HDA Audio bus driver is required and not found

HDA Audio bus driver is required and not found.

 
  • Step 1

Go to Start > Run and type Regedit

  • Step 2

This will open up Windows Registry Editor. Next, follow the location of the key below by navigation through the little [+] signs you see next to the folders.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\CDSVersion

  • Step 3

Change the value of the CSDVersion Dword and give it the value 200.

  • Step 4

Try to install your driver again, you should not get the error this time. Once installed, restart your computer and resotre the registry key back to 300.

Note: The 300 refers to the service pack you are running. In this example we fooled windows into thinking we had service pack 2, although we are actually running service pack 3!

Once you have restarted your machine you should have a fully working sound driver.

Thank you.

This error can be caused by a bios option. If your bios has the audio option set to off or disabled, you will see this error. Turn on any audio options you see in your bios and then try again.

hi,

I've the same problem. I got IBM Z60m, XP SP3, all the time i didn't have any problem with my audio driver, then I lost the sound while I was playing NFS. Scinse, then I couldn't get it back.I've tried everything, reinstalling OS, various drivers and nothing works, and the weird thing that every time I get that the driver is ok, when i check my system properties i can see the driver (SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio)with no problems, speakers on the taskbar and mediaplayer works fine but no sound. Any advice, Help please

HP should hire you. They just give general answers to do everything you have already done, then suggest you contact your network manager, which is yourself.

IE "ask someone else"

Thanks for the info and keep up the good work.
