Dear PP,

Many thanks. I ran the MS DOS instructions as you suggested and first it found that the disk was NTFS, then finally the message came 'Windows found not problems'. After re-booting, the CHECKDISK on I message did not appear. Hopefully all is now well.

As to ESET, I un-installed and re-installed and the icon now appears. We will see if it continues. In the meantime many thanks for your help.

In the meantime many thanks for your help.

You're welcome - Happy to help :)

-- I believe that you still need to run the chkdsk I: /x in order to remove the dirty bit setting on the drive. Otherwise, subsequent reboots may experience the same problem....

Dear PP,

Perhaps you could help me with another problem which has occurred during the course of these changes that I have been making to the system. The Soundmax icon in the System Tray has a red line through it and the message as in the title above. Also clicking the Souncmax icon in the start menu does not start Soundmax.
This appears to be a problem which other people on the web experience and I have tried some of their suggestions to no avail. One was to download a new Soundmax driver, but finding one is another matter. My Motherboard is an ASUSTek P5PE-VM. For some reason I cannot download a new driver from ASUS. Pressing the 'go' button does not work. Any help would be gratefully received.

Dear PP,

Perhaps you could help me with another problem which has occurred during the course of these changes that I have been making to the system. The Soundmax icon in the System Tray has a red line through it and the message as in the title above. . . . .

I'd like to take a step back and double-check a few things:

Please run DDS by sUBs as per the linky below and post the resulting scanlogs for me. (#3 & scroll down to near the end of the link where it says After the initial cleaning)

http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread134865.html

Post both of those for me and we'll go from there.

Cheers :)
PP

Dear PP,

Many thanks for the quick response. I down;loaded DDS and ran it, but no scanlog appeared. I then diabled my ESET security temporarily, and then received the following: Moggie

"UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED, DO NOT POST THIS LOG.
IF REQUESTED, ZIP IT UP & ATTACH IT

============= FINISH: 20:59:19.18 ===============

I am sorry that I did not realize that there were two logs to send to you. Herewith the second.....

No worries - looks like you have been doing a lot lately.

I'm not sure if the soundmax issue is related to anything we've done here. Certainly not the HJT stuff as those were harmless. Though, I didn't see the 04 SMax4PNP.exe in the last log - but if that were the issue, there'd probably be no tray icon at all....

-- Do you have sound?

Open a command prompt and type SC SoundMAX Agent Service >> C:\LogIt.txt Enter and please post the contents of C:\LogIt.txt for me.

There are some minor cleanup / housecleaning issues in the DDS, but we can leave them for later.

PP:)

Dear Phillie P,

Many thanks. I did what you said. I changed the prompt to C:\ and then copied an pasted your text. Nothing happened. I tried it twice more including typing in the text rather than copying. This is an exact copy of the text that I entered.

C:\>SC SoundMAX Agent Service >> C:\LogIt.txt

Yours,

Moggie

This is an exact copy of the text that I entered.
C:\>SC SoundMAX Agent Service >> C:\LogIt.txt

Sorry - my fault - it should read; SC QUERY SoundMAX Agent Service >> C:\LogIt.txt

I must've pasted Soundmax agent service over query... geez. I'm getting too old for this :)

If there is no resulting LogIt.txt (though there should be), SC QUERY SoundMAX Agent Service will return the status of the service in question.

Likewise, you can do START > RUN > type SERVICES.MSC and verify proper running that way....

PP:)

Dear pp,
The second query - SC QUERY SOUNDmax agent did not work. It returned:

Would you like to see help for the QUERY and QUERYEX commands? [ y | n ]:"
So I ran soundmax.msc and found the message

"Soundmax agent started .. local system"

Yours,

Moggie

Dear PP,

Here is some further information. The path for Soundmax is :
C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Soundmax\SMAgent.exe and the start-up type is automatic.

Yours,

Moggie

The second query - SC QUERY SOUNDmax agent did not work.

