Realtek High Definition Audio doesn't install properly
I have a problem installing Realtek High Definition Audio drivers.
When installing the most recent driver from Realtek website (WDM_R178.exe), the driver installation stops with an error message: Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !! When I look at the device manager, it says that the drivers are not installed. I'm using an ASUS P5K motherboard with onboard audio enabled in the BIOS. Also using WinXP Pro with all the latest patches. At some point, I decided to disabled the audio device within the BIOS and I was able to fully install the driver from Realtek, but if I go back and re-enable the onboard audio.. still the same issue, no sound and the device manager still show a problem with High Definition Audio driver. I also tried to uninstall the High Definition Audio driver from the device manager, but I'm getting an error saying that it's not possible to remove it because it is required for booting the OS. I saw a couple of threads on similar issue, but can't find a clear solution for that. Please help me with this issue. Thanks. Jeff. |

Realtek High Definition Audio doesn't install properly
did you install the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) driver
first? On some MoBo it is required to gain access to the special HDA Bus that the sound chip is attached to. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111 |

From what I understand in the document, I have the feeling that these drivers are already included with Windows XP. Can you let me know how to install this driver please. Thanks for your help.

Ok.. I found it. This driver was actually included with the Realtek driver.. just had to install it from another directory. Once I figured out, I removed all previously Realtek driver.. reinstalled the UAA driver, then the Realtek driver once again and all was good. Thanks very much for your help. Jeff. |

I see a UAA for download here. The list of operating systems is a bit longer than for KB888111. The 54MB download is an InstallShield, so I cannot look inside it, to verify anything. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...tem=ob-45977-2 On the MS site, I cannot figure out exactly what they expect a user to do for WinXP X64. I guess I'm using bad search terms. Paul |

XP SP3 Issue
Don't know if your still looking ofr ans answer but I had a similar issue with the ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0 MotherBoard.
To get this to work I had to uninstall the "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio" in Device Manager under System Devices - then I installed the Realtek Drivers from the motherboard CD and rebooted - it installed the audio and reinstalled the microsoft device. It seems to wokr although I don't have a high def output to test it... Sorry! |
