I was curious if this fix of removing this, and installing something else, can work soundly for an XP install on an E6400. Because I've tried to uninstall this and it's lead to some complications. Your post here is the best thing I've found, so I'm turning to you.

Thanks!

Here's the symptoms I had – win7x64. I would put the laptop (Latitude E6400) to sleep at work after being on the domain, take it home to my home wireless network and wake it up. As soon as I try to watch any flash video, shockwave hangs. After I uninstalled the device + driver, flash started working, albeit without any audio. I've rebooted and the MS driver installed. I'll try the same thing – put it to sleep at work, wake it up at home and see if it fixes the issue – initial indications are that it will. Thankyou!!

Thank you SO much, I have been trying to fix this for days. I did exactly what you said and it worked brilliantly. I’m glad that I can watch youtube videos again.

I was seeing the same problem, but when I set the Inject Drivers task in the task sequence to only load those drivers that belonged to the version of Windows being installed, the problem went away.

very cool post.. my e6400 kept crashing the audio service because of a buggy stapo.dll, which belongs to IDT. I uninstalled it.. hopefully its more stable now.

Wow, thank you so much. Spent a couple of hours on this. Your solution worked.

I use v6.10.0.6227 for Vista x64, and there’s actually audio. Only downside is that if one runs any application which takes above 5% CPU, I have stuttering in my sounds/audio. And no, it isn’t the Intel RAID driver causing this – tried several versions, and although there is one version of the Storage Manager which seems worse – I have never seen any PC with this much stuttering.

If you want a plain typewriter, never want to use any CPU-demanding programs or any kind of virtualization (slow uneven execution), then the Lattitude e6500 is for you (very nice keyboard). Although the audio isn’t good, it’s not as bad as some people say (like some Asus laptops where audio is sent to the resting surface, rather than at the user, resulting in some odd counter-phase sounding odd sounding music).

I’m fairly sure that the drivers installed by Windows should offer all the features that you need. They have worked for me thus far.

What drivers should be used in place?

Do they support the onboard mic etc?
