Sigma Tel Driver Blocking Vista SP1 Update

[erpdude8]

It has been “couple weeks” since my conversation with MS’ technicians. NO Windows Automatic Update SP1 has been brought to my attention….sooooo, I uninstalled my SigmaTel Audio Drivers and restarted my PC. I then check for any Window Updates….Nothing…Re-installed my Audio Drivers……Grrrr…

Forget the MS techies, lexonex!! Sometimes they're not much help. Do you know what HARDWARE ID NUMBER your Sigmatel Audio hardware uses? THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!

Get the hardware ID info of your audio device from Device Manager and mention it here in this forum!

So it looks like the hardware ID no your Dell Dimension E520 computer is "FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680" or something similar to it. Am I correct on this, PeaceByJesus?

Your seeming supererogatorical efforts are commendable. In my case, i have driver version 6.10.0.5515, and the Hardware lds is HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD&REV_1002

and HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD

You will have to tell me if that is "similar." Meanwhile, i have the Intel file you linked to opened with the STWRT.INI in my sights, awaiting your confirmation what variants of HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD&REV_1002

and HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD to add, rather than DEV_7680.

However, the latest reply from the MS free SP1 support is

"Dear Daniel, Thank you for your response. I have ordered a new Windows Vista Basic embedded with SP1 DVD for you free of charge. You should expect to receive the DVD within 7 to 15 business days."

So praise the Lord . This is what i inquired about, as i almost did a clean install of Vista but sensed i should hold back. I only have the Dell restore type DVD for Vista, so i am not sure if i could've made a slipstreamed Vista/SP1 DVD with it. Yet i am not sure that this combo coming will not have any problems, but i think it will install. If i find a usable sound card sometimes that fits this Dell i will likely install that. The integrated Sigmatel does not record audio from the sound card (i bought a splitter to do so).

I have no clue what the above means...Or how it can help me....

This info is very crucial because we need BOTH the STWRT64.INF and STWRT64.INI files to "recognize" this model no. This hardware ID no is "unique" and is specific for your machine. The hardware ID no. that I use is different and specific to the Dell Inspiron laptop that I'm using.

Here's what you should do, lexonex. I'll list the tips, step by step. Since you use the 64bit edition of Vista:

1. Download the D20253-001-001.exe file from the Gateway site. It has v6.10.5713.0 of the Sigmatel/IDT Audio drivers.

2. Run the D20253-001-001.exe file to extract the files. The driver files will be stored into the \cabs\D20253-001-001\WDM\Vista\ folder. Let's go to this folder, look for the STWRT64.INI (NOT the STWRT64.INF) file, open it in Notepad. It'll look like this:

I noticed "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7682&SUBSYS_107B4044" is NOT on the list, but "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7682" is included in the STWRT64.INF file. So we just need to add the "DEV_7682" ID no into the INI file.

3. Add "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7682&SUBSYS_107B4044=I5.INI" into the [Models] section. You can add this ID number below the [Models] line so it'll look like this:

4. Save changes to the STWRT64.INI file. We're not done yet. We need a copy of the I5.INI file from the v6.10.5405 audio driver package, otherwise the Sigmatel/IDT audio setup program won't have the necessary config info to setup your hardware on your Gateway FX510S computer and you'll end up with drivers that don't work.

5. Get a copy of the I5.INI file from the D20127-001-001.exe package which bundled v6.10.5405 of the audio drivers. Copy the I5.INI file to the \cabs\D20253-001-001\WDM\Vista\ folder.

6. We need to make a correction to the I5.INI file. It lists the hardware ID no as "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7683&SUBSYS_107B4044=i5.ini"

when it should be listed as "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7682&SUBSYS_107B4044=i5.ini" [man, the people who wrote the drivers and the INI config files need to check their work carefully!]. Change the "3" to a "2" and save changes to the I5.INI file.

7. Ok, now we're set. Run the SETUP.EXE file from the \cabs\D20253-001-001\ folder (not the Vista folder), the setup program should use the STWRT64.INF file to detect your device, locate your "model no" in the modified STWRT64.INI file, and use the I5.INI file to input the rest of the audio settings & setup the rest of your audio hardware. And finally the 5713.x drivers should be able to work on your Gateway FX510S computer.

It's the littlest of details like hardware IDs that can make a big difference.

So it looks like the hardware ID no your Dell Dimension E520 computer is "FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680" or something similar to it. Am I correct on this, PeaceByJesus?

Your seeming supererogatorical efforts are commendable. In my case, i have driver version 6.10.0.5515, and the Hardware lds is HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD&REV_1002

and HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD

You will have to tell me if that is "similar." Meanwhile, i have the Intel file you linked to opened with the STWRT.INI in my sights, awaiting your confirmation what variants of HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD&REV_1002

and HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD to add, rather than DEV_7680.

