Realtek HD sound problem with XP

[Squeezy99]

Hi,
I have a problem on my PC now which I cannot solve.
I am running XP Pro x64 on my ASrock/AMD rig with Realtek HD 5.1 sound. All
was working OK, I had just solved how to get the mic working on the front
panel so my old 5.1 speaker system worked fully from the rear 3 sockets. A
few days later it booted with three error messages for Realtek system
programs that load at startup. ALCMTR.EXE, RTHDCPL.EXE, and ALCWZRD.EXE.
All have a message 'Failed to initialise properley (0x0000005)'
I have de installed Realtek, re installed the latest copy from their site
etc but I cannot get rid of this error so the Realtek sound manager will not
run. I cannot find a solution on any other forums and I have mailed Realtek
but so far no reply.
Any ideas greatfully welcome.
Regards,
Dave

Dave, did you uninstall Realtek from the Device Manager?

Hi,
no, I will uninstall eveything and try again.
Thanks,

When I uninstall the realtek drivers the Realtek HD device is automatically
removed from the device manager. I also uninstalled the Microsoft UAA bus
driver for HDA. After all this and a re install the same problem exisists.
Thanks,
Dave
