Are my audio drivers being re-installed at every boot?  

Oh. just saw you posted the same time.

Just re-read the MS documentation. If we're going to try the highest verbosity set LogLevel to 0x2000ffff

I already changed it to 0, so that's what I'm sending, but I would be happy to put it back to verbose. I have had no reason to change the log settings and I can't think of anything that happened on the 12th (except maybe the problem started?) I don't know.

I boot
balloon says installing new devices -5 seconds
error notification appears in the tray. goes away by itself -10 seconds
all is well.

haha we keep missing each other.
I already sent zip with data 0.
I will NOT do anything until you post. Sorry 'bout that.
I do appreciate your help.

Just returned from a visit to Home Depot. Saw the file you uploaded. That should do just fine for now. Will take me awhile to sort through it. One question: Look in Device Manager, expand all categories and tell me if you see any devices with a yellow ! icon.

Some quick feedback..


First, I'm not an expert at reading these files. The information is cryptic and there's a lot in them I still don't understand (but exercises like these help me keep learnin' :)

From best I can tell, the first device install failure is related to LoopBe30. I think the installer can't find a required driver file. Do you have LoopBe30 installed? Or did you install it once and uninstall it?

If it is installed i suggest you uninstall and then reinstall the latest version. If you think it's uninstalled, then you have remnants left behind

No Alerts in Device Manager.

yes, LoopBe30 is the software device I listed. It acts like it can't find it, throws an error, then finds it.

I think I should uninstall all 4 audio devices and then re-install.
What do you think?

I have to go now. I'm going to reinstall these 4 devices and report back in a day.

ComputerGeek, thank you, sir.
and Merry Christmas!

Yea. Reinstall sounds like a good next step. I advise you look through CtlPnl->Programs and Features and manually uninstall devices from there. Then look online for the latest drivers.

Here's the devices i see having problems:
> LoopBe30
> AudioBox USB Audio
> Creative SB X-Fi

And Merry Christmas to you too! (And to all a good night :) )

p.s. When you reinstall, right click each installer and Run as Admin

I was away for the holiday visiting relatives. I've just finished re-installing the problem audio equipment and the problem is solved! :) :)

My M-Audio 2x2 MIDI interface connection has disappeared though, so that was probably the problem? The re-install couldn't be completed because of unknown errors and W7 can't 'see' it when I plug and unplug it. That is a POS anyway -- took me 2 hours to install it the first time.

I do have printer related errors in the event viewer now also. The printer is located on my wife's network computer. Re-installing the drivers produced the same unknown errors as the 2x2 box. Anyway, I'll try to solve that & post a new thread if I can't solve it.

Thanks! Thanks!
