Had the same problem on my Dell GX620 after doing a reinstall of XP
Eventually fixed problem.
After install I installed an Nvidia graphics card; this change the sound driver from SoundMax to an nvidia driver. At this point lost sound; and any reinstall caused the no ADI codec error.
2 easy solutions; either change the driver been used in the control panel - sounds or install a 3rd party driver such as the Omega drivers
Hope this helps
Welcome to Windrivers Versio - thanks for the tip... but I am puzzled as to why a graphics card driver would reinstall the sound...unless you got the nforce drivers? These are drivers for nvidia based motherboards which contain chipset, ethernet, sound and onboard video...
Hello, I know this is a really old post, but maybe you can help me... can the "No ADI Codec Driver is Installed" be solved in vista or seven?
thanks in advance
Hello, Hereje! Can you tell us more about your hardware? It would be helpful to know what motherboard your system has, or if it is a branded computer such as an HP, etc. and the model.
Hello to everyone. I came across that topic just now as I am having the same problem. My motherboard is ASUS P4P800 SE. It has integrated SoundMAX sound card and everything was just fine until I decided to upgrade my Windows XP to Win7. It seems that Win7 does not make the best choice of drivers regarding old hardware. My problem is that the sound card can not split the sound between all my 5.1 speakers. I've downloaded the latest SoundMAX pack for my motherboard from ASUS website but it plays only the 2 front speakers. I've read many topics about this. Some suggest there is some noise reduction system which is the cause of that, others think it may be a conflict with nVidia drivers. On top of that I am also receiving that "No ADI Codec Drivers found" upon start-up. I tried to uninstall my sound drivers completely and put them again with no avail. I am absolutely sure it is some driver conflict. The BIOS and the soundmax should match in theory. I think I had the same issue long time ago with the SP3 and it was something really simple, but now I feel lost. Can someone help me with that?
Hi, I know this is old, but I'm also experiencing the same problem with a dell dimmension 3000... all the same errors as above! can anyone help?
