For those who are experiencing problems with their speakers, doing a little computer
handy-man project would not hurt a thing. Sometimes, the speakers are not the
actual problem; it may also be the audio drive. This article shall provide tips
and strategies on how one can fix those audio driver XP problems.
The Problem
Straightforwardly, what is the problem? There can be a lot of loose strings
tangling over the audio drive that makes the audio performance of the computer
poor. Let's try to see how tangled these things are. Check to see if any of
these problems are present. If you see a check mark, then it can be that the
audio drive is not working well.
• There are no audible sounds coming out of those speakers and headphones.
• The sound plays - but suddenly stops.
• The music player indicates that the song is running, but there's no sound!
• The sound skips some areas, and sometimes becomes incomprehensible.
• The sound is distorted.
• Computer stops responding, hangs, or restarts when the sound is played
• Error messages display after the sound is played. Error messages go like this:
"WAV sound playback error detected."
"MIDI output error detected."
"No wave device that can play files in the current format is installed."
"The CD Audio device is in use by another application."
"Your audio hardware cannot play files like the current file."
The Solution
There are four possible solutions to these said problems. It is advisable to
try the first solution first before the next. Also, do make sure that the
speakers or headphones are on and that the sound volume is set to an audible
level.
Solution #1: Troubleshoot - using the Windows XP Sound Troubleshooter
Troubleshooting is the first option. To fix the problem automatically, just
click the Fix It button and the Run Now after. A set of steps would be
displayed in the FixIt wizard, just follow the steps and answer them honestly.
On the other hand, to fix the problem manually, the Windows XP Sound
troubleshooter will present on-screen questions, follow the steps correctly and
answer the questions honestly. The troubleshooter is going to find a solution
to the problem.
Solution #2: Do an Update for the audio driver XP
It could be that an outdated audio driver is the one causing the problem.
Use the Microsoft Update to help in identifying if the current audio driver is
the latest version. Microsoft Update will also display available audio drivers
for an update. Manufacturers usually update their drivers every month, so be
sure to check for the latest. Also, if the audio driver is the problem, fix it
by downloading a different driver. But be sure to choose the best and the most
compatible one. To be safe, use a driver software database or a driver finder.
Solution #3: Check the Media Player
If one is using the Windows Media Player, it is possible that the problem is
with this program and not with the audio driver. Make sure that the WMP is
updated.
Solution #4: Attach another sound device
If the three steps above didn't work, try using a different device this time. Change into a different speaker or headphone that is definitely working.
On the other hand, if all else fails, then the last resort can either be:
calling for customer support or calling the technician to come over and do some
repairs. Either way, what is important is that the problem with the audio
driver XP is cleared out.
