Fresh install of XP SP2, H8S8 firmware, R105B bios, all original hardware of the first 9860 version.
After installing the chipset drivers and rebooting, I install the audio drivers, and upon rebooting again I get the error
"Cann't find Match Realtek HDAudio Inf File"
and in device manager there remain 39 yellow entries of
"Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus"
Ive spent the last 16 hours searching for any relevant information about this problem, most of the threads regarding it are years old and contain broken links to drivers, those that arent broken I have tried using repeatedly in different combinations of chipset and audio driver versions. The typical solution of "delete the MSHDQFE folder" only results in the error occuring before the reboot instead of after. The other solution about installing the modem drivers first doesnt work either. I have tried at least 3 versions of the chipset driver and 4 versions of the audio driver, including both the ones I was using before my reinstall, and the most recent ones Ive been able to find. Ive also tried it both before and after running through Windows Update. I had no such problems before I reinstalled, and the only reason I did was that it had been 2 years since I last reinstalled and my system was a bit sluggish with a bunch of applications I dont use anymore. I never expected any problem like this or I would have left well enough alone.
I am extremely frustrated at this point, is there any further advice anyone can offer? Working links to working drivers? Specific order of installation? Registry tweaks? I am desperate to resolve this. Thanks.
