1. I have a toshiba tecra A8 with windows vista. Since 2 weeks the audio not work. It say me that the driver is not valid, buy i go to the ads web and say me: 'ADS Tech does not directly distribute Windows Vista drivers for this device. This is because the drivers were developed by Microsoft.
2. No sound device is listed under the Playback Devices and the device is shown as 'ADS Instant HDTV PCI' in device manager. I cannot find any reliable information on this other than for Windows Vista and the only information I can find regarding that is that the drivers are packaged with Vista.

An ATSCPCI card from ADS Tech.

I had the same problem showing code 10.I did the scan & got no results. So I uninstalled the driver & was going to re-install it but now I cant find it.lol. What to do now??

Firmware

Drivers For Ads Instant Hdtv Pci For Vista

This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw¹) for the demodulator, which can be obtained using the get_dvb_firmware perl script included in the kernel sources:

Once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).

Note 1: All devices that use the Nxt2004 demodulator are currently using a firmware version from the AVerMedia AVerTVHD MCE A180. As the firmware's code has not been discerned, it is unclear whether other firmware for the Nxt2004 (i.e. those provided by other devices) would have any affect on reception performance.
