Any info would be appreciated

[animefreak]

have you tried reinstalling the drivers?

[slyck1]

I tried but the installer says failure every time, even in safe mode.

[animefreak]

i believe that i have had a VERY SIMILAR problem ... this is what i did

CONTROL PANNEL >> ADD HARDWARE

go through with it >yes i have already connected the hardware

now it MAY have a yellow question mark beside it .. and then install it automatically

try installing everything with audio in the name ...
this may take like half an hour cause there were ALOT if things i had to install

i hope this helps ...

email me to tell me the results

Thank you, that fixed the problem. I went to add hardware>search for recently installed hardware>multimedia audio> then when it asks to for the drivers specify the location where the drivers are downloaded and that was it.

Thanks again
