If you are experiencing no sound after updating to 1903 from 1809 or doing a clean install do the following:
- If you do not have Daniel K's SB Audigy Series Support Pack 6.2 installed already then download this from: https://danielkawakami.blogspot.com/2017/01/sb-audigy-series-support-pack-62.html and install using the custom install setting and uncheck the driver setup. Do not install the driver part!
- Download these drivers from: https://app.box.com/s/csaeqowda8in6pm4u65p04qm0rdcm18k (they are from the SB RX driver pack and I have not altered them in any way)
- Unzip the files and run setup.exe. Alternately, you may install them from Device Manager and find the driver in the WDM folder within the zip file.
- Reboot
If you get a BSOD during the driver install portion then do this:
- Reboot into safe mode.
- Go into C:\Windows\system32\Drivers and delete ha10kx2k.sys. There is some sort of incompatibility with 1903 and ha10kx2k.sys that seems to cause BSODs.
- Reboot.
- Install the RX drivers from: https://app.box.com/s/csaeqowda8in6pm4u65p04qm0rdcm18k if you have not already.
- Reboot.
I tested this on two different systems and it seems to work. Kudos to Bryan86_HU, mmmarkuss and others who contributed to to this solution.
Its sad that MS can't fix this.
