Post subject: sndvol32.exe (audio mixer) will not open

I recently updated my Realtek audio driver on my laptop.
After doing so, I am unable to open the mixer, and am getting a message
telling me to install the 'new hardware' via control panel - blah, blah,
blah...
Attempts at reverting the Realtek driver are unsuccessful - system says
an earlier driver is unavailable.
Attempts at reverting system recovery are unsuccessful.
How can I get the mixer to come back?
Thanks...

I was not experiencing any issues prior to updating the drivers.
I did download the proper driver for my make/model (and Realtek chip).
I have uninstalled/disabled, and reinstalled drivers several times.
I have uninstalled and installed older version of driver with no change.
I installed via device manager >> Stay informed about: sndvol32.exe (audio mixer) will not open |

A couple of things you might try:
- Uninstall the sound card from DM (Device Manager), then have DM scan
for hardware changes.
- Remove your NIC from DM, and restart. You might have to uninstall
both devices, then reboot. (Those two devices tend to conflict with
each other in some systems. Installing the NIC after the sound card
might assign the "proper" interrupt to the sound card.) On a laptop,
you can't necessarily get to the NIC to remove it physically, so
removing from DM is your only option. >> Stay informed about: sndvol32.exe (audio mixer) will not open |

Try using System Restore to revert to a date before the changes were made. >> Stay informed about: sndvol32.exe (audio mixer) will not open |

I have already done this during the reversion stage of trying to get
this to come back.
I did not yet try disabling or removing the NIC. I will try this next
(they are both Realtek).

Scroll down to Windows Audio.
Startup Type should be Automatic and the service should be started.
If one or both are not as stated above double click on Windows Audio to open
Windows Audio Properties.
Change the Startup Type to Automatic if not already selected.
Click Start if the Services Status is not started. >> Stay informed about: sndvol32.exe (audio mixer) will not open |
