Discouraged--Sound Patches do it again!

Hay everyone, after having to reinstall everything, Microsoft has done it
again! I even checked all the updates to make sure the sound ones were not
included! Alas! They were!! Can you please help me find the patch to end all
patches? To get my sound back up and going again?
Discouraging!!

Not so sure this is a Microsoft issue unless you have one of the older
Microsoft sound cards that you need drivers for?

Did you install the driver for your sound card *from the sound card
manufacturer's support web site*?
If not - do that now.

Do not rely on Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) for
hardware drivers. Always go to those who created and actually support the
product in question for the best support on that product for any Operating
System.

Thank you....There was a patch, actually two patches that messed up the
sound from Microsoft, then there was a patch to fix it and I can't find the
page that says that! Thank you so much for you help, that makes perfect sense.

Hello there,
What makes perfect sence is:

For starters is giving good indepht information, like which os you are
running and which sound card is disabeled and what patch did you use, only
than you can excpect some to provide you with some usefull assistance.

Even an MVP like Shenan trying to help you out is not clear sighted

So I think thank you for trying to help out would be a lot nicer than te
remarks you are giving him

Best regards,
Michel Denie

Ok...hmmm...more info huh? I don't know, first I might need more info from
you nice people! :-) OS= Operating System? Windows XP Media Center PC from
HP, it has the normal harddrive called C: and then a storage drive basically
callded D: and then the recovery drive called E. Sound card...hmm.....well
all I know is that this has happened twice and HP sent me straight back to
Microsoft. I believe the sound comes from Realtek, but not sure. Let me
know if that is what you are or aren't looking for? This computer is only 1
year old in January, it's awesome when it works the way it should! :-) I
have Outlook 2003 for email and IE 7 for browser. Right now Comcast is
having problems with the smtp should I not get back to you for some reason,
receiving is no problem so it shouldn't matter.
Thanks for all the help guys and gals! I don't feel well so it really helps
to have friends at Microsoft! LOL! Huggles-Beauty(<--as in SleepingBeauty)

Hello,



Knowing which sound you have in your system is a pre.



Your manual should tell so.



Updating non Microsoft drivers at Microsoft is an absolute no; updating
should only be done when really needed so if the hardware is not working
properly.



In other words: if it ain't broke do not try to "FIX" it.



If you need to update a driver go to the manufacturers website for an
updated driver.



Further on it is advised to make backups on a regular basis.



System restore, booting last known good configuration or rolling back on the
driver might solve the problem if no backup has been made with imaging
software or by use of a reorn card or simulair..



If your soundcard is Realtek based you can find the drivers here
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/



Best regards,

Michel Denie

Ok, I get what your saying, but the last time this happened I went to the
Realtek Website and updated that driver and guess what? It didn't help. The
only thing I know worked was when I removed it and then reinstalled it from
the HP Application Recovery thingie we have so we don't have to reinstall
everything to an earlier restore or from ground zero.
If we aren't to update from Microsoft, then why in the heck did they say not
to diable the automatic update for security reasons in the first place?
Sheesh! When I find out about sound card I'll let you know. I need to call
HP tomorrow if I can get someone in America to talk to me! And, not
disconnect me after telling me they wouldn't! LOL! (yesterday)
It depends on how I feel tomorrow, today was really a pain and I slept alot
from the narcolepsy. If you think of anything before in the morning (EST
time, it's now 7:39 pm EST) let me know, otherwise I'll get back to you with
the sound card info after I go to device manager. :-)

Hi there,

Driver updates are optional updates, so you have the option to take it or
leave it.

You should always check what updates you take in

So choose a custom install and see what is being offered and what might be
usefull, my advise is to take one at a time so if anything goes wrong you
know which update caused it.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

Dear realcestmoi!!
You are going to laugh histerically at my discovery last night when I
finally was able to hear my wonderful Windows Media Player. First I
uninstalled the Realtek Driver and then reinstalled it, and got all the
settings in place and it still wasn't working, but when I clicked the Volume
button on my keyboard to turn it up, it showed that the volume was half way,
so I went to turn up my speakers and guess what!!! Someone who was irritated
by my screensaver playing Christmas music and they had turned my speakers
off!!! ROFTL!!! It was my wonderful 18 year old son!!! I let out a big
wooooooooooowhooooooooooooooo!!! And have been enjoying Christmas music
every since!!!
I want to thank you for your sincere efforts to help me and the kindness you
and everyone else have shown me during this painstaking process of "someone
pulling the wool over my eyes and me not knowing!! LOL"
Sincerely though, you all have been wonderful especially you my friend. I'm
sure I'll be back one day, hopefully for not the same reason and I'll
probably be in another forum!
God's Blessings to you during this Christmas season!
Beauty
