Found a driver update at MS update site "C Media Electronics Incorporation -
Sound - C-Media AC97 Audio Device ". Prior to installing this update sound
was fine, after no sound and device manager states that driver fails to
start. This is a new system with a clean install of mfg supplied drivers as
well as a clean install of O/S (MS Win XP Pro SP2). Done the driver rollback
and sound functionallity was restored. Would you all PLEASE fix your driver
that you supply thru Windows update or remove it till then. I mean I don't
mind the xtra business but this is getting old, fixing a customers computer
that they update themselves thru your system and then bring it to me to fix
due to a problem that you install. Thanks for the help with business but I
don't need that kind of help.
And sooner or later people will quit using your products after they get so
pissed off about having to pay to get thier equipment fixed from updates that
you are supplying. I mean FIX it or don't supply it when you find out there
is a problem with it... :-{
As you obviously have according to the previous post at this board, or at
least warn people prior to downloading and give them the nessary info to do
the driver roll back Prior to the download.
Have a nice day...

PS there are over 200 post about this problem at this forum. I wonder just
how many total through out the system, there really are concerning this
specific issue?
Your the bean counters you do the math and see where it will take you.
Better Git Er DUN and soon.

I had the same problem with that driver update. Also had to do a roll back
drivers. Prior to the update I had in Device Manager showing my sound as
NVIDIA nForce. It is onboard sound on this MSI mother board.

I have learned in the past taking drivers from MS Updates usually don't go
well. I thought I would try this one even though it said it was C-Media. I
thought maybe it would work since Updates scanned my system and thought it
found a device for this. Well, now I do know I won't ever try drivers from
MS Updates again. Will be sure to go to the Manufactures of the device for
any updates.

One wonders why MS keeps delevering these problem-causing
drivers through WU - MS knows they are causing rampant trouble,
why not remove them from WU?