However, the latest reply from the MS free SP1 support is

"Dear Daniel, Thank you for your response. I have ordered a new Windows Vista Basic embedded with SP1 DVD for you free of charge. You should expect to receive the DVD within 7 to 15 business days."

So praise the Lord . This is what i inquired about, as i almost did a clean install of Vista but sensed i should hold back. I only have the Dell restore type DVD for Vista, so i am not sure if i could've made a slipstreamed Vista/SP1 DVD with it. Yet i am not sure that this combo coming will not have any problems, but i think it will install. If i find a usable sound card sometimes that fits this Dell i will likely install that. The integrated Sigmatel does not record audio from the sound card (i bought a splitter to do so).

Ok. It's 7618 rather than 7680. I was almost there. I guess you may have some doubts of editing the STWRT*.INI file (it's the STWRT*.INF file that we do not mess with) but I "kept the faith" so to speak, remained confident in what I did and got the 5713.x drivers to work on the Dell Inspiron laptop I'm using.

I found out the reason why the v6.10.5609 and v6.10.5614 of the audio drivers from Dell wouldn't work on your Dell Dimension machine is because the hardware ID number "7618" is not there, in both the STWRT*.INF and STWRT*.INI files. It'll be best not to use those anyway since they have less flexibility and supports fewer models or hardware IDs of sigmatel/idt audio devices.

In the STWRT.INI file from the v6.10.5511 audio package from Dell, the "DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD" number references the WRT_D8-4.INI file. Ok the steps I mentioned a few days ago have been changed. I've edited the my comments I originally made on April 5.

for the Vista SP1 install issue, I was reading a thread here:

http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/pa...the-public.aspx

BrightrevCarl made a comment about running CHKDSK before installing SP1.

I've installed SP1 about a half dozen times so far and have only had a single problem. I have two regular desktop PCs, several virtual machines and a Vista Media Center PC, all of which upgraded to SP1 without problems. In addition, the S3 Sleep problems I'd been having on my Media Center PC appear to have been fixed by SP1.

The one problem I had was on a Vista laptop with NTFS file system corruption. When the SP1 install couldn't overwrite a DLL file on a bad part of the disk, it stopped and continuously flashed the file name on a black screen. I ran CHKDSK to fix the file system corruption, then System Restore to get the laptop back to its pre-SP1 state and finally was able to install SP1 successfully. The lesson here is that if you have any question at all about file system integrity, run CHKDSK before installing SP1.

There's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel.

OK, i have added the line HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD=WRT_D8-4.INI to the STWRT.INI file, and have downloaded the R157052.EXE file R157052.exe. And copied the WRT_D8-4.INI file to the \AUD_allVista_5713.1_PV_IDT_v22_IAS\WDM\ folder. And finally, i will run the SETUP.EXE file from the \AUD_allVista_5713.1_PV_IDT_v22_IAS\ folder (not the WDM folder). All systems go for lift off.

[PeaceByJesus]

Well, the install went well, though it took a few minutes, but after rebooting i have no audio and the SP1 file still will not run. The driver version became 6.10.5713.1. As said before, if it was only the Sigmatel,driver then i would think removing it and disabling it in the bios (as i have done before) would at least solve the SP1 install problem. I just let windows find another driver for this out of the many i have downloaded and tried. The driver version is now 6.10.0.5515 and it works. But thanks for your efforts. i will post back after i do the clean install with Vista SP1.

whoops. I just realized something, PeaceByJesus.

From the STWRT.INI file in the \AUD_allVista_5713.1_PV_IDT_v22_IAS\WDM\ folder, we should add the following in the [Models] section:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618=WRT_D8-4.INI

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_102801DD=WRT_D8-4.INI

So we needed to add TWO lines referencing id no. 7618 into STWRT.INI. It looks like the audio setup program did not fully detect id no. 7618. sorry about that. now try it again. I'll edit my older post that mentioned id no. 7618.

just wondering, PeaceByJesus. Are you using the 32bit edition of Vista or the 64bit edition of Vista? Right-click on the My computer icon and select Properties. (or select System from the Control Panel Window). For 32bit systems the "stwrt.ini" file needs to be edited. For 64bit systems the file that needs to be edited is "stwrt64.ini"

Ok for lexonex's situation, I've just found a better solution, only this time we do NOT need to edit the stwrt.ini/stwrt64.ini files!

I found the right driver package that just might work on lexonex's Gateway FX510S computer AND it's in the most unlikely of places. It's a good thing I made him look up the hardware id number of the sigmatel/idt audio device.

