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 Had a look online but other links are wildly out of date.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.

    • I only had time to watch a few minutes of the keynote, but I get the impression that there isn't going to be that much to excite me with iOS/iPadOS/watchOS 26. Unifying aspects of all of the OSes I think in general has merit, but I do think Liquid Glass is largely nonsense and just fluff. I hope sheeple people don't drool over something as Liquid Glass. Some of this just seems to be shuffling the deck chairs of the Titanic botch job of Apple Intelligence and how largely useless Siri has been for 10 years. It ticks me off more than anything. Liquid Glass is just a retread from previous macOS and Windows releases (as everyone has stated). Improve things you already released (including Shortcuts and Automations) instead of giving me fluff.
    • I’m kind of wonder about said crowed as well…
    • Oh I didn't forget. This just show all around they are out of ideas now. Old UI is old UI. Having said that, I want the classic Windows theme back as an option in Win11. And I still say they copied Vista here. That doesn't look as much like Aqua to me.
    • Windows XP had a fantastic start menu, that for someone like me who doesn't like to spend a lot of times customizing things, worked fantastically!! I actually liked the Windows 7 menu a little better, the right-column of options was a little more useful, and it has a more appropriate number of frequently used apps (on XP you could increase this, which I always did). I never liked the 8/8.1 start screen at all, although I did like the concept of widgets. Windows 10's start menu seems like a great way to blend the good things about the Windows 7 menu with widgets, which I thought seemed promising. However, with widgets never becoming popular, it left the Windows 10 start menu looking like an ugly mess. I am not a huge fan of the Windows 11 start menu, but it looks clean and doesn't get in my way.
    • I think a lot of this is preemptive on the potential losing Google default search money which can hurt them.
