    SigmaTel - Sound - SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC windows up

    This update on the Intel D975XBX2 motherboard with the latest BIOS causes the
    AUDIO to completely go away. Uninstalling with the delete option and
    rebooting and having the Microsoft driver re-detect the audio, then it worked
    again.


    Please TEST updates before pushing them, this driver doesn't work.

    Hi there,

    It is known amongst experienced users to never take any driver updates from
    windows update it often gives results where the hardware will not function
    well anymore.

    IF a driver is really needed becausse the hardware does not function
    properly you should obtain a driver at the manufacturers website.

    Realcestmoi, the information you offered was helpful despite the initial
    putdown, so thank you. Unfortunately, all of us aren't "experienced users"
    and appreciate feedback from others who are having similar problems. That's
    how we learn and why we search within forums such as this one for comments,
    suggestions, and possible answers. Some of us novices have mistakenly
    believed in the past that Windows Updates are trustworthy, having received
    the advice from various "reputable" sites, (a certain, popular PC magazine
    for example) and help manuals, which often state that all Windows Updates
    should be downloaded.

    Thank you Zeio, I appreciated your comments. Now I know that it isn't just
    me that has experienced the same problem with this update, and it is not
    necessarily a result of total user error.

    Hi there,

    There was no initial putdown just a statement of facts.

    Another fact is that practice makes the master, you have practiced and
    learned as I still do every day: thank God for that;)

    So after all it is a positive event.

    And you are most welcome;)
