Drivers/Hardware :: Sound Driver Lost After Each Reboot?
Aug 18, 2015
Since upgrading to win 10, I am having problems with sound not being permanent. Don't quite know how to approach it. This is VIA HD audio on an ECS motherboard. The icon on the taskbar shows that sound is on, and at 75%. But when I test it, there is no sound coming through the speakers. So I uninstall the driver, I scan for hardware changes; it reinstalls itself. Then I check the configuration, it's set to headphones as default. I change it to speakers, test the sound, and it works. Now when I restart my system for some reason, the sound is gone again, and I need to go through the same routine. I have downloaded the specific driver for VIA HD (they only have a driver for Win 8), installed it, and it doesn't work at reboot. make my driver more permanent, so that it's not lost at reboot?
why my print spooler keeps shutting off since i loaded W10. I have a HP ENVY and have tried to run both printers that worked prior to the install. Both work on the other laptop that isnt running W10.
My Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro. I wanted to ask if there is Driver or something better and that works for the sound card Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro.
Here are the Driver for the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 upgraded to Windows 10, but my Sound Card is the Audigy 4 Pro.: SBA4 SII PCDRV L02 3 01 0044.exe
But for the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro, yet they are with older versions of drivers for Windows 7 and Windows Vista: SBAX PCDRV LB 2 18 0017.exe
Try to install the drivers for the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 "SBA4_SII_PCDRV_L02_3_01_0044.exe" but throws an error message that prevents hardware installation.
The Driver of the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro. Not work well in Windows 10, new clean installation.
What I have to do? I do not want to miss this fantastic audio card!
What are the driver operating in this card "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro." For Windows10?
I have my laptop hooked up to an external display via HDMI. The projection settings made using Winkey + P gets reset to "Duplicate" every time I reboot, and I have to go in and manually change it back to "Second screen only".
Is there still a way to set this permanently? With Win 7 and 8.x there was a "Multiple displays" option under the Screen Resolution control panel, but this control panel seems to have been completely redesigned in Win 10
I know how to change the keyboard layout by clicking on the (in my case) "ENG US" next to the Notification area. So i change it to "ENG" (wish I could make that say "ENG HANS"). But, after a reboot, I am back to "ENG US".
My wifi worked fine until I installed the november update. Workarond by deleting the driver and reboot, didn't work. Tried another PciE card, but same problem.Previous driver HP 802.11 b/g. HP support does not show newer drivers.
I am using Windows 10 in Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet. I installed Fresco Logic Thin2000 USB display driver in Windows 10. After the reboot windows 10 started crashing. I did boot in safe mode but safe mode is preventing me from uninstalling it.
What do I do? this was installed so that I could connect device to projector. In safe mode I am unable to remove it and windows 10 is not booting in normal mode. It showing error system_service_exception(Ddkmd.sys) at boot.
There are certain sound inputs that I do not wish to use.So, I disable them. However, when I reboot my computer all of them are active again. How can I make them permanently inactive?
Problem is audio driver. Each time I use the driver on ASRock page it says its two part process.. says it uninstalls old Realtek driver, reboots, and installs new ...
Each time it reboots and starts over saying it has to remove old. I tried removing old on my own first and starting over.. still no effect.. what do i do ...
I am a bit suspicious if Windows keeps on installing an older driver or something so it keeps starting over...
I was attempting to upgrade my Toshiba 8.1 to windows 10 and was offered to update bios and Atheros Wireless Lan Driver. I mistakenly did both updates and now have lost the Lan Driver. I obtained usb system recovery from Toshiba but when I attempt to recover, the Atheros Wireless Lan Driver wont and I am stuck. Is there anyway that I can reinstall the driver and finish recovering my pc? I have download the driver onto my usb.
I have Dell Inspiron laptop new one and I lost the sound in youtube and skype after installing windows 10. I followed some suggestion but not working for me.
The Conexant HD Audio Sound Driver was replace by High Definition Audio Device after i update to Windows 10 Home Version 1511 from 1011
Now if i want to plug my earphones to the left side of the computer where the audio jack socket is located the sound does not transfer to my earphones except i will change the default sound device from speakers to headphones.
How can i set it to automatically when i plugin my headphones/earphones/external speaker automatically transfer the sound to this device without changing the settings?
I just installed the most recent windows 10 tech preview last night; but my sound blaster pci express sound card did not get installed correctly or something because i am getting no sound at all. I roll everything back to the old setup.
I have windows 10 x64, and when i watch on YouTube my pc do some freeze with buzzing sound for 2 seconds, this process is repeated after 2 hours approximately, sometimes my AMD client do some crash, when this happened my pc work fine without crashes. I can do something ? I don't want to close AMD host application.
