I talked my friend into getting Vista........I gave him the Vista upgrade advisor, and was planning to help him do as I do, and procure all BIOS INF Audio Video HID etc drivers for Vista PREINSTALL to stash on a flash card, but he was so excited he clean installed it without even a little presetup.
Now his PC is stuck with absolutely no audio, and I am at a loss because I cant help him identify his MB. I have a Intel 946GZ......which shows up in a few places on my device manager settings.....his PC on the other hand shows 910/915....
We went to Intel site, downloaded the 5537 or 5337 whatever audio for Realtek, which seems to be the onboard audio for every 915 MB intel makes, but upon install, he gets the "did this install crrectly" error. He had not done a INF update, nor had he run Windows Update yet. I have advised him do those ASAP, and he will later today, he was just to tired from a day of screwing around with it.
So, when he updates the INF, then retries the audio install, if he still has a problem, what can I do to help? How do I identify what audio system he has present, when device manager shows a red X and no options? I gave him the Intel Chipset Identifier EXE, but it wont run on my Vista, so not sure if that can help him. Need help ASAP, because he clean installed, and lost his old OS, so he may actually kill me if I cant get him his audio back.......he has like a proffessional sound studio with offboard mixing and such, so hes sorta into audio...please help save my life!
