A problem with Realtek HD Audio

[wenjun.peter.he]

Problem senarios:
- With Control Panel, open volume control I got "No Audio Device"
problem, therefore, it was impossible to adjust the level of the audio
devices;
- Try to update or uninstall driver for the Realtek HD Audio, but got
error message saying that the driver is required for bootup; and
nothing happens when click on "Update Driver" button;
- Open "Media Player" or any other players, got error saying there was
no audio device on the system;

My solution to this:
Step 1:
[Right-Click] My Computer - [Select] properties -> [Select-Tab]
Hardware -> [Click-Button] Device Manager -> [Click-Span] System
Devices -> [Right-Click] Microsoft UAA High Definition Driver ->
[Select] properties -> [Select-Tab] Driver -> [Click] Uninstall ->
[Click]OK;
Step 2:
[Click-Button] Scan for hardware changes (within Device Manager
window)
Result:
Windows detected new hardware and installed drivers and the audio
devices turned working properly.

I hope this will other people suffering the same or alike problems.

You could have skipped a step and just installed it to update the device, at least
by the way Intel suggests: These are the Intel instructions from several driver
versions past. Anyone using anything other than an Intel chipset should not use this
and check the manufacturers support site for device and other problems.

Microsoft Windows* XP Installation Instructions for
Intel(R) HD Audio HDMI Function Driver (IntcHmdi.sys)
----------------------------------------------------

1. Obtain KB888111.exe, the Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio Package version
1.0a.

2. Run KB888111.exe and follow the installation wizard. This will install the
Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio under System Devices in the Device
Manager.

3. A Found New Hardware Wizard will popup for the HDMI Audio Codec. Note that you
may see two new hardware wizards as one may popup for the HD
Audio codec on the motherboard.

4. If you are updating the driver, just right-click on the HDMI function driver in
the device manager and in the 'properties' page select "Update Driver".

5. Do not connect to Windows Update to search for software and click "Next".

6. Select "Install from a list or specific location" and click "Next".

7. Select "Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install" and click "Next".

8. If asked for the device type, Select "Sound Video and Game controllers" and click
"Next".

9. Click "Have Disk" and navigate to the directory with intchdmi.inf and
intchdmi.sys.

10. Select intchdmi.inf and click "Open", click "Ok".

11. Select "Intel HD Audio HDMI Audio Function Driver" and click "next".

12. Click "continue anyway" on the warning regarding Windows Logo.


To determine if the driver has been loaded correctly,
refer to the Verifying Installation section below.

[Right-Click] My Computer - [Select] Manage - is a quick way to the
management console, device manager, event viewer etc.
