Go back to the Intel link I provided earlier, and download and install item #7 - INF support.

Reboot the computer. Go back to Device Manager, and check for yellow symbols. Is the audio controller still having issues? If so, try uninstalling it again. Reboot the computer and see if Windows can install it properly.

Do you still have yellow symbols over the audio controller?

Please update us on what you have done so far.

You could try SFC (System File Checker). It can fix certain issues in Windows where specific system files get corrupted, deleted, or infected. Basically the System File Protection watches the system files and checks their integrity against it's knowledge of what these files are supposed to look like. Generally if a system file get's "messed with" windows will let you know and give you the option to dissallow the change, sometimes you don't get this option though. The System File Checker is a command line utility that will initiate a scan of all the system files to make sure they are in their original state, present on the system, and or working properly. It's an easy tool to use but the user HAS to have an XP disk for it to work.

Do you have a valid XP cd?

If so, place it in your CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below

Start > Run > cmd then type

sfc /scannow (note the space)

let this run untill you get a message saying it is complete.

SFC - system file checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

Now, try to install the drivers again.

ron111, did you install the INF utility as suggested in Post #17?

The concensus is that the Chip Set drivers need to be installed. The INF Utility is the closest thing I can find to Chip Set drivers on Intel's site for your motherboard.

Please confirm that your computer is custom-built. If it isn't, what brand/model is it?

Ron111, I've attached a zip file that contains the INF folder from an Intel Express Installer CD for D845GLLY and D845GLAD boards. You can extract the contents to your desktop and run the setup.exe file. This should enable you to get the audio controller drivers installed.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Hi, ron111.

First, please confirm your operating system. Is it Windows XP? Home or Professional? SP1 or SP2?

Next, do you hear any kind of sound at all? Confirm that your speakers are plugged into the correct jack in the back of the computer and the the volume is not all the way down.

Now, go to Control Panel, Sounds and Audio, Volume tab. Confirm that the Device Volume slider is not on "Low" and that "Mute" is not checked.

Then, go to the Sounds tab. The bottom half of that screen is "Program Events". Click on one, then open the Sounds drop-down box and choose a sound to play. Next click the play button to the right of the Sounds drop-down box. Did you hear anything?

If still no sound, let's check in Device Manager - you may need to reinstall the sound card. Right click My Computer, Manage, Device Manager. Expand the Sound, Video, Game Controller category. Do any of the items have a yellow ? or ! over them? Do you see the item that is your sound card? It may say something like "Brandname integrated sound controller".

If it has a yellow symbol over it, right click it and choose Update Drivers. You may need to have your driver disk handy.

If it appears okay, right click it and choose Uninstall. Reboot your computer and allow Windows to reinstall it.

Did that help?
