Understanding TM1 Laptop Drivers
Before downloading and installing TM1 laptop drivers, it’s crucial to comprehend what a driver is. In layperson’s terms, a driver is a software that enables a device to communicate with the computer system. When a device isn’t functioning correctly, the root cause is often a corrupt, faulty, or outdated driver.
In the context of a TM1 laptop, users often encounter issues with sound or audio device drivers. However, this guide will provide a comprehensive solution for installing all device drivers of the TM1 laptop.
The Need to Update or Install Drivers
Users typically must update or reinstall the concerned driver to rectify driver-related issues. While Windows can sometimes automatically update drivers for specific devices, there are instances when users need to download, install, or update drivers manually. This is especially true for external and special devices like VGA and Audio Cards.
Given the TM1 laptop’s recent entry into the market, finding one-click automatic driver software installers can be challenging. Thus, the approach for TM1 laptop users is to download and install the necessary drivers manually.

Yes, once you install a new Windows operating system on your TM1 laptop, you forfeit all the original apps installed on it from KA Technologies. Your only option is to search for product keys or use unofficial office activators such as KMS activator (you can search on Google). Regarding the WIFI, you need to install WIFI drivers.
Hello Sir,
About the TM1 “No audio Output device is installed error”, I have installed all your driver packages but I am still having the error,
I did exactly everything the blog said but I still have the red cross on the sound icon.
Sorry for the late reply. Try disabling your network adapter and restart the TM1 laptop. Let me know if you need more information.
It seems the tm1 comes with two different sound drivers because I’m seeing some audio proxy APO sample and several attempts to update it keeps given me error that the install class is not present or invalid
Yes, I have mentioned this several times. The TM1 laptop is a customized machine, using different hardware from various Chinese manufacturers, which raises incompatibility issues. If you want to fix the sound issue, you have a few options to try:
1. Disable some devices, especially the WiFi and display devices, before attempting to install the Audio Proxy APO sample.
2. Install only the recommended version of Windows. Get a TM1 laptop that is running the default OS and working perfectly, check the installed Windows version, and install the same version on your machine. Some TM1 laptops use Windows 10 Education, while others use Windows 10 Basic.
3. Get a fully working TM1 laptop and use software like Driver Extractor (search Google—there are many tools that can extract drivers from a working PC) to extract all the drivers and install them on your machine.
I hope this helps. If you still have issues, let me know.
