Question about 'Sound Driver Problems'

Hey all, got a problem. I have XP with all the latest updates. I was using the onboard sound on my soyo dragon motherboard and a week ago XP stopped recognizing my sound driver. It keeps saying that it's new hardware and when I go to install the driver for it, it gives me the error "The data is invalid." It's the newest driver for it. I just bought a SoundBlaster 16 and it says the same thing. Any idea's

had the same problem, check this site out. I tried everything myself from changing regedit to trying all drivers but this is what solved my problem. Its to do with service pack 2: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810882 I also cut and pasted the service cab files to another folder. when i restarted and reinstalled i had to search for some of the files myself but it worked best of luck

re: Same problem for USB driver

This isn't working for me. My XP system won't recognize my SanDisk Sansa m230 MP3 player. At first it worked in MTP mode but not MSC mode. In following the SanDisk tech support guy's instructions to fix the problem, it now is broken in MTP mode as well. Same symptoms as above -- the system recognizes the devide, says it needs to install a driver, and then gives the "The data is invalid" error message. In the registry I changed the permissions as instructed above for all 5 keys that refer to USB, but that didn't help. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance....

When I play CD music on windows media player 10 I get poor sound. When I play the same CD on Winap Player the sound is perfect so it cannot by my sound card. How can I fix the sound on Windows Media Player?