OK - well, it probably has a different service name. Probably something shorter.
If you want, you can just use sc query ENTER at command prompt to list all the services and find what the abbreviated name is...

But, since you were able to verify that it was set to "automatic" and started, we need to look elsewhere.
I'm not altogether familiar with SoundMAX, but there must be some way to fix this short of re-installing drivers.

Let me see if I can find a Microsoft KB or other info that addresses this.

PP:)

EDIT: Access services again and locate Windows Audio Service and make sure that it is set to Automatic and Started.
Just a thought...

Dear PP,

It is now Wednesday morning here in the UK. Hence the delay in answering your last post. Windows Audio Service is 'started' and set to automatic

It is now Wednesday morning here in the UK. Hence the delay in answering your last post. Windows Audio Service is 'started' and set to automatic

No worries - You're probably 5-6 hours ahead of me + I am currently working long and odd hours.... One of the pitfalls of support forums, I suppose.

-- When did this soundmax problem start with regard to what we were trying to do with the other issues?

I'm still digging around - hang in there!

PP:)

Dear P.P. to be precise is not easy. I believe that this problem with Soundmax started at the same time as the others that e have been discussing. It and these others followed in time after my installation of software for the HP 6110 officejet all-in-one and during the same period of time I was also installing version 8 of Second copy. Incidentally I have had problems with version 8 and have gone back to version 7.

I would try installing new software for Soundmax, but I cannot find any from an official 'Soundmax' sites. There are lots of others which purport to have Soundmax available for download, but you have to subscribe to some general software downloading service first.

Yours,

Maurice

Dear PP Further reply

I have just looked in the Soundmax Folder. The first 5 subfolders - Demo Help Logs Res and Test are all empty. The only .exe file in Soundmax is is a DLS loader for and the only install file is for Windows 2000 - DDK

Also I have remembered that no so long ago I installed MS Office 2003 in place of Office 2000. There is an MS Outlook file in the current Soundmax folder - odd

Yours,

Maurice

Dear PP. - Third reply. I also went into Soundmax properties via Devices Manager and it returned 'the device is working properly'. It is manufactured by Analog Systems Inc.

Yours,

Maurice

I also went into Soundmax properties via Devices Manager and it returned 'the device is working properly'. It is manufactured by Analog Systems Inc.

Hey, Maurice - I was going to ask about Device Manager. Did you try updating the driver via the wizard in Device Manager? I think you can get to this either via "properties" od by RightClicking on the SoundMax entry....
Though, I suspect it may ask for a disc and any online option may fail. But, worth a try nonetheless.

The thing is, you're not getting a message that the driver did not load or any other driver error.... + the service is running.

There is an MS Outlook file in the current Soundmax folder - odd

Odd indeed - Heck, I don't even have a SoundMax folder that I know of.

I would try installing new software for Soundmax, but I cannot find any from an official 'Soundmax' sites. There are lots of others which purport to have Soundmax available for download, but you have to subscribe to some general software downloading service first.

There must be a reputable site out there.
I'm just a bit reluctant to to go the uninstall/reinstall route just yet given the possible problems.

Did you look at START > CONTROL PANEL > SOUND + AUDIO DEVICES > AUDIO TAB > SOUND PLAYBACK ?
Make sure that the Default setting is SoundMAX.

-- You know, it strikes me as annoying that Soundmax or HP (and the like) cannot be bothered to have solid support for what must be fairly common problems... LOL!


PP:)

Dear PP.

Many thanks; since it is now 23.30 here. I will try your useful suggestions in the morning.

Yours,

Maurice

Dear PP,

Many thanks. I tried updating the driver via the Device Manager wizard. It asked for a CD (I do not have one to hand and cannot think where one would be) and then I asked it to serch elsewhere. It replied that it "could not find a better match for your hardware than that currently installed".
I also checked AUDIO DEVICES etc and SoundMAX is indeed the default setting for SOUND PLAYBACK

Yours,

Maurice

I tried updating the driver via the Device Manager wizard.... SoundMAX is indeed the default setting for SOUND PLAYBACK

Well, shoot.... I do not know what to try next. I'm positive that there is a simple solution beyond reinstalling, but I don't know where to find it.

