Title: Sound Card
Post by: curefreak on June 03, 2009, 07:41:55 PM
I royally messed up and accidently deleted my sound card driver :-[, even tho i was trying to get the volume control on my toolbar.

I have been trying to use Real player media and the computer help reference to reinstall the driver with no luck at all.


I get this error message when i try to play any mp3 files "cannot open the audio device, another application maybe using it"


My computer is running Windows XP and my computer speakers are Altec Lansing.

Thanks for any help in advanced. :)

Click START>right click "my computer">properties>hardware tab>device manager

Next to where is says, "sound, video, and game controllers" click on the "+"sign.  On the submenu, right-click on the Reltek (or whatever driver it is suppose to be) Audio Controller  Then click on "update" and see if Windows will get you another driver on the Internet....When you first go into Device Manager, there may be a yellow exclamation point or red X on the problematic item.....if there is a red X, simply right click and then click "enable", then see if your sound is back.....If there is a yellow exclamation point....just right click on it and click "update" !!

If you don't see any "Audio Controllers" in the sub menu, restart the computer and tap the F8 key, when you enter Advanced Options, select "last know good configuration" and see if your audio driver returns.

Do you have a sound card, or is it onboard?
What do you mean by "onboard" ?
I'm almost certain i had a sound card - the thing that i accidently deleted was called "Sound Max"

If you have a sound card, turn off your computer and unplug it...open the case, and pull out the sound card and start up your computer again....Once your computer fully boots, shut down your computer again and reinstall the sound card and see if Windows will recognize it and install a driver.

edit: the difference is that a card is something you can install or uninstall.  Onboard means the card is integrated into the motherboard and cannot be disconnected. If it is onboard then it will appear that your speakers are plugged into some motherboard ports on the back of the computer....If you have a card installed, then your speakers will be plugged into the sound card ( the sound card itself plugs into one of the "slots" on the motherboard

What is your actual issue here?
Do you have Windows sounds?
What's computer brand, and model?

this is a good question because he said he "deleted" his sound card driver, and I'm not exactly sure what he means ::)

It's a dell model is Ohm  and i've had it for about a year but i'm pretty sure it's not new (if you could tell me where to find when it was made i can tell you for sure)
and yes i can hear a "ding" sound sometimes but that's it.
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: Broni on June 03, 2009, 10:57:13 PM
I've never heard of Dell Ohm, and I don't see any reference to any name like this on Google.
Is it desktop, or laptop?

Desktop .

Maybe it's Dhm?
 i'm sorry but i have a migraine and the words are kinda small to read right now.

Post by: Broni on June 03, 2009, 11:19:48 PM
Well, it's to far for me to see :)
Because Dell is rather picky, regarding drivers, we need to know the model?
Do you have any errors in Device Manager?
See, if Irfanview will play any mp3: http://www.irfanview.com/
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: curefreak on June 03, 2009, 11:28:22 PM
There looks to be some errors under "other devices" there is a yellow question mark there and under that is a question mark under "ethernet controller" and "multimedia controller" ???
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: Broni on June 03, 2009, 11:37:02 PM
We still need to know what Dell model it is.
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: hot dog on June 03, 2009, 11:49:18 PM
For the make and model....Click START>right click "my computer">click "properties"

IN the general tab there should be some info., for instance, the make and model :)


When I go into "my computer"> properties, the general tab says my make and model is eMachines  Model W2247

Post by: curefreak on June 04, 2009, 12:05:03 AM
The information there doesn't pertain to the make and model of the computer just what's inside of it like the pentium and intel.

By the way that irfan view has messed up my browser and i can't get it back to the way it was and i don't think that plays music at all.
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: Broni on June 04, 2009, 12:16:35 AM
It sure does.
How could Irfanview messed up your browser?
As for Dell model, look at the front panel, maybe some label on the back, side...
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: curefreak on June 04, 2009, 12:59:13 AM
Well i accidently clicked on the google desktop and it popped up over on the right side and moved my browser about a third of the way over and i couldn't get it back , but uninstalled all of it and now it works fine.

