Vista - Trouble with IDT high definition audio CODEC

Trouble with IDT high definition audio CODEC


Hi. three days ago I bought a brand new HP pavillion dv5 notebook.
Today i experienced my first problem. At first, I heard the clicking
sound the computer makes when you change the audio volume, and it also
changed volume up and down.
Each time the volume changes there comes a sort of pop-up on the middle
of the screen. When the computer is changing volume (which it does
constantly). this half-transparent pop-up makes it hard to see what is
behind it, and it also makes it impossible to click anything that is
behind it. I found out that it is probably IDT high definition audio
codec that causes the problem.

So the question is: Can anyone here tell me what to do to solve the
problem?

Thanks in advance.

That one is simple:

Intel FUBARed the codec, and you must remove it entirely. Just uninstall
from Programs and Features, then download and install teh SigmaTel codec
PREVIOUS to the one which is FUBARed.

I assume you have an Intel motherboard, so go to their website and find the
SigmaTel codec OTHER than the one marked "IDT...." for your particular
motherboard. It will be named "SigmaTel.....something or other".

I think I have an AMD motherboard. At least my processor is an AMD.
I have also found out that the problem seems to usually occur during
full-screen games. The rest of the touch "buttons" also becomes more or
less inactive. (The Play/pause, mute, and Quickplay buttons)
