windows xp sp1 - no sound

sylkis · Aug 4, 2010, 04:39 AM

Hi,

what version of kX drivers is the most recommended for xp sp1? I tried installing the newest, but it results in no sound at all.

Before installing I had sound from default M$ drivers, after installing kX there's nothing. After uninstalling (and using driversweeper just in case) the sound got back. I tried installing again and it resulted in no sound same as before.

I guess it is because I use xp without sp2/sp3, am I right? I see that kX used to support older windows systems, but it doesn't anymore, so I guess it's probable.

Anyawy, which relase is the newest that still supports xp sp1? Cause trying relases one by one sounds like a loooong way to go... and I am NOT going to install any newer service packs and loose PAE and efficiency of my PC overall.

Cheers

With XP I used to use 3545b for a long time and it worked great. It was sometimes with 3546 that 64bit showed up etc.

did you use it on sp1 or newer version of XP?
I'm also wondering if the driver has problems with PAE kernel. I use it because I have 4GB of ram and legal 32-bit copy of windows xp sp1 and not feel like buying 64bit windows 7 nor stealing it, and I want to use all the memory that I have both for musical purposes, and games as well

and with sp2 and later PAE doesn't work anymore.

edit:
I tried the relase you suggested. It doen't work either

there is no sound at all.

Before you over-complicate the issue of no sound, did you catch the fact that KX uses the rear output as default?

oh.
I thought it's optional and didn't check if the switch is on by deafult. you are right, it was about the output, my bad

great thanks!