How the *censored* does IRfanview use mp3's ? i only saw uses for pictures. ???

The sticker on the side  says dell computer corperation and model DHM
and manufacturing date is 100303.
 ???

That's how:

(http://209.85.48.8/228/109/upload/p4370632.gif)

Irfanview opens graphic, video, and music files.

I found some reference to DHM series. It may be some of Optiplex GX models. See, if you can find some more info on that label.

Also...

Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html)
Open it.
In left pane expand Computer folder.
Click once on Summary
In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary
Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
Don't include anything under the line Debug - PCI

Also, on that label Dell's service tag number should be listed.

Yes it's a optiplex gx series and the service tag is jkm1m31.

So, we have OptiPlex GX270: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=JKM1M31&SystemID=PLX_PNT_CEL_GX270&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=

As for your sound, since you do have Windows sound, but you can't play mp3, I don't think, it's a driver issue, but a player issue.
It won't hurt, though to reinstall your chipset driver - Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R58201&SystemID=PLX_PNT_CEL_GX270&servicetag=JKM1M31&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=3268&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=27&fileid=70069

As for "ethernet adapter"....I can see, your computer originally came with Intel Gigabit adapter, but Everest says, you have Linksys NC100 Fast Ethernet Adapter, so I assume, someone installed new network card, at some point. If your internet connection is fine, we won't do anything here.

What should i do after downloading it?
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: Broni on June 04, 2009, 08:50:59 PM
Just double click on downloaded file.

Post by: curefreak on June 04, 2009, 09:23:58 PM
I already did that :) just not sure what to do next.

Post by: Broni on June 04, 2009, 09:25:34 PM
Check, if you can play mp3 file with Irfanview.
If you don't like Irfanview, try Winamp.

Post by: curefreak on June 04, 2009, 11:02:04 PM
It means that i'm still getting the same error message as before in win amp.
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: Broni on June 04, 2009, 11:10:34 PM
"cannot open the audio device, another application maybe using it"
With Winamp??
...or you're still playing with ReakPlayer for which that error message is pretty common...

I am wondering, if this problem comes up in Safe Mode? Just curious.
Title: Re: Sound Card
Post by: Broni on June 04, 2009, 11:26:24 PM
I'm simply suspecting, curefreak is not telling us the truth, because I've heard a lot about "cannot open the audio device, another application maybe using it" on RealPlayer, but not on any other application.

well, if curefreak would only just post a screenshot of the error he is specifically seeing to show us that it definitely is happening with other software like winamp and that he is not just playing with us here, that would be good I think?

Try the Ctrl button then the PrtScr, then paste to M$ paint. This works at least for me.

Ok maybe a made a mistake or something cause i think i might be getting a new error message from Win Amp i'm not sure if i have posted this before.

Anyways win amp is now saying bad directsound driver. please install proper drivers or select another device for configuration.
Error code 88780078.

I'm sorry if there's been a misunderstanding guys.

I also think this could be a symptom of a larger problem my computer has froze three times just trying to play a song on win amp and posting the error message on here and i started a scan on mcafee and there was at least one problem before it froze and i had to restart.


My browser has been saying it's corrupted everytime i start it and i can't figure out how to get it uncorrupted, ive tried to reinstall it but it makes no difference.

At the end, it looks like you need a new sound card. In my opinion, your on-board sound chip is dying.

Would it be easy to install? i might have to have you guys show me where to put it i'm sure.

Do you know why my browser keeps saying it's been corrupted?

try creating new firefox profile, following instructions on this website which is straight from the mozilla guys:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows

If firefox problem is still existing even with fresh new profile created, it's probably some malware or something else casuing firefox havock and not the firefox software itself.

Opera is the one that's causing the corruption errors tho.

Sorry for taking so long to reply but something keeps hi-jacking my browser to where i can't download those other two programs.

If someone could give me some tips on how to get around that i would appreciate it.

That's one of the problems very possibly caused by an infection.
