Problem with sound card and xp

[Jerry98vert]

It seems like an easy problem to fix here it goes.

I have a "Sound Blaster Audigy" mp3 sound card and there is this thing that pop's up at start up called a "splash screen" just a log and sound no big thing and now I won't come up at start up any more.

I called tech support and they went thru stuff, but in the end they said most likely the registry is corrupted and they said they can't help me to go to regedit to fix this problem.

Man I don't want to reformat my computer because of a start up thing. I have uninstalled the program and changed the directory name to see if I can't fix it that way. Also did a clean sweep of the program. Nothing.

If someone can think of something maybe I haven't tried. Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for help with my audio device. The motherboard is ECS P4M900T-M V1.0 running Win XP. It got VIA HD Audio device. I tried to install driver from CD came with the motherboard and also downloaded from ECS website, but when it got to installing driver, it gave an error msg: "We can't find audio device." The only device I got added is the USB wireless card (D-Link) so I can connect to the internet. No other PCI cards/devices were added.

ECS provided very poor support.

Please help.

Thanks.

Realtek HD driver is here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs

Download the (Executable file) save to desktop, double click downloaded file on desktop to install

The site is slow

I Appreciate the reply.

I did that but got an error in when the .exe was trying to install. What's weird is that when I go to Control Panel/Sound and Audio Devices/Hardware tab and click properties and expand the Audio item Windows gives me a conflict (The computer is at my father-in-laws and not here now so I cannot elaborate) but when I click on 'properties' for the Audio option, it states that under status that the driver is installed but not enabled...

I've read elsewhere about KB888111 but don't know whether it shouldn't be installed or SHOULD be installed

The KB888111 is incorporated in the Realtek download, have you checked the BIOS to see if the audio is Enabled
