    hi ! i do not hear sounds from my computer , and i found out that there is no audio drive installed in our pc.

    my motherboard is asus P5VD2-VM-SE and my CPU is Intel(r) core duo CPU, 2.20 GHZ, E4500 and 1.00GB of RAM. microsoft windows XP

    ive installed realtek , and when i looked at my device manager, there is a yellow exclamation point mark on the "Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definiton Audio - Realtek 880.660." ive tried to update my driver, and when windows installs it by itself, it finds koslay.ax (?) then it says, there is a problem installing bla bla bla.

    and when i click on the microsoft uaa function driver for high definition audio-realtek, it says, code 10.

    help anyone please? i awnna hear sounds now T_T


    and oh, i download that realtek from asus website...

    :wave Welcome to Major Geeks! :major

    Unless you spelled it wrong, I think that "koslay.ax" may be malware. If it was any type of real/legitimate file, I would have found something about it with a Google search. For now, I'd strongly recommend that you check out this guide and start looking for and removing any malware. Once we know if the system is clean, we can then get the audio working. Many newer viruses are installed as fake audio or video codecs or ActiveX components, and I think that's what we have here judging from the ".ax" extension....

    :confused Strange. Try uninstalling the sound driver from the Add/Remove Programs list in your Control Panel. Restart the PC and cancel the Hardware Wizard when it opens. Download KB888111 (the Microsoft hidef audio update) from this direct link and install it. Then install the sound driver you downloaded from Asus, but DO NOT run the setup EXE file. Install the driver by using the Hardware Wizard in the Device Manager; follow the steps outlined in this thread and restart the PC when the install has finished. If you have service pack 3 for Windows installed, KB888111 may not install correctly. You'll need to follow the steps in this thread to temporarily "trick" Windows into thinking you have service pack 2 installed.

    :confused Very strange... I use the Realtek HD audio driver too for my motherboard. I just checked the System32 folder and I do NOT have the ksolay.ax file. Try using the 'generic' RealTek HD driver from this link and install it using the Hardware Wizard method I described earlier (you'll need to extract the downloaded file first using TUGzip. TUGzip can extract RAR files, ZIP files, 7zip files, many EXE files, and just about any archive or self-extracting archive you're likely to encounter. When installing TUGzip just click 'Next' all the way through. At the end of the install, there will be a little check-box for "Launch TUGzip"; go ahead and launch it; click "Next" all the way through again until you see a "Finish" button; there will be a column on the left side with a bunch of different archive formats; click the "Select All" button; click "Finish". A window will open that looks like an Explorer-type window, close it. Right click the file you downloaded (the file you want to extract) and click the 2nd upward pointing green arrow, it will say something like "Extract to: .\filename" and the file will extract to a folder of the same name.)
    Good luck!

    I too was getting the error about ksolay.ax; mine was for a stick I took from a JENSEN iPod dock--that runs rechargeable wireless speakers--through a USB stick, that works on computers too. I got it to work the first time perfectly and it installed as a SYNIC Audio Device, and finally USB Audio device. (USB STICK, made in China) However, I crashed iTunes and could not get it to work after that.

    Well, I started getting the ksolay.ax error. Nothing worked until I read dIb's post

    The instructions from dlb really worked. The only change was that I could not use the micros0ft download link, so I used kb888111xpsp2.exe - Google and found a current micros0ft link, downloaded their hd audio update, used TugZip and then I found the kb888111xpsp2.exe packed deeper within an EN, etc. folder, and I TugZip'd that too.

    I then set the SP3 to SP2 in regedit, rebooted and it all worked; I then installed the driver by update driver, and it installed my USB Audio Device.

    Too bad in the next few months of 2014 there will no longer be support for XP, but the way I got the service pack was Micros0ft sent me a download link by email and then I downloaded their multilanguage file with zip in the name and an .exe extension. I TugZip'd that and then I searched for the right exe inside that I also TugZip'd.

    If XP is no longer supported does that mean anyone can host update files in the future?
