"I discovered the reason why it screwed up, during the installation of the realtek ALC883 High definition audio drivers, windows xp popped up a new device hardware wizard, "LEAVE this window ALONE", allow the realtek driver to finish the install and dont under any circumstances allow the hardware device wizard to install anything.
If you are at your wits end, the simplest and most effective solution is a complete
re-install of windows, being very careful upon your next install of the audio driver
to allow the realtek sound driver install to complete, and not to touch the hardware
device wizard until it is finished."
Really though you'd think if no devices are installed and you use the proper driver, that it'd just work. It isn't like Windows XP is obscure. You said you tried the driver from the manufacturer's website. I guess you could also try the Realtek website before doing anything else."
Og lidt mere du kan bruge:
"Version 1.0a of the UAA High Definition Audio class driver does not work on High Definition Audio implementations that were disclosed to Microsoft after August 1, 2004.
In case you want to try version 1.0 instead of 1.0a. Maybe your version of the Realtek audio was designed before that date. It also said you have to totally remove 1.0 before trying 1.0a. In case you had 1.0 installed already from something and didn't remove it."
