i accidentally deleted my High definition Audio Device

[BlurrDonutz]

i was trying to fix an audio problem and i saw in a random post that if you delete your HD audio device in the task manager then clicked (check for changes) it would re-download it and it would work, i deleted the HD audio but it never gave me the option to re-download it. I have no idea on how to get it back

Just go to the Motherboard manufacturers site you should be able to to re-download and install it.

i have an ASrock motherboard, but what does the motherboard have to do with the drivers?

 

[ak47jar3d]

What you deleted is the audio driver. You should be able to get it again in the site.

 

[BlurrDonutz]

this is their website but idk where to get it

Whats your Motherboard?

 

[BlurrDonutz]

i found it, i also downloaded the driver. how do i install it doe? sorry for being an idiot xD

 

[ak47jar3d]

You should be able to find a .exe file to install it.

 

[BlurrDonutz]

is a zip file, when i open it there are a bunch of things, do i click on Setup.exe?

 

[BlurrDonutz]

You should be able to find a .exe file to install it.

i clicked setup.exe and it gave me and error message

 

[ak47jar3d]

What file are trying to install and what error message are you getting?

 

[BlurrDonutz]

im trying yo install Setup.exe, i keep getting a error that says
An error (-5001 ; 0x80070002) has occurred while running the setup
please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. if the error still occurs contact your vendor

 

[ak47jar3d]

Make sure you shutdown any app from the tray. It seems that what the issue is.

 

[BlurrDonutz]

there are no apps running

 

[ak47jar3d]

You may be able to roll back driver in the device manager, have you tried it?

 

[BlurrDonutz]

how do i do that?

 

[BlurrDonutz]

the drive doesn't even show up in my Device manager, so i cant roll it back

 

[ak47jar3d]

You can go the control panel>>>device manager>>>audio and game controls. Right click your audio device (probably listed as unknown) and select properties. Select roll back drivers.

should i download this driver? http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

 

[ak47jar3d]

It depends on which board you are using.

 

[BlurrDonutz]

the only things under audio and game controls are- NVIDIA High Definition Audio, NVIDIA virtual audio device, Razer Surround sound. i use to have HD audio device but i deleted it

 

[BlurrDonutz]

im using a ASrock z97 Killer, but the driver keeps giving me that error

 

[ak47jar3d]

Yeah, it seems you need the realtek drivers. The Motherboard site has several versions downlaod and try to install different ones.

 

[BlurrDonutz]

i tried to install that driver, but again it gives me the error. could it be firewall or something trying to protect my pc for some reason blocking it?

 

[BlurrDonutz]

i also have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, could it be this blocking it?
