No sound after installing windows xp professi [Solved/Closed]

If you have Windows xp and service pack 3 and are experiencing difficulties with having no sound after a fresh installation,try this,it works

1) Open Regedit and go to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\CDSVersion

2) Double-click CDSVersion and change it to 200, then restart your system.

100 (hex) means its sp1
200 (hex) means its sp2
300 (hex) means its sp3


3) Install kb888111xp2.exe (Microsoft UAA Patch which should be available from your Audio driver folder)
4) Install audio driver
5) Change CSDVersion back to 300 (remember this or else you system will think it's still SP2 and many SP2 updates may reemerge in your Windows Update, that's my logical guess anyway :mrgreen: )
6) Restart your system


Hope this helps you all

I install windows Xp Service pack 3 i got sound driver problem plz tell me how i can install driver i dont have driver tell me where i can download this driver Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller - 2445

i stumbled on a fix for my sound problem win xp pro sp2. when i look at drivers via 'start', 'control panel', 'performance and maintenance', 'system', 'hardware', 'device manager', and then details of drivers installed, it states they exist and are working properly. for some reason by accessing same information via 'start', right click 'my computer', 'manage', 'device manager' then look at drivers for 'sound video and game controllers' it has the big yellow question mark beside it, like they dont exist! by right clicking on each device you can update any driver missing. even although my installation of win xp failed to install originally, this time it loaded them correctly. spent alot of time messing about tryin to fix this, hope someone can solve the same problem by this advice

My computer no sound when i reinstall windows XP Professional SevicePack 2.
What should i do ?
Could u tell me ?

Thank u !

When your computer has a conflict between SP3 and Realtek HD audio driver, right-click My Computer, select Properties, click Hardware tab and click Device Manager, double-click to extent Sound, video and game controllers, you will see there is a black exclamation mark in a yellow circle beside Realtek High Definition Audio. Try to reinstall drivers several times, but fail.

This problem would only possibly happen to Realtek High Definition audio users, and Realtek ac97 audio users would never come across such an issue. You can troubleshoot this conflict by modifying SP3 to SP2, specific instructions as follows:

Step 1 Click Start and then select run.

Step 2 Type "regedit" to open Registry Editor, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Windows, find out the DWORD value CSDVerision.

If the hex value is 100, the algorism value is 256, this system version is Service Pack 1 (SP1); if hex value is 200, algorism value is 512, this system version is Service Pack 2 (SP2); if hex value is 300, algorism value is 768, this system version is Service Pack 3 (SP3).

Step 3 Now you need to change the hex value to 200 and restart your computer, thereby the system version would roll to SP2.

Step 4 Now your version is sp2.Reinstall the driver.

Finally the conflict between SP3 and your Realtek HD audio
driver disappears.

U need to install drivers in ur pc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

hi jrinlouisiana,first,before you install it was there such problem???if no therefore this mean that you need to check your cables well and if it persist this means that need to re-install your sound card program...hope that this will work...see ya

i've had this prob a coupla times. found i had to install ms uaa bus driver to make the sound work again. sad, how would anyone know this!
cheers pat

i got same ploblem with u..but now my pc ok liao...put ur window cd at ur cd-room..go device manage..choice multimedia sound device..then delete..after delete go control panel found add new hardware..then in install..i no sure will working..but my pc is like this ok de...if cant then take go shop repair XP...

the main problem is with the Realtek HD audio driver that is being offered as an audio driver update. DO NOT get this software update as it conflicts with some components of the system.

U have to download the driver(s) of ur audio card, then install it.

Tell the brand and the model of ur computer. Or of ur MB if ur computer is a no-brand one.

How I solved Realtek High Definition Audio driver problem.
I have Acer Aspire 5720z. Recently I downgraded my Windows Vista to Windows XP Professional SP3.

There was no sound. As you may experience it yourself, I had problems installing Realtek High Definition Audio driver. After reading forums and trying things for 8 hours (with breaks) I did the following, which WORKED:

1. Install Windows XP SP2 (format the disk with XP SP3 in the beginning of installing XP SP2)
2. I tried to install the Realtek HD Audio driver for XP taken from here http://www.realtek.com.tw/...
I got ‘install realtek hd audio driver failure …227’
3. Uninstall Realtek from the 'Add or Remove Programs'.
4. Disable the Microsoft UAA Bus driver for Hihg Definition Audio (In the Device Manager, System Devices)
5. Uninstall the Microsoft UAA Bus driver for Hihg Definition Audio (same place)
6. Restart the computer.
7. Install the Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for Hihg Definition Audio taken from http://drivers.softpedia.com/...
8. Restart the computer.
9. After the restart Windows says 'found new hardware' - HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP #2.
10. Unpack kb888111xpsp2 (taken from motherboard_driver_audio_realtek_azalia file downloaded in step 7) into a specific folder.
11. Direct 'Found New Hardware' wizard to the folder where kb888111xpsp2 is unpacked. It asked me for the Driver CD. The driver for the new hardware is installed (I don’t know from where: either from the folder or from the CD, but don’t care much now)
12. Check the sound - IT WORKS!!!
13. Install SP3. Check the sound - IT WORKS!!!

Remarks:
1. One of the K-lite codecs was installed at some step.
2. At the end I was not asked for the Realtek HD Audio driver. So Windows used the driver either from step 2 of the driver from the Driver CD.
3. kb888111xpsp2.exe was actually clicked somewhere
4. Possibly there is a more optimal combination of the above steps

Success to all of you how are about to solve the same problem. I just have joined a postdoc at one Uni before even finishing my PhD at another one (still the thesis has to be finished, printed and defended). So I have to work at both Unis at the same time. As you may imagine I don’t have much time now to study how to install stuff and tune hardware, etc. My computers just must work in this period of my life. Therefore, GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FORUMS. This let me solve the problem. Cheers
