help with audio drivers

hey im having a problem with the realtek hd drivers its not being caused by the uaa problem i ruled that out just a few minutes ago i know id be able to install them if i could remove the device first but i get a message saying that it cannot be removed because it may be needed to boot ? any ideas ?

 

ok im going to give a little bit more info on this problem im having because even after 33 views noone has decied its worth helping me fix i have done EVERYTHING i can think of to slove this problem ive even reinstalled xp
to see if that would work and it hasnt it just ends up with the same problem all over again the only thing i can think of is that there might be a third party driver i could use with my audio card and another thing the card is a alc268 if that might elict some help

 

Have you tried dis-abling the UAA, before uninstalling it?

The views were probably others hoping there was a fix for you, so they could use it.

 

no i just found out about 5 minutes ago that i dont even have the uaa so im going to try and find it and see if that helps any even though everything i have read generaly refers to removing it

i had a problem like this before the last time i installed winblows xp and i cant for the life of me remember how i fixed it and thanks for any help you can offer

 

Here you go:
Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio

I'm guessing you know what you're doing, but if you can't get it solved, post an Everest report along with your PC manufacturer and Model# and we'll see if we can help.

PS. It's always a good idea to install your motherboard chipset drivers before installing the Audio just in case there is something corrupted or missing there.

 

thanks alot man i tried installing uaa but that didnt change anything so i dont think thats the problem im downloading the ac'97 drivers now to see if that will work (i made sure to get ones that supported my card ) as for my chipset drivers im pretty sure they installed when i instaled the drivers for my ati x1200 but maybe not i guess ill have to wait and see what everest tells me

 

heres the report everst generated when i ran it and also my computer is a toshiba a210-ms008c

 

Ok, I don't see your motherboard ID or PC Manufacturer/Model # listed it that report. Did you choose Hardware related pages in the Report Profile? If you didn't please upload your report with that included.

Start with these things:

Check: Speakers connected?
First step: Is the volume on?
Double click the audio icon in the task bar to get to the Master Volume controller and check ALL settings.
Second step: Is the Windows Audio service running?
Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services
Scroll down the list of services until you find Windows Audio
Open up Windows Audio by double clicking
Make sure it is running, if not, click on Start.
If the first 2 steps didn't fix the problem.
Third step: Check to see if your Sound Device drivers are OK. Use Device Manager:
To open Device Manager: Start>Control Panel> System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager, then click the plus sign in front of Sound, Video, Game Controllers.
In Device Manager, if there is a ? in front of your audio device, that means no audio driver is installed.
A ! means driver installation attempted but with problems.
Fourth step: BIOS:
As the PC starts, press one of these keys (here is a list by manufacturer) http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm
Or the right key will be posted on the very first screen. Tap it until you enter set-up, then look for your audio (it should be in Advanced) Make sure that it is set to On or Auto.
Chipset
Is the motherboard drivers installed/updated? This can also cause a problem with audio and other devices.
The chipset rivers are needed to allow the OS to correctly ID the onboard hardware. This allows the right driver to install. The chipset drivers will allow Ethernet, USB, and Audio to be installed correctly. (Thanks Halo)

Let me know what you find out and also attech the hardware report from Everest.

 

thanks anyway but ive decied to just stick with vista for now untill ive got some decent drivers written for my wifi card in linux unfortunatly there specific to the hardware lol so releaseing them would be pointless but like i said thanks for all your help
