No sound in Windows XP (Mac side fine)
Here's what I've tried:
- re-installing the device drivers individually. They seem to install correctly, but Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices still says "No Audio Device".
- removing/re-installing/repairing my Boot Camp drivers (this started with Beta 1.4, so I tried everything there; then it continued in Leopard, so I've tried the same again with the new Boot Camp).
- running the 'kb835221' fix most recently in Leopard, but no joy there, either.
If I click on Control Panel/SigmaTel Audio, I get a RUNDLL window with a white X on a red background. The text says "An exception occurred wile trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\stacgui.cpl",SigmaTel Audio" followed by a rundll32.exe - Application Error window that says "The instruction at "0x1003e494" referenced memory at "0x00c13fd4". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program" When I click on OK, this is followed by another similar window. Then it's done. (Now, I've been around Windows enough to know that these most likely just go with the first error - not that there's anything wrong with my system's memory; but I included them for detail, just in case.)
Also, I have *no yellow exclamation points* in the Windows Device Manager. Everything says it is operating correctly. However, under the Sound, video and game controllers section, I have a Legacy Audio Drivers and several Codecs, but no RealTek driver. Even after installing the RealTek driver several times, it never shows up in the Device Mangler - uh, I mean Manager 😉
Whew! So, if you've made it to here - do you have any ideas for me, short of re-installing my WinXP??? If it comes to that, I'll have to live without the sound at this point... Please, oh sound gurus, I beg for your help!
