No Audio Output Device Installed
So, I have read the majority of these questions posted..and I have also the
same problem. I did a clean install of Vista and I have an Analog Devices SoundMAX soundcard I believe.. I have been through the dell website as well as softpedia.com. I did find some drivers but none are for my system. I have a Dell Dimension 4700C. I have tried everything! I have tried going to the Device Manager..and I have tried the Driver Reset Tool. Nothing helps. I tried to update it through Windows Update as well and it will not give me an update. Can anyone help me please? I 'd really really really appreciate it!

Jenny,
The following site has a link to SoundMax drivers for Vista: http://neosmart.net/blog/2006/vista-sound-drivers/ Post back on whether this does anything. People like to know. -- freddy "Jenny" wrote: So, I have read the majority of these questions posted..and I have also the same problem.

Jenny,
I just noticed that my previous post links to digital drivers, but you have analog. I found this other post for installing analog: 1. Go To: Device Manage - Sound, Video And Game Controllers 2. "Update Driver" 3. "Browse My Computer For Driver Software" 4. "AD188X_AD198X_V5.12.01.3890_WDM" - "Other" - "Analog" - "Ok" 5. Instaling Drivers! If the above doesn't work for you, post back and we'll try again. -- freddy "Jenny" wrote: So, I have read the majority of these questions posted..and I have also the same problem.

Hi Freddy,
When I browse my computer for driver software..it doesn't find anything.Any idea where I can get "AD188X_AD198X_V5.12.01.3890_WDM" ? It just says that it doesn't find any driver software to update it. Any ideas? Thanks! Jenny "freddy" wrote: Jenny, I just noticed that my previous post links to digital drivers, but you have analog.

Hi Jenny,
These legacy sound card drivers are usually available from the manufacturer of the computer (Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.). Check more carefully at your computer manufacturer's website, or at the website of the manufacturer of your motherboard. Another approach is to contact them via their support links at their respective websites. You can also use google to search on a term such as: soundmax drivers vista or something similar. I think you will have success. -- freddy "Jenny" wrote: Hi Freddy, When I browse my computer for driver software..it doesn't find anything.Any idea where I can get "AD188X_AD198X_V5.12.01.3890_WDM" ?

Hi Freddy,
I know it was a longer process..but I went back to Windows XP and re-installed the driver for the sound card. The sound started working again..then I put my upgrade disc in for Vista and went back to Vista and the sound is working fine. I guess it only happens when you do a clean install because it gets rid of your drivers all together..and even tho there are drivers out there for my soundcard for Vista none of them worked. Thanks for yr help! Everything is working great now. *crosses fingers* Jenny "freddy" wrote: Hi Jenny, These legacy sound card drivers are usually available from the manufacturer of the computer (Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.).
