Si1520 XP Sound Problem (installed KB888111) *SOLVED*  Topic is solved

Postby Sway » Sat Aug 04, 2007 9:45 pm

Hi,

I got an Amilo Si1520 that came with Vista Premium Home and I "downgraded" it to XP Home. Everything worked fine, except I cannot install the sound drivers.

Whenever I boot up I get "Warning: Cannot access volume control" popup, I have already installed the KB888111 hotfix but no luck, whenever I open the driver installation, I click Install and it just gives me "Installation Failure."

Stupid Conexant.


Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


EDIT: Problem solved, thanks.
Sway

Ok, I solved by myself.
But when people solves a problem, it would be nice if they shared the solution with others. That's what forums are about.

Anyway here is the solution:
1) download the sound card drivers for the Amilo SI1520 from FSC site.
2) download the "High Definition Audio Codecs" from Realtek website (www.realtek.com.tw)
3) unzip both archives
4) install the Audio Codecs from Realtek
5) the system will then ask for a specific fine (I can't remember the exact name, but it's something like HDAsomething.SYS) browse to the folder where you unzipped the drivers taken from the FSC site and you'll find it
6) reboot

That's it.
Ciao!

Hi All,

I have used information from this link: http://www.amilo-forum.de/topic,20876,4 ... tml#150957

So, if you have XP with SP2 - you install this update to XP: http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/Downl ... io%20Codec
and run normal audio drivers installation. They are installed as usual without any additional tricks.

Good luck!
