Problem:
Sound was working perfectly until I recently re-installed Win XP Pro. I installed the Soundmax Drivers from the mother board CD for the AD1888 Codec. When the installation is complete I am prompted to reboot my system. When the system has rebooted I get the following message box error when I login:

Message Box Error Text on Login

"No ADI Codec driver is Installed"


Device Manager Properties Text

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.



Steps Taken to Resolve :
1.) I downloaded the drivers from ASUS web site but during the installed it said that the driver on the motherboard CD is newer.

2.) I ran the driver install process explicitly as an administrator. No Change.

3.) I ran the driver install through the Add/Remove Programs. No Change.

4.) I deleted the driver and let XP detect it. I got the following error at the end of the hardware wizard:

Add Hardware Wizard Text

Cannot Install this Hardware

There was a problem installing this hardware

Multimedia Audio Controller or SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

An error occurred during the installation of the device

The data is invalid

5.) I verified the permissions on the PCI and Subkeys in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\P CI
This was described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article : 841567

6.) I did a fresh install of XP and tried to reinstall SoundMax. NoChange.

7.) I was able to enable verbose setup logging, and the log text is as follows :
