Question:
HELP!!Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio Mixer Error!?
2009-01-12 21:25:44 UTC
I can't hear anything from my sound players. I checked the device manager and it has a yellow circle with and an exclamation point. I checked what's wrong and it told me this:

"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"

Please help me, the computer silence is getting on my nerves.Thanks!

Possible solution I found searching around.



On the System Properties panel, Advanced tab, Environment Variables button, under the User variables click New and create a variable named

devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices with the value of 1.

Open the Device Manager and select Show hidden devices from the View menu.



Under the Sound, video and game controllers group, find your sound card(s) and disable it/them (don’t need to uninstall).

Then uninstall the following devices:

Microsoft Kernel Audio Splitter

Microsoft Kernel System Audio Device

Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio Mixer

Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver



Select Scan for hardware changes from the Action menu. Now the system should redetect and reinstall the deleted devices automatically. You may get nonsigned driver warnings, click continue.

Enable the devices you disabled in step 4. You may need to restart the computer.

The problem should be disappeared, you should be able to play sounds.

Hi, I had a similar problem. Got it fixed by doing a system restore... infact, just 10 min back. I have dual boot system with XP and Suse 10.3 linux. The problem started after I installed some multimedia & flash software in my Suse 10.3 OS. Once I came back to XP, although my sound card was working fine, songs were not being played. These two (Microsoft kernel wave audio mixer and Microsoft kernel audio splitter) showed up as plug-and-play devices under device manager -> sound, video and game controllers. Once I did system restore, the sound has been restored and these two have disappeared from the device manager. Hope it will work for you as well. good luck
