Actually the E520 IS NOT listed in this update, the E521 is...I don't know
if it works on the E520 but since the 520 is an Intel processor & the 521 an AMD, there could be a difference and, since I have mentioned before the remove/reinstall route worked for my install (E520) I am no going to mess with it further.

Hi JustBob30 and Robinb.
IDT, who now owns Sigmatel audio devices, has been producing new Vista SP1 compatible audio drivers to PC manufacturers like Dell/Gateway/HP/Sony. IDT/Sigmatel 92xx Audio driver version 6.10.5713.1 (D20361-001-001.exe) released 4/24/2008: http://support.gateway.com/support/d...&uid=198167531 [for Gateway computers only] Sigmatel STAC 92xx Audio driver version 6.10.5866.0 (SIGMATEL_STAC-92XX-C-Major-H_A06_R182475.exe) posted 5/19/2008: http://support.us.dell.com/support/d...&fileid=248965 [for Dell desktop computers only] IDT ID92HD71B7 Audio Driver version 6.10.5929.0 (sp39330.exe) posted 5/06/2008: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN [for HP computers only] Before you install any of these updated IDT/Sigmatel Audio drivers, check if your "Hardware ID" number of your IDT/Sigmatel HD Audio device is listed in the STWRT.INF and STWRT.INI files. You can obtain the HWID information of the IDT/Sigmatel audio hardware by opening the Device Manager window (Click on "Device Manager" from Vista's "System" control panel app under Tasks), expand the "Sound, video and game controllers" section, double-click on "Sigmatel High Definition Audio Codec" or "IDT High Definition Audio Codec" to view its Properties, click on the Details tab and change the Property that says "Device description" to "Hardware IDs". then check if the "hardware id" is listed in the newer STWRT.INF and STWRT.INI files to ensure the IDT/Sigmatel driver files get updated with no loss of audio in Vista SP1. examples of certain IDT/Sigmatel HD Audio hardware ID numbers: hdaudio\func_01&ven_8384&dev_7680&subsys_107b6051 hdaudio\func_01&ven_8384&dev_7618&subsys_80863003 And Microsoft has made changes to the Windows Update "blockers" for Sigmatel audio drivers mentioned he http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/...9795&SiteID=17 "Robinb" wrote: i found these for Gateway computers take a look http://support.gateway.com/support/d... uid=190778932 robin |
