Windows 10: Enable Audio in safemode

Been researching how to do this, best option seems to be creating registry entries.

This worked, but another person said to use the `driver key` to name the new registry key....but the above procedure seems to have a default name, or am i missing something....wonder if this could be used for any PC
thanks
PS what does the [6cFgE] in @="[6cFgE][Sound, video and game controllers]" do ?

:)

 

BSOD

Fixed it! WHAT I DID was enabling boot option 1) and i restarted pc. When restarting it said adv options.. i was so happy.. chosed troubleshoting/startup settings/ok 4) safemode when restarting... didnt chose safemode w networking... hope itl work ty for
help

 

Windows 10 bootloop after failed install

Okay well tried what you said and the only options I have after pressing f8 are

Safemode

Safemode with networking

Safemode with command prompt

Enable boot logging

Enable low resolution video

Debugging mode

Disable automatic restart on system failure

Disable driver signature enforcement

Disable early launch anti malware driver

Start windows normally

Ive tried the safe modew and the disable auto restart however they too just flicker on and then it tries to revert back to windows 7 in the loop

Edit:when in safe mode I can move the cursor a bit and it displays that its in safe mode in the corner before the windows 10 logo comes back up and restarts the computer

 

Hi,

We would have to research more to check those keys, but the [6cFgE] is a component ID for semiconductors. See: http://6CFGE Datasheet | www.alldatasheet.com Where'd you get all those entries?

 

It was a Batch file found in a forum, to enable audio in safe mode, ran it on my PC and Laptop and audio works in safe mode...just wondered if this instruction identified the 'driver key' automatically....or if it's working with some sort of default 'driver key'
i suppose it's possible to copy the e.g. Minimal boot entries, rename and add with extra entries...e.g.rnable audio and or installer service.....just a thought.

 

It's automatic and not a default. Hypothetically; If you have two or more sound devices, it's working with the sound device and the drivers for it. You make this choice through the sound properties gui.

It's not a long read and explains the procedures a driver goes through to make software and hardware work when you click that icon. As long as what you did is working, I'd let it alone.

 

Thankyou, so Do I need to copy the driver key text individually, and use this for the new registry key.....as the driver key is different for my laptop and PC.....

thanks

PS I read the article, but it's a bit out of my league I am afraid...

 

You're welcome,

It'd be harder individually, keep it as a batch file and run it, it's automatic remember? If you haven't already, make sure you have your registry backed up. System Restore Point - Create in Windows 10

Not wishing to " flog a dead horse" but which part of the batch file makes it automatic ?

 

When you save a file with the .bat extension and then run it either by double-clicking on it within Windows or typing in its file name at a CMD prompt and touching Enter.

Sorry didn't mean that, I meant how does it find the correct sound card within the script

 

Do you see those bracketed numbers in your .bat file? I emboldened and underlined them for easier identification.

Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot\Network\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}] @="[6cFgE][Sound, video and game controllers]" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot\Network\{640167b4-59b0-47a6-b335-a6b3c0695aea}] @="Portable Media Devices"[/quote] They are numeric identifiers that are assigned to devices when those devices are installed onto a computer system. When your .bat file is run it's the first thing the registry looks for to finish assigning those identifiers to the rest of the required keys [notice the SafeBoot parameter] within your .bat to allow sound when you are in safe mode.

Notice the "s" after Sound, video game controllers and Portable Media Devices; It doesn't matter, the registry will assign the identifier to any sound card you pick.
