A MS update (KB888111) won't uninstall
This posted yesterday didn't show up in OE or in Google groups web site or
Thunderbird. Trying again: Win XP Home. Trying to remove completely the Asus on board sound system by RealTek. The subject update installs a package for High Definition Audio driver. Device manager describes the item under Other Devices (with yellow Q mark) as audio device onHi Def audio bus. This KB888111 update, not removeable in Add/Remove, is apparently connected with the RealTek sound system, which I had hoped was completely ripped out to make way for a sound card, just installed, with a versatile suite of functions. Trouble is, the "new hardware found" wizard keeps popping on screen with each boot up. I have taken realtek completely out of registry. Not any other trace of it can I find. Am at a loss as to how to end this Wizard annoyance. Add/Remove responds to the remove command with...unable to...may be package already deleted... Meanwhile, no problems with new sound system. There is much at MS web sites on KB888111, but am not having success in understanding how to disappear it. Suggestions much appreciated. -- RobF Address anti-spammed |

Not there. Installed from CD; no enable required. Asus has fixed its contact system so that contact is impossible. Ingenious. Easy to find a LAN. for instance, not audio. Appreciate your input. -- RobF Address anti-spammed |

Doing a search on your user ID, you posted a query about Asus M2V on Oct30,2008. Opening my cached copy of M2V, I see in Section 4.4.5 "Onboard Device Configuration", that the first item HD Auto Controller [Disabled] controls audio. Yes, that is an incorrect spelling in the manual. It is supposed to be "HD Audio". That would be the interface to your ALC660 that you want to disable. Paul |

When I (many times, reading manual) saw HD Auto Controller, directly above the LAN option I mentioned earlier, my attention became mugged and robbed of sense, and I skipped along, thus missing the smaller type that states plainly enough HighDef *Audio* etc. And HD in the bold type would not mean Hard Drive. Very good of you to take the trouble to look up my Asus model number and find (pardon the caps) THE answer in the board's manual. -- RobF Address anti-spammed |
