IDT - Audio - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

[alanb]

After installing this optional Windows VISTA update, I get the error that "No
Audio Output Device is Installed". What happened and how do I fix it?

Lost your audio with the Dell IDT codec update?

Same thing happened to my on my Gateway laptop. I went back to the SigmaTel
audio drivers and all is good again. Frankly, I don't know why I was
upgrading if the first place because my audio was fine.

same with a gateway desktop, no sound after the update. reinstalled the
original gateway driver and it works again.
it shows sigmatel HD audio again instead of IDT

this happened to me

i just when to the dell website (my laptop is a dell) and downloaded the
'new' drivers and installed them, after that everything was ok..

i dont know why windows update would install something that would do that...

I am having this same problem with my gateway after downloading the
Vista update. I cant see to fix the problem. I have uninstalled the
vista update. My computer installed the software for Sigma Tel High
Definition Audio CODEC and said it was "ready to use" but i am still
getting the No Audio Output Device installed, and my sound isnt
working.... does anyone know how to fix it? I would really really
appreciate the help.

You can't just roll back the driver - you need to go back previous restore
point.

Yes, that's what I did too. I misstated above.

Same thing happened to me. I just went back to the old driver and everything
was fine. Not sure why it did what it did
