in [64 Bits Windows]

From: Carlos on 18 Nov 2008 09:45 John, The only catch here is that, under the same nickname, you can find a different underlying hardware, ie, you may find zillions of hd audio drivers in microsoft download center corresponding to varying chipsets. The only solution here is to take a look inside the *.inf file inside the MSFT driver and check for the VID (vendor id) and PID (chipset). If that info matches the one reported in Device Manager, then it is safe to install those drivers.

From: John Barnes on 18 Nov 2008 09:56 I suggested using System Restore. The poster had a working driver until 'recently'.

From: Carlos on 18 Nov 2008 11:17 John, I got that one right from the very beginning. My comment was only ment for you, sharing what I had ran into when also searching for notebook audio drivers. :) Carlos "John Barnes" wrote: > I suggested using System Restore.

From: John Barnes on 18 Nov 2008 13:17 Thanks, Carlos. Good to know if I see anyone needing to go that route. In my case whatever Microsoft generic HD driver came with the install DVD worked so well with my Realtek sound that I didn't want to risk installing the 1000+ (I know it wasn't quite that many, but they seemed to issue several new ones every week) drivers Realtek released.

Hi, I think the ms hd audio drivers are such like an interface to a "compatible codec" (with hardware for sure) (anything like netbios for smb) jk btw realtek is at level 2.09 |