Download the "AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53.exe" file from this Intel web site:

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/13706/eng/..._IDTGUI_v53.exe

I've carefully checked the contents of the AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53.exe file and it DOES include the I5.INI file. I've also looked at the contents of the stwrt.ini & stwrt64.ini files of this v6.10.5713.1 driver package. Guess what? The INI files listed the hardware ID no. on there:

"HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7682&SUBSYS_107B4044"

SO...

All lexonex has to do is to run the AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53.exe file to extract the files to the \AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53\ folder and then run the [setup.exe] file from that folder and the IDT Audio setup program should take care of the rest.

well lexonex, there you have it. You can thank Intel for making the IDT audio drivers work on your machine and on others. with version 6.10.5713.1 of the sigmatel/idt audio drivers from Intel installed on your Gateway computer, you should now be elligible for Vista SP1 through Windows Update after installing the April 2008 security updates, the April 2008 MS Malicious Software Removal Tool [< this was the very last update that I had to install on my mom's Dell laptop and Vista SP1 finally showed up in Windows Update] and the revised KB938371 update [< this is now V2]

i will post back after i do the clean install with Vista SP1.

Before you actually install Vista SP1, be sure to run CHKDSK /F to fix file system errors first as that seemed to resolve the Vista SP1 installation problem for some people. type CHKDSK /F in the Run dialog box. Windows will display a command windows prompt that it can not check the drive because it is in use and it will ask you to schedule a disk check when you restart the computer. Answer Y and hit Enter to schedule a disk check, close the dialog box and reboot your computer to make CHKDSK check your computer.

First I want to commend you again erpdude8 for your extra-ordinary efforts in seeking to get this resolved. But sadly, adding to the other 2 lines and running Setup as directed did not work. After a reboot the audio was no go, though the driver version was 6.10.5713.1, nor would SP1 install. And i am running 32 bit. I have also run check disk on my C drive as well.

Strangely however, rather than reinstalling the old driver by having windows search for the best one out of the folder and subfolders, i just did a roll back and the driver version now is 6.0.6000.16386. Which doesn't work (i have not yet booted). But i think that is older than 6.10.0.5515, so i reinstalled that one.

Here is current stwrt.INI

[lexonex]

Ok for lexonex's situation, I've just found a better solution, only this time we do NOT need to edit the stwrt.ini/stwrt64.ini files!

I found the right driver package that just might work on lexonex's Gateway FX510S computer AND it's in the most unlikely of places. It's a good thing I made him look up the hardware id number of the sigmatel/idt audio device.

Download the "AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53.exe" file from this Intel web site:

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/13706/eng/..._IDTGUI_v53.exe

I've carefully checked the contents of the AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53.exe file and it DOES include the I5.INI file. I've also looked at the contents of the stwrt.ini & stwrt64.ini files of this v6.10.5713.1 driver package. Guess what? The INI files listed the hardware ID no. on there:

"HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7682&SUBSYS_107B4044"

SO...

All lexonex has to do is to run the AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53.exe file to extract the files to the \AUD_allOS_5762x_5713.1v_PV_IDTGUI_v53\ folder and then run the [setup.exe] file from that folder and the IDT Audio setup program should take care of the rest.

well lexonex, there you have it. You can thank Intel for making the IDT audio drivers work on your machine and on others. with version 6.10.5713.1 of the sigmatel/idt audio drivers from Intel installed on your Gateway computer, you should now be elligible for Vista SP1 through Windows Update after installing the April 2008 security updates, the April 2008 MS Malicious Software Removal Tool [< this was the very last update that I had to install on my mom's Dell laptop and Vista SP1 finally showed up in Windows Update] and the revised KB938371 update [< this is now V2]

FANTASTIC! I did as you suggest; downloaded the file and did an “advanced search” (Vista hiding that .exe file) and checked the box indicating “Include non-indexed, hidden and system files”. I then clicked on the setup .exe file and ran it and thereby getting the new IDT Audio Drivers. THANK YOU.

I than went ahead and clicked on “check for updates” on Windows Updates. Nothing came up. I checked a second time. BINGO! SP1 update available; all systems go! I did the download and it took well over an hour. Up and running. I THANK YOU AGAIN.

[erpdude8]

First I want to commend you again erpdude8 for your extra-ordinary efforts in seeking to get this resolved. But sadly, adding to the other 2 lines and running Setup as directed did not work. After a reboot the audio was no go, though the driver version was 6.10.5713.1, nor would SP1 install. And i am running 32 bit. I have also run check disk on my C drive as well.

