sigmatel 9758 support needed to make audio work under Vista
getting the run around trying to get Vista driver support. Tried Signatel,
they said try laptop manufacture, they said try signatel, looked all over web, and this MS site. The laptop is a Gateway 675xl-prr with the signatel 9758 codec. When I ran advisor it indicated it would load fine and work. Tried the old drivers several times and other xp versions and every suggestion on web sites. Laptop is only 2 years old, and I plunked down 250 for an upgrade and now I have great looking system with no sound....been struggling for weeks now, does anyone know if a driver is coming out any time soon? or suggestions? Thanks |

sigmatel 9758 support needed to make audio work under Vista
I'm having the same trouble with my Sony Vaio laptop. It came with Vista
Home on it and after I upgraded to Ultimate the sound stopped working. It says no audio device installed but the SigmaTel Hi Def Audio is "device working properly" in the device manager. Sony support said today that they only recommend the Home edition and that is the only drivers they can provide. Wished I knew this before I paid and upgraded to Ultimate. |

sigmatel 9758 support needed to make audio work under Vista
I have this problem on my Dell. To fix it I went into device manager and
told it install the generic MS HD sound driver. This may be enough to make it work. On my machine I had to go one step further as the MS driver did not let the headphones jack on my laptop or dock work properly. I downloaded the Vista drivers from the Dell website and then did an install of them. The sound now works properly. "smholt" wrote in message ... I'm having the same trouble with my Sony Vaio laptop.

"sigmatel driver needed" wrote: update MS recommended the following and it worked great, used same old driver in xp compatability mode instead and it works great...all features and functions better than before! If the driver of sound card for Vista is not release, we can try install the driver(for XP) run the program in compatibility mode. Step 1.Install driver the compatibility mode. a. Right click the shortcut or the execution file, click Properties. b. Go to the Compatibility tab. c. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" d. Choose Windows XP (Service Pack 2). e. Check "Run this program as an administrator" f. Click OK. Bet this works in many other similar audio issues folks are having spread the word!... thanks MS pro William Zhao |
