You state that you have no Secondary IDE Controller showing in Device
Manager.
Restart the computer and enter the BIOS setup (by using whatever key is
mentioned on-screen to enter setup), enable the secondary channel and
set it to Auto, save the changes and exit Setup, then start Windows .

Thanks Tom, but I already did that. They offer a audio driver and the
sound
is fine, no problem there. As I said Multimedia Audio driver is under
DVD/CdRom in Device manager. When I install the manufacturer's
driver, it
places Multimedia Audio Driver under Sound devices, and the DVD/CDRom
heading
disappears. I am trying to find out why my drivers for DVD/CDRom
won't
load(code31). For some reason it is not being detected by Windows.
Read prior
post on steps I have already taken. Anyone got any new suggestions??
I know
I could use the XP or Resource CD, but with no access to my drive that
is not
an option.

My advice would be to uninstall the Sound Driver Software you just
tried, and failed
to correct the problem with.

Then, search on your PC manufacturer's website for the correct driver
installation
file[s] for your PC audio.

Many PC manufacturers carry driver software on their websites, but
please note - you
do have to be carful to quote the exact model no., if they do...

I have this problem also after uninstalling game software. In
Device
manager, it show DVD/CD-ROM and under that Multimedia Audio
controller with
an exclamation point by both. But when I update the driver, it
installs
drivers for SoundMax digital audio and places Multimedia Audio
Controller in
Sound devices. DVD/CD-ROM disappears from Device Manager and still
not able
to use CD/Rom/Dvd.
Steps I have already taken:
1.) No upper/lower filters in the Registry that is so heavily
floating as a
solution.
2.) Cdgone did not work
3.) Microsoft's Fix it said it could not detect
4.) I checked my drivers in system 32 and two that are shown in
driver
details of IDE ATA ATAPI and Primary IDE channel (have no Second
primary
channel showing) are not in C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/
storprop.dll(primary) and pciidex.sys.
I was told that senfilt.sys should not be in system 32. At one
point it was
not there but in the registry.
I have not installed the driver for Multimedia Digital Audio
driver. I did
the add hardware wizard and it said 'Windows cannot load the
drivers for this
device(DVD/CD-ROM) Code 31.

In my registry by CDROM in two places are two terms I don't
understand.
INITIALFAIL(by reg.key for deleting filters) and AutoRunDisable(by
cdrom.sys)

How can I get the drivers for DVD/CD-ROM to load and not in concert
with
Multimedia Audio Controller that installs SoundMax drivers for
sound ONLY.

Don, from what you said if you open MyComputer you see the C,
D but not
the E drive Icon. I would try right clicking
MyComputerselect PropertiesHardwareDevice ManagerDvd/Cdrom
Drives.
Click on the plus sign and you should
see two entries for your cdrw drives. If there rt click on
each one and
choose Uninstall. Restart your Computer and let
WinXP reinstall the drives.

them ? thank