Strangely however, rather than reinstalling the old driver by having windows search for the best one out of the folder and subfolders, i just did a roll back and the driver version now is 6.0.6000.16386. Which doesn't work (i have not yet booted). But i think that is older than 6.10.0.5515, so i reinstalled that one.

It looks like the old audio drivers needed to be un-installed first before installing the new ones because Vista plug 'n play feature is not accepting the new ones (sometimes Vista PnP isn't smart). I apologize in the procedure of editing stwrt*.ini files for not mentioning this crucial step of removing the old drivers first and then installing the new ones. The new Sigmatel/IDT audio drivers shouldn't be installed on top of the old Sigmatel/IDT drivers.

Open the Control Panel, go to "Programs and Features", select "Sigmatel Audio" or "IDT Audio" (or both; we need to remove ALL traces of Sigmatel/IDT Audio entries), uninstall them and restart the computer. Then use Device Manager to uninstall the generic Vista HD audio drivers (6.0.6000.16386) but this time, do NOT restart the computer. Now run the setup.exe program again from that 5713.1 folder with the modified stwrt.ini file, and it should detect your audio hardware, use the wrt_d8-4.ini file to setup your audio hardware on your machine and apply its settings. Make sure a copy of the wrt_d8-4.ini file taken from the R173209 package is stored in the WDM folder where the v6.10.5713.1 of the drivers are stored. the stwrt.ini file needs to find the wrt_d8-4.ini file.

for the Vista SP1 installation problem, Microsoft has re-issued the SP1 pre-requisite updates a few days ago: KB937287 and KB938371. The revised KB937287 update now requires the KB949939 update found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en

one of the following two scenarios should happen when using the KB949939 update:

a. When running KB949939 install, a dialog box says "Click to install the update" (KB949939), install it and restart the computer right away. Do NOT install any other Vista updates with KB949939!

b. When running KB949939 install, a dialog box says "This update does not apply to your system", in that case click OK and scrap the update as it is not needed.

The revised KB937287 update can be found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en

one of the following two scenarios should happen for KB937287:

a. Running KB937287 displays a dialog box saying "Click to install the update" (KB937287). Install this update and reboot right away; do NOT install any other Vista updates with KB937287.

b. Running KB937287 displays a dialog box saying "This update does not apply to your system";, in that case click OK to close the dialog box and move on if the original KB937287 update was already installed

And finally let's get the revised KB938371 update here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en

Download and install the revised KB938371 update, even though the original one was already installed. After installing the revised patch, reboot the computer and try running Vista SP1 setup again.

i'm not sure why Windows Update re-offered KB938371 on my mom's Dell Inspiron laptop with Vista Home Basic Edition 32bit. Looks like I really need to install the "revised" KB938371 update, even though the original one installed successfully.

ok, lexonex's sigmatel/idt audio situation has been fully resolved...finally [YAY! ]

Edited April 11, 2008 by erpdude8

[erpdude8]

After installing the revised KB937287 & KB938371 updates, restarting and running Vista SP1 setup, if you see the option that says "Automatically restart the computer" in the SP1 setup dialog box, uncheck that option and when Vista SP1 setup finishes, close the program and restart your computer manually. That way, Vista SP1 setup won't initiate a "pre-mature" reboot.

Another good reason to use the v6.10.5713.1 of the sigmatel/idt sound drivers is to resolve a "sound stuttering" or "music skipping" problem that Takiyon mentioned in this Dell forum page:

Make sure a copy of the wrt_d8-4.ini file taken from the R173209 package is stored in the WDM folder where the v6.10.5713.1 of the drivers are stored

correction, let's get the WRT_D8-4.INI file from the R173209.exe file instead of R157052.exe file to have the latest audio settings.

I had not noticed the correction you made to replace wrt_d8-4.ini from the AUD_allVista_5713.1 file with the one from a R173209 5713.1 file. So i found the R173209.exe file and used that WRT_D8-4.INI file to replaced the one in the v6.10.5713.1 WDM folder.

The IDI drivers were uninstalled and i rebooted, and then i used DM to uninstall the generic Vista HD audio drivers (6.0.6000.16386) as directed, and w/out restarting the computer i ran run the setup.exe program again from the 5713.1 folder with the modified stwrt.ini file. After a reboot the driver version was 6.10.5713.1, but again no audio, and SP1 will not get past the license dialog box.

The revised KB938371 was included in the latest WU updates today, and KB949939 says "This update does not apply to your system."

I moved my audio back to ver. 6.10.0.5515. I think i just need to do a clean install with DVD SP1 slip streamed. Perhaps there is another driver that is not on the SP1 forbidden list.
