Hardware error after reboot about cmediadrivers HOT 9 CLOSED

do you still get the bug?

Yes 

ok - are there any irregularities in your device manager? also, do you have 
applications running which require exclusive access to the soundcard?

No irregularities in my device manager.
Im run WindowsMediaplayer, MediaMonkey. On my onboard Realtek ALC882 never was 
similar problems. 

can you try to delete the soundcard in the device manager, then "scan for new 
hardware", and then delete the device again until windows runs out of drivers 
to 
install? after that, reboot, install the driver from this site, open 
cmicontrol.exe, 
press apply and reboot again.

Yes, it's helpful! So what there was a problem? It was a bug in the driver?

that's a bug of windows - the settings from the old drivers weren't deleted 
properly 
so they blocked the driver from this site. anyway, great to hear that it works 
- 
I'll put an entry about this in the FAQ when I have some more time. Also, 
thanks for 
reporting!

When I apply parametres through system sndvol32.exe after reboot they are not 
saved, 
and are saved only if I apply them in CMICONTROL.exe and press "Apply". Why so?
Can make you the special program which will remove all old data about a card 
from 
system, and will prepare it for normal job of your driver?

that's because the driver can't save its settings on system shutdown because 
the 
registry API is unseemingly disabled - another design "improvement" to decrease 
the 
shutdown times. 
the setup application should take care of removing the old drivers, but it 
somehow 
failed on your system.