-- Let's look at Device Manager one more time and see if your Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator is functioning properly. Expand "System Devices" to find it.

-- I reckon you could try installing SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio 6.10.1.5860 and see if that clears things up. In a perfect world, it should reset everything.... 'Course we live in a far from perfect world.....

Cheers :)
PP

The Plug and play software device enumerator is working fine. I then downloaded Soundmax.....5860. I am running Windows XP of course. Unfortunately when I tried to install, I got the message "Installation failed. The operating system is not supported by this software". I then looked at the ReadMe file and found the following. I am not sure what to make of it. Since it is now 23.20 here, I am just off to bed. Yours, Maurice


"--Note 2: On Windows XP/2000 (early versisn of 2003) you need to install a QFE to allow an HD Audio driver
to installation. This QFE is made available by Microsoft, and it is required to update Operating
System components before installing the audio driver. The QFE contains the required files and a
readme which outlines installation procedure. This QFE and these files are distributed by Microsoft
only, please contact them directly if you need to get them.

Note 3: Microsoft(R) DirectX 9.0 or later is required


INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:


Installation or Update of Analog Devices SoundMAX Audio Driver

Note 1: It is always best to remove any previously installed SoundMAX driver from the system
before installing a new driver.

Note 2: On XP/2000/2003 Operating systems if Windows detects the audio device hit Cancel then proceed to Step 1.


1. Browse to the SoundMAX driver files location and double click setup.exe

2. When installing,the SoundMAX Install dialog box appears. In the dialog box, press Next.
When upgrading or reinstalling, "Setup Type" dialog box appears. In the dialog box, select "Reinstall or
Upgrade" radio button, then press Next.

3. Click on the Next and OK prompts as they appear.

4. Windows XP/2000/2003: Reboot the system to complete the installation.


Removal of Analog Devices SoundMAX Audio Driver

1. Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel or click on Start -> Control Panel (depending on OS).

2. Double-click on the Add/Remove programs icon.

3. Click on SoundMAX driver item from the list.

4. Click Change/Remove. (A dialog box appears). In the dialog box, select Remove all and then press Next.

5. Reboot the system to fully uninstall the drivers.


UNATTENDED (SILENT) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unattended installations use an Install Shield Silent Response File (setup.iss)
to provide user input.


Running an Unattended (Silent) Installation

1. Run SETUP.EXE as described in the installation section above, but with
the -s parameter from the command line (From the task bar, click on Start -> Run).

2. In the Run dialog box, type X:\path\setup -s (where X is the path to the SoundMAX driver files)

NOTE: When running an installation in silent mode, no messages are displayed.
Instead, a log file (typically named Setup.log) captures installation information,
including whether the installation was successful.


Running an Unattended (Silent) Uninstallation

1. Run SETUP.EXE as described in the installation section above, but with
the -s and REMOVE parameters from the command line (From the task bar, click on Start -> Run).

2. In the Run dialog box, type X:\path\setup -s REMOVE (where X is the path to the SoundMAX driver files)


3. Reboot the system to fully uninstall the drivers.


***********************************************************************
This driver is built for the Microsoft(R) Windows Operating Systems.

I got the message "Installation failed. The operating system is not supported by this software". I then looked at the ReadMe file and found the following. I am not sure what to make of it.. . . . On Windows XP/2000 (early versisn of 2003) you need to install a QFE to allow an HD Audio driver
to installation. This QFE is made available by Microsoft, and it is required .....

Wow . . . I guess I should've learned by now that nothing is easy.

Try this --> Microsoft QFE Update (KB835221)

Hey, at least they included a "ReadMe" for you to follow. So I guess that's something... ;)


PP:)

Dear P.P.,

Many thanks. I managed to download the QFE update easily, but when I started to install, I received the message:

"This is only to be used on HP consumer PC's pre-installed with Windows XP. Your PC does not match this requirement and so the installation is being aborted."

