nazz Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 My Nforce sound drivers installs fine. The utility Soundstorm does not install. I see it is in a util folder 1 inf file and some dll and exe files. When I rightclick the inf file and click install, it installs the utility. Do anyone know how one would run this inf from a command prompt.I think it is something like "rundll32.exe filename.inf" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemdrive%\filename.inf%systemdrive% = C:\ Which is where the inf is located in my example, change it 4 your specifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedoy Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 What is it "128" in this String?THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 @nazzIt looks like you have an older version of the drivers. The SoundStorm utility does not use INF anymore, plus it has got renamed to NVmixer.Re-download the new version of drivers, and the new NVmixer uses standard InstallShield procedures.

Yzöwl Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 The 128 mode is to prevent the PC performing a possible reboot without informing you first.Mode 132 can also be used to do the same thing although there is a slight difference.As a rule of thumb, use 128 mode when running the inf from a batch /cmdlines.txt and the inf is also in the same directory. Use 132 in all cases where you will need to provide the full path to the inf since it is not in the same directory as the command calling it.i.erundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %systemdrive%\install\settings.infrundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\settings.infMicrosoft recommend using the full path to your inf in the Rundll..... command.[EDIT] In the example given by MCT, I would suggest using mode 132 instead of mode 128[/EDIT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazz Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 I installed the newer drivers, but prefer to add the soundstorm util because it has 4 speaker support where Nvmixer have 2 spkr and 5.1 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer driver, and older utility may not give proper stability, but its your choice....2. I checked on my NVmixer just now - and it has 4 speaker support!

prathapml Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 But if you still need the old SoundStorm utility, there's one thing to take note of - if you take your CD to a PC that does not have nForce hardware, the SoundStorm might still get installed (which is a problem).Installing nVidia SoundStorm selectively, has been discussed in these topics:detect nForce and install SoundStormmore forum posts about soundstormHoping this helps....
