Windows 10: IDT Audio Drivers 6504 & 6492

At this point you probably know as much as me.

Check the inf and ini files of your driver. It contains the install instructions based on the DeviceID (DevID) that your sound card identifies as. It then links to and installs all the appropriate settings for your card. The inf file gets used by the Setup installer or Windows DevManager. The issue with the new drivers is that they do NOT contain your DevID or they simply do not link it to any proper settings.

So your goal would be to identify the changes that you need to make to the new driver based on your old one.

You can use something like Notepad++ to "compare/diff" two different INF files. It will make it a tiny bit easier.

Once you start doing that you will understand much more about what is missing and what needs modding.

There will be other issues that will pop up when you understand what you are doing. The latest driver doesn't seem to have a beats control panel for example.

To install such a driver you will need to run in Test Mode. A lot of things will become self evident when doing this... other things will require a lot of testing. There are no shortcuts to this.


P.S

I am unsure if I managed to fix the Audio issue with a good cleaning or not. I certainly do not have the Windows Audio Graph issue anymore but I do have an FPS issue which seemed to be related to this.

It might turn out that this FPS issue is a separate matter. Am trialing games on the normal Windows Vanilla Audio drivers. Regardless I would suggest that you format and reinstall Windows 10. Especially if you did an upgrade from Windows 7.

 

I found this forum:

IDT/Sigmatel Support - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

Could be a start.

 

It is a good forum but I would still advise you to format if your current OS is an upgrade from Windows 7.

Like I mentioned: I have not see the Windows Audio graph issue anymore.

However I seem to be having a related / unrelated FPS issue.

 

I did a clean install of Windows 10 build 1511 like two months ago.

 

Am not sure if you are going to read this but unfortunately I still have the issue. A fresh Windows install (to make certain on the removal of residual IDT settings) did not help. Seems like we need another solution.

 

Indeed. My workaround is to play muted sound stream on loop - I use White Noise app from Store for this. You will have no issues anymore, but this workaround is less than ideal.

 

It seems I have found a working driver! Need more time for bechmarking, though.

 

OK, it seems the problem for me (HP Probook 6465b) was solved by installing HP driver version 6.10.6367 (sp57776.exe) in Windows 7 compatibility mode:

1) Uninstall current IDT drivers, reboot and delete any residual IDT files (Program Files\IDT folder) and registry entries (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IDT)
2) Download sp57776.exe, extract it, right click on Setup.exe, choose Compatibility tab -> Run this program in compatibility mode -> Windows 7)
3) Install driver, reboot, no more audiodg.exe eating HDD usage.

My System: HP Dv6 6050se / Windows 10 Home 64 Bit
Audio Hardware ID: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_7605&SUBSYS_103C1657&REV_1001
BIOS: F.1B
Please provide me with a link of suitable updated IDT driver. I have tried few updated versions but they don't work properly, the equalizer didn't worked with them.
The Original Windows 7 IDT Driver for HP Dv6 6050se is: sp55094 (It also doesn't work with Windows 10 properly)

 

Thanks litvcom, Your updated driver package WORKED well on my Windows 10 RS1...

However, I had SP65196.exe (which is also v6.10.6498.0) installed and working on my Envy M6 with hard ware ID (HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_76E0&SUBSYS_103C18A5), except for the FN+B (Beats Audio) and the Equalizer, in live play mode. i.e, if I change the settings I would not notice the changes until I restart the media player or browser.

I recognised that this compilation seems to be a mix of 6498 and 6504, so I extracted sp71717.exe (6504) and copied the files updated by Tempo Semi and SRS Labs in the WDM folder and injected them into the expanded sp65196.exe (6498) replacing existing ones, I also took a chance and copied stwrt64.sys but not the .CAT, .INI or .INF and reinstalled and it seems to be working well. (if you copy only the .EXE files in WDM, it will also work).

It sounds very similar (my be a little richer) and the Equalizer and FN+B are also working.

I would think that those who have the other Hardware ID would either find success in installing sp71717.exe or can copy the .CAT, .INF and .INI files as well.