It is odd that the shape and colour of the icon for the QFE update is the same as that of the icon for setup.exe in the downloaded HP 5860 file.

Yours,

Maurice

Dear PP,

Further reply. The mystery deepens. This morning I remembered that I had Driver Detective installed. When I did a search on the web for drivers for the ASUS P5PE-VM board, Driver Detective came up as a possible way. So I downloaded and installed, during the installation saying 'yes' to overwriting a newer version of the driver. Unfortunately that did not work. So I experimented with the various icons in the Soundmax folder and found that when I opened "Smax 4 (control Panel Extension), Soundmax itself opened and the blue Soundmax Icon in the System tray lost its red bar. However, I copied the Smax 4 folder to the desk top and created a shortcut there as well and then re-started the computer. Clicking on the Smax 4 (open with Control Panel), produced nothing. I clicked around again in the Soundmax folder itself and managed to open the Soundmax Control Panel properly and the icon in the system appeared in its normal blue again. This is all very odd.

One other interesting point:clicking 'about' on the Soundmax icon in the system tray returns 'Soundmax v. 5': All the files in the Soundmax folder refer to version 4.

I have also checked that Windows Media Player is working well.

Yours,

Maurice

Dear PP,

Another piece of possibly interesting information - when teh Soundmax icon in the system tray has a red bar across it, clicking 'about' just returns a list 'Preferences' About Smax, exit'. When the icon is fully blue, 'about' returns in addition 'Smax control panel', 'Windows Media Player' and 'DLS Loader'.

Yours,

Maurice

This is all very odd.

I think that's the quote of the day!

This really sounds like something we ought to be able to repair rather simply rather than go through what may be a difficult re-installation process.

I have gotten myself roped into some family business and will most likely be away from compy much of the weekend - just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't think I deserted you or anything like that. :)

Can we pick this up on Monday?

PP

What the heck was HP doing to create that whacking great list of restore points? You can reduce the size of your sysrestore folder so that you don't have quite so many RPs. But with HP on board it does seem that you do actually need quite a few. Wow.... HP n M$.... guns at noon.
"So I experimented with the various icons in the Soundmax folder and found that when I opened "Smax 4 (control Panel Extension), Soundmax itself opened and the blue Soundmax Icon in the System tray lost its red bar."
"The path for Soundmax is : C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Soundmax\SMAgent.exe and the start-up type is automatic."
Weird logs. Last RP with Smax is for its removal. Yet it is there later in the DDS as installed. Fine. I guess.
Anyway.... this is the startup entry in your reg: mRun: [SoundMax] "c:\program files\analog devices\soundmax\Smax4.exe" /tray
Is that the exe you clicked?
Does this exist in the folder: C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Core\smax4pnp.exe ? Is it the one you clicked?
If so create [add] another mrun key the same as the one above, but [SoundMAXPnP] = "C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Core\smax4pnp.exe"
And restart.
Back to you, PP.

Back to you, PP.

Hey - feel free to chime in with any suggestions, my friend!

I'm pretty much away from the compy until Monday evening EST + Maurice is across the pond, so things are dragging out a bit.

PP:)

Dear PP,

Many thanks. I too have been away over Saturday night. In any case I am grateful for any time that you can spare. I have just posted a reply, but it asked me to log in as a new user and then said that the name was taken already. So I had to lose the post and start again.

First question, I did indeed click "C:\program files\ analog devices\SoundmaxSmax4.exe.

Second, there is no 'Core' folder within Analog Devices. Soundmax is the only folder there.

Third, I did also run Smax4pnp.exe. I have run it again now and immediately the red mark disappeared from the Soundmax icon in the system tray and Soundmax control panel was 'available. I the re-started the computer as you suggested, but the Soundmax icon was now crossed out in red and 'Soundmax audio was not present' and 'You cannot use Soundmax Control Panel'.

Yours,

Maurice
