    Acer Aspire M5641 Audio Problem
    « on: August 16, 2009, 02:29:39 PM »
    I have recently done a clean install of XP on an Acer M5641 machine.
    I was able to make a custom XP install using information from http://komku.blogspot.com/2009/01/aspire-m1641-m3641-m5641-windows-xp-and.html
    Everything is working except the audio.

    When I try to install the audio driver it fails.
    When I go into system and attempt to update the driver it does not respond.
    Windows update did install a new driver, but still no audio

    Any suggestions ????

    Thanks

    Dave

    It's possible the driver listed at that site is incorrect for your machine...i'd go straight to the Acer site.

      There's your problem...
      It was built for Vista.

      Alot of people have been thru this...you're not the 1st.

        Yea I know
        Vista just sucks and I want to get XP running on the quad core.
        I'm going to try and install a soundblaster card to see if I can get some sound
