    Hello, I am having a problem with my audio driver. My sound is not working after a system restore(or reformat...) and i do not know how to fix it.Sounds and Audio Devices its says under Volume: No Audio Device, and under hardware it says :
    -TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552D
    - Creative SB Live! Series( This device is working properly)Note: I dl'd this trying to fix the issue, but it didnt do anything. Location: PCI Slot 1
    -Creative Game Port(This device is working properly)Location: PCI Slot 1
    -Audio Codecs(This device is working Properly)Location: Unknown
    -Legacy Audio Drivers(This device is working properly)Location: Unknown
    -Media Control Devices(This device is working properly)Location: Unknown
    -Legacy Video Capture Devices(This device is working properly)Location: Unknown
    -Video Codecs(This device is working properly)Location: Uknown
    -Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver(A driver (service) for this device has been disabled, An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32) Location: Location 0

    There is an yellow exclamation point next to Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver. When I click on the exclamation point, the following message is under Device Status:

    "A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)"

    My Computer is a Gateway GT5064 Personal Computer. It came with a sound card, but i disabled years ago to put in this one: Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital MODEL : SB0220

    I had this problem before, and i fixed it somehow(I forget how)

    But as a side note, Ive lost the Disc for this SB Live Card, and I cant find any drivers except the one I explained at the top^ And it didnt do anything( I Assume its not the correct driver)

    Ive tried disabling Legacy audio, enabling it. Disabling SB Live Series driver(the one i found online) then enabling it, uninstall/reinstall. Nothing seems to work. If anyone could help me or provide me with the correct drivers, and information on what to enable and disable I would really appreciate it, Thanks alot.

    And im running Windows XP

    :confused

    Hi

    Sadly some threads slip by :(


    But do install the Intel Chipset driver from Gateway here, then reboot

    Then install the Audio driver from Creative here (the SB220s are OEM bulk cards, so if nto got the driver CD still try the Dell listed one)


    Also mention what items you have in Device Manager that have yellow ! marks by them.

    What Service Pack is your XP at?

    Thank you for the reply, but after I posted this message my computer just got worse, and worse. So I put it aside for now(to fix later) and bought a new one. Thanks for the help though, Ive saved this reply in favourites :)
