| 390210 | 2005-09-22 13:11:00 | I got a problem with my laptop's audio driver (ASUS L3000D), OS is Winxp pro. There's no sound and I found out that there's a ! sign besides the Multimedia Audio Controller under device manager. When I try to install the driver, an error message comes up says: Driver can't be installed. The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name. Can anyone please help? Thanks. |

| 390212 | 2005-09-23 03:48:00 | Thanks for your reply. I've done that. But after restart, the Found New Hardware Wizard comes up automatically and says: there was a problem installing this hardware (with the same message I mentioned above). |

| 390214 | 2005-09-26 14:52:00 | It's quite possible Windows is fixated on an incorrect driver, and it's a process I would not like to explain in removing drivers that have no removal since you can seriously screw up the driver database this way. You'll need to remove the Service Name it's wanting to install, do you know what the name is? I've forgotten the command to do this from commandline so hopefully someone here has that answer, the service will be related to starting up the audio device. The command I believe is "NET", so try "NET /?" from the commandline to see if there's anything useful, I don't use Windows as often as I should so even the basics of administring them I'm forgetting. Are you updating the driver from device manager? That would be the way I would try to install it from the CD, otherwise I would get an updated driver from the laptop's website for it and install that into the Windows Driver Database then try updating or forcing it to use the driver from the extracted location of the driver. Cheers, KK |

| 390215 | 2005-09-27 00:57:00 | My Son had the same problem and it turned out there is a known failure with the sound card or whatever . The repair was free . I suggest you take the matter up with your dealer . ;) |

| 390216 | 2005-09-27 02:33:00 | This probably is a driver problem. If you have the drivers CD reinstall it; otherwise, go to their website and download the appropriate driver and install it. This is not an uncommon issue. Quite often, Windows can't recognise or install the correct audio driver. | bk T (215) | ||
