Need audio driver(s) for SigmaTel in Windows 7 ...

<< < (2/2)

barney:
Update.

Finally got an older version of the driver installation software to run.  Installed v5.10.4487 of the SigmaTel drivers.  Still don't know why the drivers went away to start with, but audio is back.  Seems funny that the Vista-capable installer won't work, but an XP version will.

Anyway, the issue is resolved - for now <sigh />.

barney:
New update.

The previous fix worked until reboot.  Did not work a 2nd time  >:(.

Ran across Device Doctor - including a portable version -DeviceDoctor Portable - Repair Tool of the Week (http://www.technibble.com/devicedoctor-repair-tool-of-the-week/) at Technibble, free, and supports Win7.

Tried that.  Program ran, then downloaded the driver(s) I needed - had a little trouble connecting to the Web, but otherwise ran fine.  It doesn't install things, just downloads them and lets you do the install, which I like.  The site maintains its own database and stores the drivers locally, rather than trotting off to a vendor site.

Survived one reboot & one hibernation ... maybe it's fixed this time.

Anyway, the Device Doctor app looks a promising addition to my troubleshooting USB stick.

cmpm:
Sigmatel was updated to IDT PC Audio on  most gateway p2's.
