Solve : Installed New Version OS Now No Audio?

Answer»

I've been working on my GF's dad's puter for over 2 weeks now. When I started this, all it needed was a DVD ROM. OK I got bits laying around, dug one out, made sure it worked, slapped it in. 2000 didn't like it, so I wiped the drive and installed XP Pro.
No audio. NONE, nothing at all.
So I fiddled with a few things, and get jack. So I found your site & I've been living here since Tuesday.
I've upgraded MP to 11. Upgraded DirectX to 10 (tho report sez 9...hm). Installed VLC to try that, been to SiS & C-Media to get latest drivers.

Was getting the No Audio Device error, but fixed that with your help (THANK YOU).
Now it sees the sound device & plays the CD but I hear nothing. I have all audio turned up to Ear Drum Transplant Required, and I hear nothing. I'm ready to throw this thing off a bridge.

Help!

~Raven Quote

been to SiS & C-Media to get latest drivers
Why, since:
Motherboard Chipset   VIA UniChrome KM266 Pro 
Audio Adapter   VIA AC'97 Enhanced Audio Controller  Because when I was scoping your site & checking the puter for info it GAVE me SiS as driver then gave me C-Media as the device.

Its on-board or I'd just yank the thing and replace it. Funds are tight though so I'm exhausting all other options.

Any ideas those options might be? I have tried literally everything, even re-installed XP.


~RavenYour chipset driver: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1070
Install chipset driver first.

The chipset driver installs fine, but the audio driver crashed the computer.
Twice. I get the blue screen of doom & the memory dump error.
I ran a repair install on the harddrive, and tried again, same result.

Any idea why installing a driver would kill the computer? Do I need to wipe the drive and start from scratch?

~Raven
did you uninstall the SiS and CMedia drivers/Software? Quote
I get the blue screen of doom & the memory dump error.
Navigate to: C:\Windows\Minidump folder.
If you see any .dmp files, zip all of them, and attach zipped file to your next reply.
.dmp files attached. Thanks much

[attachment deleted by admin]All three latest errors come from sysaudio.sys file (System Audio WDM Filter).
Let's see, if your system files are OK.

Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in VISTA), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy.
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD.
If sfc won't find any errors in Windows XP, it'll simply quit, without any message.
