Hi Friend,

When I tried installing the drivers from mother-board CD on my new XP
(after the XP-SP2 is installed), eventhough the installation status of
audio driver shows "installed", I couldnt get the speaker iocn (or
something like that) on the systray. Also, when I looked into the
"Device Manager", I found a YELLOW (!) against SigmaTel device under
Audio drivers, meaning there is some problem in installation of the
driver or some conflict has happened.

Can you please help me in knowing the reason for this behavior and how
it can be rectified, and/or where/how can I get the latest driver
installer suitable for my mother board.

Processor: Intel P4, 1.6MHz
Board: Intel D845-GVSR
Ram: 256MB SDR (64MB shared for onboard AGP)
SoundCard: SigmaTel (onboard)
OS: Windows XP (with SP2)

Thanks
R. Padmakumar

Did you Double-Click the SigmaTel entry in Device Manager ? The
details box would provide additional info on the issue preventing the
device from being enabled and having drivers installed. When you
installed the Motherboard drivers did you apply the Chipset Driver
first ?
Usually, the CD included with the MB is somewhat dated and may
be weeks or months out of date. I would go to the vendor's website
and get "All" the updated drivers for your specific model.

The CD drivers are likely to be outdated. The below page has
the up to date drivers for your mother board. I always use a
slipstreamed
XP SP2 to save time and there is less chance of errors.

HI All,

Thanks for you inputs.. Intel website says that my motherboard
(D845GVSR) is having "RealtekAC97" audio device. so i downloaded the
corr deiver (AUD_ALLOS_5.10.0.6020_PV_RealtekAC97.exe) from intel
website and tried to install on my windows XP. It also FAILED.

Btw.. I forgot to tell onemore thing.. i am having dual boot to Windows
2000 Pro. And the Sigmatel audio driver went fine and it is working
fine (only on Windows 2000 Pro). I donno why.

Thanks

Very long, very detailed post.

Your solution is likely one of those contained within.
