Hello there.
I've been having trouble for months now.
I have an asus striker II formula mobo,
and a supreme fx II pcie.
and am having major issue's trying to get my sound back.
There is a red speaker icon on the taskbar that says "no audio output device is installed"
it was fine one minuite, then sound dissapeared the next, for no apparent reason.
I've tried downloading the soundmax drivers from the asus website.
However, when attempting to install them, an error pops up saying "smwdm.sys is missing"
i have no idea what that is,
and i have downloaded the same drivers from various sites, and each say the same thing.
Then, i found a site where i could download smwdm.sys and put it where it needed to be.
However this time it now says "The files to not support your hardware"
So i'm assuming that the smwdm.sys file i downloaded was incorrect or something.
Right now there is no audio device in device manager.
I have HD audio set on auto in the bios rather than disabled.
and thats about it really.
Im stuck...
any help would be greatly appreciated!!
