Ever since I installed Windows7 on my laptop, I have received the error "Unable to find compatible SRS audio device" on start up. I have checked "device manager" and all audio devices appear to be working normally. I have re-installed Windows7 and I still have the same problem. When I play music, I get static on my speakers. When I use a trial subscription to an SRS audio product for purchase, the problem goes away. I'd like to fix this problem without paying for one of SRS's products.

    Uninstall the driver, restart the system. The try installing the same Windows Vista driver using Windows Troubleshooting. right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver via Run as administrator.
