Legacy Audio Drivers Listed in Device Manager After Upgrade

This article was previously published under Q227971

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with a legacy audio device installed, the sound card works but the legacy Windows NT 4.0 driver is still listed under Legacy Audio Drivers in Device Manager.

CAUSE

Setup does not correctly process the removal of legacy devices from the Wdmaudio.inf file. There should be no problem with the operation of the device even though the legacy device drivers are loaded.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, manually remove the legacy device drivers from Device Manager.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

APPLIES TO

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
