Ati High Definition Audio Device Drivers
I’m using Windows 7 on my 4 year old Asus laptop. About a week ago I was playing with the mixer on my sound control (speaker icon), and while changing between Realtek High definition audio, AMD High Tech Audio and WS Audio Device I lost all sound on my laptop. According to the volume level thingy I still have sound. According to Winamp, I still have sound. According to every device including my audio drivers I still have sound. Yet I have no sound. So I went to Microsoft.com and the suggested I remove and re-install the drivers.
Suddenly Window 7 can find any Audio Device. Running the Troubleshooter a nd reinstalling the drivers Failed. Issues found ATI High Definition Audio Device has a. Solved: on startup, I get an error message that teh ATI high definition audio device driver did not install correctly. There is no such driver on - 3836572.
I even asked, “When I do so where is Windows 7 going to go to get the new drivers?” They said, “Oh, it’ll automatically go to the website of the maker and download it.” So I removed the AMD High Tech Audio driver, and did a reboot. The bus then showed as an unknown audio device with no driver and Update Driver was greyed out. I then went to your website which downloaded a program that “auto-senses the minimal drivers needed.(OSGS14-WindowsUpgradeAssistant-32bitand64bit-ClientSKU-4141411.exe).” In Device Manager properties the bus now is shown in the Sound, video, and game controllers, but as a “High Definition Audio Device,” but not as an AMD device like it should. It is also using the Microsoft driver not yours, and I still have no sound! I think we’re heading in the right direction. We’re just not quite there yet.

Please instruct me as to how to proceed. Microsoft has said multi-audio devices can be installed and available at the same time,but cannot run together. Either way,one can set BIOS to run default sound device,install its software/drivers in windows,then once running, in device mgr,uninstall default sound hardware,do not restart pc.Shutdown pc,install 3rd party hardware,in BIOS, in windows install software/drivers.This was xp setting,win 7/vista use the same,The setting(s) might require disable with default,then 3rd party gets added,this actually is the same type of configuration with pc hardware video chip, it can be added to 3rd party video card (8MB) of its memory.
