Mavericks and when I download the drivers from the Canon website, they won't install.  If I keep the driver image on my Mac desktop, the printer will print for a time -- but then it no longer sees the printer.  This isn't normal.  I should be able to eject the disk image (as in every other application), and the app/drivers should be installed on my mac.  When I as much as created a folder on my desktop and moved the disk images into the folder (print/fax/scan), the mac no longer sees the printer (wireless).
    Help!  Does this printer support Mavericks?

    Hi BonnieBoop.
    The imageCLASS MF4890dw does support printing on the OS X Mavericks operating system.  You should be able to open on the Mac_MF_Ver1010_00.dmg file and run the installer package.  The icon looks like an open brown box.  Next just follow the steps to install the driver.
    If you are not able to see this information or if the setup does not allow you to save the information, we recommend that you contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) and a live technical support representative will be glad to assist you.
    Have a good day.

  • [nForce] Drivers Won't Install

    I have a K7N2 Delta2 motherboard.  It has a NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset.  I am trying to install the drivers for these integrated components:
    NVIDIA nForce2 AGP Host to PCI Bridge
    NVIDIA nForce2 Memory Controller
    NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 Memory Controller
    NVIDIA MCP2S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6)
    NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management
    I also had problems installing the Ethernet drivers, but they installed successfully recently.  I am trying to install the latest 5.10 nForce2 drivers.  On all the components above, I get the following error message.
    An error occured during the installation of this device
    Access is denied.
    I am logged in as a member of the Administrators group.  I also tried it as Administrator.  I cannot get these drivers to install.  Any ideas?
    My computer specs:
    AMD Athlon 1200Mhz
    K7N2 Delta2 motherboard with the latest BIOS flash (W6570NMS V11.5)
    Kingston ValueRam 512MB 400Mhz CL3
    NVIDIA GeForce2 Pro AGP video card (don't remember what brand, maybe MSI)
    Windows XP Professional with SP2 downloaded and installed
    anything else needed?

    OK, I booted into safe mode, removed the old VIA drivers from the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, and then saw that the nForce2 drivers from a previous install were in Add & Remove Programs.  I believe that to be my entire problem.  So I uninstalled all NVIDIA drivers.  Rebooted into Safe Mode.  Installed all the 5.10 drivers with success, excluding the sound driver cuz I don't need it.  Rebooted.  Windows hangs during loading screen.  Reset, then I hit F8 and choose Last Known Good Configuration.  Remove all NVIDIA drivers again.  Reboot into Safe Mode.  Install one driver at a time and reboot inbetween.  System hangs because of the IDE driver.  So, choose Last Known Good Configuration again, uninstall all NVIDIA drivers, reboot to Safe Mode, reinstall all drivers but IDE, then boot Windows normally.  Needed to install display driver, as I have a NVIDIA card.  Did that, disabled nwiz and NvMcTray in msconfig as I always do.  Reboot.  My SYSTEM registry hive is corrupted.  So after wiping Linux (which I never use anyway cuz my modem is not Linux compatible) off my other drive and installing Windows and the Internet on it, I found out how to take the registry from a previous Restore Point and copy it to the config folder.  Did that, booted to that drive, had to uninstall and reinstall all NVIDIA drivers again, but it works now.  I don't have tons of System devices like you Fredrik, but I do have 3 Motherboard resources, which is weird.  Whatever.  Thanks for all your help, guys
