Hi,

I need some help please with something that has been causing me a headache for ages now.

In my Device Manager I always seem to have a High Definition Audio Controller disabled. When I right click on it and select properties it says 'This device is disabled. (Code 22)'

When I try to enable it it shows a little yellow caution sign.

I believe the device is on one of my AMD 7970 graphics cards which I have installed and are configured in Crossfire.

Any advice would be great.

Very interested in this as I had the exact same issue after installing Win 8.1, has never caused any issues so not looked for an answer :p
 
Its the same on mine. Think its because theres nothing connected to 2nd card so windows 8 disables it. On win 7 it was enabled and manage sound settings took ages to load.

With something like this, if you've installed all drivers and everything works fine. I'd put it down to a windows/driver kwerk and ignore it.
 
I am not sure if this is what fixed the problem but I turned my onboard sound setting to Auto in the BIOS. It was set to Enabled.

Again I cant see why this would make a difference as it was the Graphics card I thought I was having the problem with.

Its probably just coincidence.
 
Sorry to resurrect this, but :p

Just asked about this in the drivers forum, ive just installed 2x Fury Tri-Xs, and ive noticed this now, under the System Devices in the Device Manager, ive got 2x High Definition Audio Controllers, one Enabled, one Disabled, with the black down arrow, and a code 22.

Must be a kwerk as said above, as im not having any sound issues at all, im using a Xonar U7, via the USB.
