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 Had a look online but other links are wildly out of date.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

 

Aryeh Goretsky

 

 

 

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.

    • Hi guys. Having some trouble with an MSI MAG Tomahawk B760 WiFi DDR5 motherboard. I want Thunderbolt and my motherboard has a TB Header on the base of the board. The USBC on the back is just a USB C port but I really want a Thunderbolt port because of a piece of hardware I've just bought. I'm looking for either a header I can connect direct to the board or a PCI Card I can connect. Does anyone know what I need or where I can get help? Thanks
    • I do not want every single browser to be based on Chromium. The main reason I use Firefox is because it's not based on Chromium.
    • Insert "but Lundluke is xyz" like he is lying. Yes, people on Neowin don't like him. I don't actively follow him either but in that particular one he is correct, he is not lying.
    • That guy is an idiot. Why can't you plainly answer my question?
