Sound stopped after loading the Microsoft website download C-Media WDM
Audio Driver. I have XP Pro and Realtek ALC650 Audio for MSI K7N2-L
Motherboard on self built computer. I failed to repair after trying
this:
1.cannot restore system to earlier date (no change after going back a
day.)
2.Cannot restore driver in device manager to earlier drive (no past
drivers.)
3.Cannot restore after Google search following postings that cleaned
system using regedit, removed cmirndrv.exe, etc. Removed C-Media in
device manager and immediately installed Realtec APA397 which was
downloaded from Realtec website. No sound on reboot and then the
C-Media driver reinstalled itself.
4.Can't find Microsoft instructions or other software that repairs
bad sound drivers.
5.C-Media download acts like a virus that is hard (or impossible) to
uninstall.
What sound driver repair or restore method will work? Please reply to
(e-mail address removed)

1. Do not download/install new drivers from MS for cards that are
working.
2. Get the drivers you need from your sound card maker.
