This Version of audioESP is not intended for this operating system


Recommended Posts

Don't understand.

 

I have an Asus P50 motherboard (it's a bit old now) and I used a driver update utility (yeah, yeah, I know!) to update the audio driver on the PC.

 

Since using it, I get this error (in the title) when turning on the PC and have no audio. Had a look online but other links are wildly out of date.

 

If I uninstall the all the audio drivers and restart, it comes up with this box and I have audio and will continue to show this error when restarting the PC.

 

I don't have a dedicated sound card.

Running Windows 10 Pro.

 

It mentions sound max exe files so if I navigate to as many soundmax.exe files as Windows can find and set them to compatability mode, it doesn't change anything.

 

Sometimes I can delete them, I think. Sometimes not as they're "in use". 

 

I've had a look at the manufacturer website and I can't seem to find any drivers.

 

Windiws can't find any others apart from what it automatically installs.

 

The driver update utility was good with all other drivers, just not this one. It currently shows the installed driver as 2012, but there is a 2016 version.

 

Any ideas? 

I live by, if it aint broken, don't fix it.

 

BUT if the update doesn't give you some perks, I'd leave it.

 

Can't you go back to your older driver?

Hello,

 

From what I have been table to determine, the Asus P5Q-e motherboard uses an Analog Devices AD2000b sound chip.

 

The latest device drivers I could find in the Windows Update Catalog for it are these Windows 8 drivers:

 

x86 - https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=829c1bc7-31e4-4ed7-a8a0-9339ca5b8e64

x64 - https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=c8237b3c-0250-4bf4-a2bf-d3e644afadee

 

They may work fine under Windows 10 as well.

 

Regards,

Hmm.

Couldn't find the win 8 driver download (but a useful site, nonetheless). 

 

However, have visited the Realtek website and downloaded an auto installer from there, as well as two other install files for things so will give those a try and see.

    • Good to see Microsoft focussing on the important Windows 11 issues.
    • That's right, people who don't like something despite justifying why should merely be dismissed as haters. Fine then, lets just dismiss Microsoft as a New Outlook fanboy.
    • I'm dyslexic, in "classic" outlook for the last 20 years I have been able to easily select a misspelt word and ask Outlook to auto correct it. This "feature" has disappeared in the New Outlook hot garbage.
    • And we think AI can take over lower level programmers jobs? Just search for the SHA hash for the "rogue" sound file and delete it.
    • Meta will use AI to summarize your WhatsApp messages by David Uzondu Recently, Meta announced that ads are coming to WhatsApp, appearing in Status and Channels. Now, another update is on its way, this time in the form of a new feature called "Message Summaries", that leverages Meta's AI to summarize your chats for you. For those moments when you are drowning in unread messages, you can choose to have the AI generate a quick summary to get the gist of a conversation. To address the immediate privacy alarms this sets off, Meta says that its "Private Processing technology" will be used. This supposedly ensures that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can see your original messages or the private summaries the AI generates. To prove its sincerity, Meta published a deep technical white paper that explains how this privacy is supposed to be maintained. In the technical documentation, Meta explains the way it works is built on "Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)". These TEEs are essentially secure, isolated black boxes running on a server, powered by hardware like NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Your phone establishes a direct, encrypted connection to one of these TEEs, sends the message data for processing, and receives the summary. Meta's own administrators and other systems supposedly cannot peek inside this box. And when the job is done, no message is retained. The security of the entire system hinges on being able to trust that this TEE is what it claims to be. Meta's system uses a process called remote attestation. Before your phone sends any data, it demands proof from the server. This proof is a cryptographic report, signed by the hardware itself, verifying that the TEE is running the exact, unmodified software that Meta has publicly logged with a third party like Cloudflare. Only if that proof checks out does the connection proceed. Users will have control over this process. The feature is off by default, and a setting under "Advanced Chat Privacy" will let you specify which chats can be shared for AI features. Message Summaries is currently rolling out in English for users in the US, with Meta planning for a global expansion sometime next year.
