FIX3

another reported working fix taken from http://googooster.blogspot.com/2008/01/ ... error.html (http://googooster.blogspot.com/2008/01/fixing-microsoft-bus-driver-error.html)


Today, I'd just installed XP SP3 and got 'Microsoft Bus Driver' error message while installing Realtek HD Audio driver. I know it occurs on SP2 and can be fix by installing 'kb888111xpsp2.exe' hotfix from MSHDQFE folder under the main driver folder. But I got the message '....this service pack version is newer than this update...'. I got annoyed with SP3 and, finally, I found the solution.

1. Open 'kb888111xpsp2.exe' file with WinRar and extract the 'commonfiles' folder.
2. Update 'PCI Bus' unknown device by pointing the 'commonfiles' folder you've just extarcted.
3. Install the Realtek HD audio driver.

Winrar can be downloaded here.

If either of the KB**** files do not download (they are exe files and some security software may stop the download) they can both be downloaded here (in a RAR file), you need to extract the files before using them.

Thank you Danno,
This fixed the issue no problem.
No that I am fully up and running I am pleasantly suprised at the quality of the hardware.
Sound in all its glory.....

I'd also very much like to add my thanks too. I must admit to having a few reservations before using the Support Chat facility yesterday. However, after a brief Q&A session, a link was quickly provided to this page and... Bingo!

Customer Support to such a high standard is a rare commodity these days. I hope you never lose that gift as Novatech continues to grow with its success.

Oh, and whatever you're paying Danno, it's not enough! :wink:

PS. Perhaps it may be appropriate to, in future, enclose those instructions with every notebook shipped that uses this driver.

thats good to hear it fixed the problem. its a bit of an odd problem because it only affects some systems.

Finally got the sound working. (WinXP SP3) I found I needed to use fix 3 to update the driver before disabling and uninstalling the UAA (between steps 1 and 2). Then after the reboot the device was correctly discovered and I could install the realtech drivers from the Foxconn disc. Bit of a palaver but all is forgiven. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
