Second time I ran the Audio Drivers section of the CD hoping it would pick up on the file.
MICROSOFT HD AUDIO DRIVER WINDOWS 8 INSTALL
I missed running the CD the first time I tried to install the file. I'm not sure in this description when they are referring to the CD and when to the downloaded executable file. The system will reload the drivers and do some adjustments in the INF Finally, select to restart the system and press to complete "Digital Signature Not Found" message, press to continue the Insert the "Realtek HD Audio Drivers" CD into the CD-ROMĭrive and run the setup.exe program to finish the installation. button if Windows detect the Multimedia Audio device. Before installing the Realtek HD Audio Drivers, Press the I've downloaded the driver from Realtek and tried to follow the obscure installation instructions - but installation failed! Rechecking Device Manager before sending this post - Other Devices has disappeared and the problem marked by ' !

I believe the other device (Location 65535) has now taken over this role as the hardware needing but unable to install.
It searches on the Intel CD but always fails to find what it wants. Many times since starting all this yesterday a Wizard pops up claiming new hardware - a PCI device - has been found which it wants to install. I tried to run Realtek Audio drivers from the CD anyway, but it failed as it has always done so far. The Wizard found a Realtek driver and began transferring files but then stopped and failed to install with Message: The device's co-installer is invalid. I inserted the Intel MBoard/Drivers CD & clicked reinstall. Message: This device is not configured correctly (Code 1) - Reinstall Driver.

I had uninstalled SP3 but after your briefing reinstalled it (takes ages!) Some of the recommended actions worked - but the result is still failure. We need to understand what works and what doesn't, and your feedback is essential. Please report back on this, as I cannot verify these instructions directly, as I have no access to any HD Audio device.
Please note that "C:\WINDOWS\inf" is a hidden folder, and you first need to turn on the viewing of hidden files and folders in control panel "Fodler Options", tab "View".Īfter that, you should be able to install your Realtek HD Audio device drivers, as they will deetct the presence of the UAA bus. Pantechnicon, you should be able to switch on SP3's built-in support for the UAA bus by right-clickingĪnd selecting "Install". It appears that some of these hardware/OEM manufacturers have packaged KB888111 with their driver installer, which now fails to install under SP3, because KB888111 chokes. SP3, however, does not include any drivers for individual HD Audio devices, which need to be provided by the hardware manufacturers or OEMs. KB888111 will not install under SP3, and nor should it, because SP3 already includes the HD Audio (UAA) bus support that is part of KB888111.
