IDT Audio IDT High Definition Audio CODEC took out my audio
I'm using Vista Home Premium and just installed the IDT Audio IDT High
Definition Audio CODEC update today. After rebooting I have no playback
devices. I can not Skype, can not play back CDs or listen to the internet
radio.
In addition, when I look at installed updates to remove an update, this
particular one is not listed. Suggestions?

For the record, not all experts agree with this advice. (In particular
Microsoft obviously doesn't or they wouldn't be distributing the drivers this
way in the first place!)
However, the same advice applies as with any other updates - make sure you're
backed up first.

Try this ... I'm certainly not an expert, but if this works, let me know -
reboot your computer but first unplug your speakers and anything in your
headphone output. Reboot again and plug everything back in. It's possible
Windows might 'see' the items on the second attempt.
I'm back to normal but I may try this myself (after first creating a new
Restore point).
Re: IDT Audio IDT High Definition Audio CODEC took out my audio
Hi, one day i was doing updates for my computer (i have an Acer and i'
using vista) and i think it called for a vista update. Once i update
it, i restarted my computer and i found a little sound icon with a re
"x" on it saying: "no audio output is installed". I don't know why i
happened. I researched what i would do on google. One webpage said:
go to control panel>device manager>find the sound card by clicking o
the plus next to Sound, Video and Game controllers. You should se
something that has a brand name with integrated audio>click on it>driv
tab>roll back drive
I did this. It said once you "roll back the driver" that the soun
should start working again. But unfortunatly when i went to the Driv
tab, it would NOT let me click on "roll back driver". i don't know why
And now i do not now how to solve this problem, and get my sound back o
my compter.
By the way, it says my sound is a "IDH High Definition Audio CODEC"
Does anyone know how to fix this? Your help is much appreiciated
Thanks

Had the same problem on my Dell desktop. Solution was to uninstall the new
sound driver Microsoft Update installed and then I went to Dell's site and
downloaded their July 2007 SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC driver and
everything worked just fine again.
Sigma Tel HD Audio Codec on Inspiron 1501 running XP - No sound SO
I just experienced the same problem with using the updated audio driver and
then having no sound or audio device. After a whole week of trying to find
the source of constant bluescreen crashes running Vista I finally gave in and
replaced Vista with XP professional. Did all updates including SP3 and
everything went perfectly until I tried to install the audio driver I had
gotten off the Dell site meant for my laptop running XP (R171789 -12/4/07)
It was the only one listed so I figured it had to be the right one. Well as
soon as I installed it I knew something was wrong because the system crashed
and Device Status said to reinstall the drivers for this device (code 18) --
no audio device, and no sound at all. I tried several times to reinstall and
it came up with things that didn't make sense, like needing a driver
stacapi.dll, but not accepting it even though I directed it right to it in
the WDM folder! I finally uninstalled the Sigma Tel entry in device manager
but add/remove programs would not let me uninstall the Sigma Tel
program....error code 5001 - >setupDLL/setupDLL.cpp(2739) PAPP: SigmaTel
Pvendor: Sigma Tel PGUID: long
numbers/letters...$10.1.0.238@windowsXPservicepack3(2600) IE.0.6000.
Thank goodness I found this exact problem mentioned here. While the "found
new hardware" search never found a suitable driver - I figured I needed to
find a previous one to the one on the Dell site so that made me go back to
the Dell site and look again. I saw a link that said "other versions" which
is where I found an older Sigma Tel driver from 5/10/07 (says 11/2/06 and is
R134779).
I was worried that since I wasn't able to uninstall the bad one that the new
one wouldn't install right so I did something out of desperation that I
normally would never think of doing----I DELETED the Sigma Tel software entry
right out of Programs in Windows exporer! I really did not think it would
work at that point BUT IT DID!! I installed the older driver and SOUND IS
BACK and all entries are as they should be.
Thanks to all who take the time to help others on these forums!

HI.
i accidently removed this IDT High Def Audio Codec driver. How can i
reinstall it? i didn't have the system restore on so i can't restore and the
roll back driver didn't work and of course i don't have the system CD either.
