The audio icon disappeared from the taskbar, it shows up in the notification area as 'past item' and it appears to be in a folder. I've tried the usual steps of clicking 'always show' and 'place icon on taskbar' - doesn't work. I have C-Media AC97 and tried to reinstall Realtek AC97 and at the end of the installation it says Microsoft has not passed Windows logo testing.. How do I proceed to get my audio back? thanks Mainboard : Unspecified P4i65G Chipset : Intel i865GV Processor : Intel Celeron D 335J @ 2800 MHz Physical Memory : 1024 MB (1 x 1024 DDR-SDRAM ) Video Card : Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller Hard Disk : WDC (80 GB) CD-Rom Drive : HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8526B Monitor Type : Targa - 16 inches Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RT8139 (A/B/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 DirectX : Version 9.0c
uninstall it, the reinstall it..You can also try system restore to an earlier date.. If that doesn't work,try to download the newest driver for it..
I've done all of those already and they dont work. Downloading the latest driver for Realtek resulted in 'Realtek has not passed Windows logo testing'.
If you are running XP, then download Tweak UI for xp, install the program, and open it.. click on think general, make sure default beep is checked..
