Help! Everytime I start up my computer i have to uninstall my sound driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio) and let the system search for the hardware and reinstall the drivers so i can hear again. Also I have managed to install two more Legacy Audio drivers, so my Sound, Video and Game controllers looks like: -Audio Codecs -Legacy Audio Drivers -Legacy Audio Drivers -Legacy Audio Drivers -Legacy Video Capture Devices -Realtek AC'97 Audio -Video Codecs -Winfast TV2000 XP WDM Audio Capture -Winfast TV2000 XP WDM Crossbar -Winfast TV2000 XP WDM TVTuner -Winfast TV2000 XP WDM Video Capture There is no indication that there is any problems with any of these. What should I do? Please help, its driving me nuts!

I'm thinking that the multiple Legacy Audio Drivers are interacting and maybe canceling each other out somehow? Can you disable two of them? Does this help any if it works? I, personally, would be totally fed up and probably delete them and all re-install. I won't advise you to try that one until someone who actually knows what they're talking about posts a response. If it's possible to disable two of them and it works, then I would assume it would be OK to delete those ones. But yet again, I'm gonna say don't try that one until someone who actually knows what they're talking about posts a response.

Hey, thanks guys, to update, I can't uninstall the Legacy Audio Drivers as there is no option to do so (as there is for the Realtek drivers) or even disable the drivers as Teesa said and the driver update hasn't helped...

Do you have a earlier restore point?

Aaaarggh! My first restore point still had three legacy drivers?!?!

So what happens if you go to your control panel,system,hardware,device manager,sound video and game controllers double click on legacy audio driver and in properties,click remove,then reboot?
