Re-installed Windows; message still appears. How to make it go away? Saturday, October 18, 2008 12:25 PM All replies 0 Sign in to vote Background: This error occurs after trying to uninstall the updated (and overrated) C-Media WDM Audio Driver for onboard sound that appears after upgrading to XP SP2 and/or going to WindowsUpdate. Likely the driver didn't work, so you tried uninstalling the driver and were going to put back the old Realtek AC'97 driver, but couldn't get rid of the updated driver.To fix: Start, Run, type in "regedit" (no quotes), and delete the cmaudio string from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. This makes it so it will not run on startup and try to find the cpl file that was deleted during the uninstall or not installed correctly by the installer in the first place, whichever your case depending on when you started seeing the error. If your sound was working perfectly before this, you are done. To get your sound working again if it isn't, read on - While still in the registry editor, click on the top computer icon in the Registry Editor to highlight it (so that it will do a complete search of the registry and not just from your present point forward), do a Find (Ctrl+F) and find and delete all KEYS related to cmaudio and
update, it might not remove all the related files and registry entries from your computer. Therefore, when you reboot, your system may try to load the cmicnfg.cpl file, which is the Control Panel file for the C-Media WDM Audio Driver. And because you have already performed an uninstall, this results in an error. How to Fix cmicnfg.cpl Error To fix the error, you will have to delete a few registry entries and system files. Editing the Registry To make changes https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/08fbcc62-1c44-4300-9484-89e0b6f73e8c/cmicnfgcpl?forum=tabspace to the registry, open the Start menu, and select Run. Next, type Regedit in the Open field and then select OK to open the Registry Editor window. In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentV ersion\Run Here, delete the string, cmaudio. Deleting this string will stop the error from displaying at system startup. However, http://www.instant-registry-fixes.org/fixing-cmicnfgcpl-error/ this is just a cosmetic fix because we are just removing the command that loads the file at system startup. Now, in the Registry Editor window, press Edit and then select Find. Search for all keys that are related to cmaudio and C-Media and delete them from the registry. Next, navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentV ersion\Control Panel\Cpls Here, delete the Cmcpls string to get rid of the WDM Audio Driver's Control Panel icon. Warning: Make a backup of the registry before making any changes to it. This is important because all changes made to the registry are irreversible and if you make any mistakes, you may cause more damage than repair.
