No sound -- Win XP SP3

[imtiazmr]

Hi All,

Need your help please..attached is a print screen that shows unknown device. I assume this is for sound as I don't have any. I don't know what MB I have and have downloaded the realtec drivers and the lenovo M55E audio drivers.



Tks for any help...

You’re missing several different drivers.

The Problem Report includes
> your High Definition (HD) audio device (that’s the string that starts “HDAUDIO”). you need the driver and
> The "Video Controller" needs the graphics driver

From Dxdiag
> Machine summary at top says Lenovo 9632F7U. That sound right?
> Dxdiag's System Device section looks like you’re missing the chipset drivers as well.

I think best place to start to find all those drivers to start with the Lenovo website HERE. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page? Use Internet Explorer to go there and try their Auto-detect option. See if Lenovo will detect your machine and find the right drivers for you

Then let's just do it this way... Your computer uses High Definition (HD) Audio

Based on the info in your Problem Report, I believe you need the SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio driver. Try HERE

/* EDIT */
I just looked at that driver file. There's no Setup.exe file. You will probably need installation instructions. I'll post instructions on how to install driver later when i have the chance

To install that driver see [post=1094585]How to Install a Driver when there's no Installation .EXE file to run[/post]

Great news! Glad to hear it worked

And here's a tip on the other two devices in the Problem Report

SM Bus Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DA&SUBSYS_101517AA&REV_01\3&61AAA01&0&FB The drivers for this device are not installed.
Video Controller (VGA Compatible) PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2972&SUBSYS_101517AA&REV_02\3&61AAA01&0&10 The drivers for this device are not installed.

If we look at their device strings, both of their IDs start PCI\VEN_8086
> PCI tells us they both connect to the PCI bus
> VEN_8086 tells us the PCI vendor ID of each device= 8086. 8086 is the PCI vendor ID for Intel. Thus both of those devices are Intel chips

Try Intel Driver Update Utility. See if it might help resolve the Intel chips