My friend gave me a wireless USB dongle to use with my Xbox 360 controller for my PC tower. For whatever reason, Windows wasn't recognizing the dongle so I forcibly-assigned the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller driver present in Windows 10 to the dongle. Now, I can connect my Xbox 360 controller, but I have lost all sound output. I have tried updated drivers, reinstalling, and disabling specific drivers to no avail. At one point, uninstalling this Creative sound driver(which worked earlier) made my sound work for an hour, but now my sound doesn't work again. I don't want to reinstall Windows and lose all the applications a friend downloaded for me.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro. I've lost the power level (battery) and the sound level control icons. What do I have to do to get them back? When I try to activate them they're grayed out.
Upgraded old laptop (HP Pavilion dv2225) to WinX and everything works except for sound. Device Manger (Win key+ X) shows no missing drivers for sound. Used to play AoK under Win 7.
Just as the titles states; why is it that every time I reboot with windows 10; it wipes out my sound? This once again is on a sound blaster x-fi titanium pci express sound card.
My problem seems a little complicated so I'll go step by step what happens:
1. I plug in a USB device to use it (like a flash drive or a printer)
2. Windows makes the "device recognized" sound
3. Nothing happens, so I go to device manager to see if the device is actually working. It's listed under "other devices" and it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). There are no compatible drivers for this device."
4. I reboot my computer WITH THE USB DEVICE PLUGGED IN and all of a sudden and without explanation the device manager recognizes the device and its driver and I can use.
5. I unplug the device and plug it back in and it goes back to step 2.
6. Also, when I click "update drivers" it cannot find them automatically and when I search for the driver manually it just gives me an error saying it did not install successfully.
This is such a frustrating problem because it means I have to reboot every time I need to use a printer or a flash drive. I also have tried everything I can think of: uninstalling every last trace of the driver and trying to let it install freshly on its own; checking the status of Plug and Play; etc.
I'm using HP 15-n061sr with Windows 10 SL and SSD Plextor PX-128M6Pro.
Right after the upgrade from Windows 8.1, I started to experience SMART error on reboot, and only on reboot. I mean that if I just turn the laptop off and on it doesn't happen. It says that SMART detected a possible imminent failure of my disk. If I press "Continue startup", it says something like "insert boot device" or that it can't detect an operating system. Then I can go to BIOS options and restart from there - it boots up flawlessly. This happens every time I reboot. I upgraded 2 days ago. I have the latest SSD drivers. I used Windows' disk optimization tool. SSDLife Pro says disk health is fine.
P.S. I once had imminent failure problem with my previous SSD, but it happened once and it never started again; I got the refund under warranty.
Lost my On/Off Toggle for Bluetooth. Last year whilst I was on 8.1 before my upgrade to Windows 10, I noticed that the On/Off Toggle had disappeared - see screenshot (taken when it was on 8.1).
Now I am on Windows 10 the toggle still has not reappeared.
I definitely had the On/Off option, but I think it disappeared after a routine Windows 8.1 update last year, but I cannot be sure.
Some people suggested that I should delete all the Bluetooth software on my computer, then reboot and the software will be reinstalled correctly. I have not done this because of the fear that once deleted the software to gone forever. I dont have copies of this software and it seems logical that if I delete it, then its gone.
I am using Dell Wireless 1705 Bluetooth, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator - see Device Manager Screenshot. To turn off I now have to go into Device Manager and disable it.
My Driver is Qualcomm Atheros Communications, ver 10.0.1.1 dated 28-07-2015
I can Disable/Enable the driver, but still no toggle otherwise the Bluetooth works fine.
My CD/DVD burner disappeared from the File Explorer, Device Manager, and Computer management two days ago. Today I found it in the device manager by looking under "hidden devices". Following instructions from the Microsoft site I uninstalled the driver and restarted the computer as instructed but this failed and now the device doesn't show under the Device Manager-DVD/CD-ROM devices. I have googled all over to find a driver for it. {Lite-on iHAS324-09A} . Even Lite-on wants me to buy a program to detect and update my drivers and if Lite-on has the drivers on site I sure can't find any. I expect that I could likely buy a new CD/DVD burner just as cheap. I downloaded a couple but have yet to see the CD/DVD burner listed. I am dual booted and it did show In Linux Mint and I could look at a CD's contents. I have spent hours on this and now am completely lost as to what to do next.
I have my PS4 and Xbox One connected to my second screen with HDMI and from my screen I have 3,5 audio cable from screen audio output to motherboards soundcards line-in and in windows I listen to line-in device.
It works when i activate option "listen to this device" in control panel until I restart computer.
If I have option "listen to this device" checked when I restart it won't work until I uncheck that option and restart again or restart audio services.
I have two soundcards one on motherboard (Realtek) and Creative Soundblaster Z and sound output seems to work because I can listen to music and watch videos but I can't hear anything from line-in.
I have installed new drivers and clean install on windows 10.
