[SOLVED] SIGMATEL STAC 92XX Windows 7 Drivers

I have been trying for a week now to get my audio card working on my Dell Inspiron 1721. I did the update to 7 and then lost audio, I found a driver that would install, but then the audio was pure digital garbage.
I have yet to find a driver that will work. I went to SigmaTel homepage but that didn't help either.
I upgraded to 7 64bit from a 32 bit version of Vista. Full program, not the upgrade. I am ready to dump 7 and go back to Vista.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

I think the solution posted on this blog should work for you : http://www.bigfrontdoor.com/big-blog...s-on-windows-7

Ian,

Thanks, I tried it but it didn't work for me. I get an error

"ExitError.Error=Device Object not present, restart the system and run setup again."

I have gotten this numerous times when trying to install, and haven't figured a way around it.

"In the Sound, Video and Game controller group you will see a device called "Windows High Defintion" - delete this by selecting and pressing delete"

I have no "Sound, Video and game controller group."

Do you have any more luck with these drivers:

Ian, just got it working. I did a BIOS update, and rebooted then it started working. ODD, becasue in the original bios it saw the audio controller. I got it working though, thanks,
tony

Glad it's now working, I'll mark this thread as solved

I am having the same issue with my DELL E1505 I did the latest BIOS update from what I can tell which is A17 and still not working, anyone got suggestions

Hi badboy21 - Welcome to w7forums

Did you also download the correct audio drivers? - I hate to ask but you did not specifically say you did.
Also which version of Windows are you using? - 32-Bit or 64-Bit?

Yes, I did but I get the "" Exit error =Device object Not Present " when I try to install the correct Sigmatel drivers. I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit this issue has come up with this new motherboard I had to get, ever since I installed it I've had this issue. I've tried update the BIOS, uninstalling and re-installing the Sigmatel drivers, etc. Under my device manager the HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO CONTROLLER is yellow with the error "THE DEVICE COULD NOT START (CODE 10)"
