No dice...

When I try a fresh install with a sp2 with slipstreamed sp3 (nLite - nothing else changed, tweaked or removed) and latest driverpacks,
I get an error while Windows configures ATI AVIVO Codecs
"Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI technologies\Multimedia\atimpenc.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473"

I think I'm going to continue working on the frankenlited custom driverpack image I had.
I'll reasearch this further later on, this image needs to be finished soon (and lets hope there will be no issues due to nLite, it's for a company wide deployment. Fingers crossed).

Thanks for the help.
(If you have additional tips or want me to do some testing; feel free to post them. I just won't be able to respond to them any time soon if they are a lot of work)

Cheers

I did try to install the drivers first. That did not work until I reinstalled the Microsoft HD audio thingy drivers with the drivers provided in the hotfix.

I slipstreamed sp3 in to an OEM XP pro sp2 source using nLite (and tweaked it a bit, removing software, disabling services and some drivers)
In nLite, in the drivers pane it is noted that you can safely remove the drivers if you will be using another source to install them. Judging from a previous post from mr_smartepants that will probably be the issue.

I'll try this now.

Would you recommend not disabling any drivers using nLite? (I'd like to keep it as lean as possible)

slipstreaming the unpacked "comonfiles" folder from the extracted 888111 hotfix via nLite drivers in to my XP SP3 source and then adding a custom driverpack containing the latest HD realtek drivers (as well as those for the video card btw) solved my issue.

I'd be willing to do more testing or provide more info if it can help you guys.

In the mean time, thank you all for this great tool!

OK, first things first.  KB888111 is already integrated into SP3 so no need to slipstream it separately.

That is indeed what I read, I also came across some posts mentioning this does not really work, unless you hotfix SP2 before installing SP3.
After updating the drivers of microsoft UAA bus driver with the extracted files from KB888111 I was able to install the audio device using the latest HD audio driver from Realtek.

These extracted drivers also work when they are slipstreamed using nLite. DP doesn't install the realtek driver, manual install works

So after XP install with the current DriverPack Chipset & Sound A packs, what is the driver version that is installed for your Realtek device?
It SHOULD be: 6/16/2009    5.10.0.5874

It looks like no drivers are installed.. at least according to device manager.
note: I'm having the same issue with the graphics card on the same computer

That device is directly supported in DriverPack Sound A by two versions:
\D\S\R\HDARt.inf
\D\S\R2\HDARt.inf

Please re accomplish the install, and do NOT disable any services or other drivers.

I have been disabling stuff through nLite but this installation image runs fine on most computers I tested it on.

I'm going to try and create a custom driver pack with the realtek drivers (and the graphics drivers) to see what happens there.

A newbie question:
When I create a custom driverpack including drivers for different computers, only the drivers needed on a specific computer will be installed (just like the official DriverPacks), right?

Just tested the new BASE 10.06 with all current driverpacks (including Sound A and B 10.06)
No drivers for my audio..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0888&SUBSYS_1631E902&REV_1000

(I now noticed the original poster reported a problem with DEV_0880, do I start a new thread?)

EDIT:
(XP sp3)

I tried installing with the NEC supplied drivers, which gave a non descriptive error
I downloaded the drivers straight from Realtek, they gave me an error number.
Following the info from this thread
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/HD-Audio … 98440.html
I disabled the microsoft UAA bus driver (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4383&SUBSYS_E9021631&REV_00)
Installation with the realtek driver installer now works

EDIT2:
But still no dice, Device manager reports the hardware is installed, control panel says no audio device is present

EDIT3:
Sorry to be so vocal about this.. I'm new to this slipstreaming stuff
Might have something to do with the (apparently) infamous 888111 audio hotfix, which I can't install on SP3.
I'll try slipstreaming the hotfix with nLite and report back (but don't hesitate to chime in if you have another idea smile)

Hey,

Is there an ETA for this update?

Cheers,
Jeroen

EDIT: I'm willing to test an RC pack or two if you need more feedback
