Audio problem with new install on my laptop
I just did a clean install of vista on my gateway 4530gz laptop and I have no
audio. the device manager says its working and that I have the most current driver available (intel (r)82801db/dbm ac '97 audio controller). also the visual eq on the volume control is showing activity when I play audio files but nothing from the speakers or headphones. any help? Ive scoured the net for any drivers and have found none. Its definately not muted or anything like that. thanks. nick |

Audio problem with new install on my laptop
Download the XP drivers from Gateway's support page. Extract the drivers from the archive into a folder on your harddrive (like c:\vistadrivers\ ). DO NOT RUN THE SETUP.EXE THAT GATEWAY ASSIGNS. Go to Device Manager via right clicking My Computer. Go to the Soundcard and update the drivers to the assigned folder on your HDD. Restart. BANG! the soundcard works....at least it did for me. It seems that during the Vista install, Microsoft gives this device a generic driver that isnt specific enough. -- crs22 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
