Think this goes in here (audio problem)

Banny · 7 Nov 2008 at 20:27

Just putting together a cheapy rig for a friend.
Board is an MSI G31M3F and I have installed the Realtek audio drivers but there is nothing in taskbar at all.
I have tried updating them, unistalling everything.
onboard sound is enabled in bios, but that makes no difference.
I have run out of idea's now does anyone have any suggestions so I cant get the thing out of my way as it has been a pain from start to finish and I want to see the back of it.

check device manager see if its listed but not working, if not then the board chip is faulty.

Control Panel and tick the check that makes the sound icon show up also have a look if the drivers are installed..

Argh this is annoying. I had this exact problem on my last build, but I can't bloody remember how I fixed it!

Have you tried control panel -> sound and audio devices -> device volume -> advanced?

when you enabled sound on the bios did you say yes to saving it.

Banny · 7 Nov 2008 at 20:51

tried unistalling these two yellow PCI devices and installing again, but windows cant find any drivers for them

mattheman · 7 Nov 2008 at 21:04

tried downloading the drivers?

no audio device, all I have is legacy audio drivers

Install the Microsoft UAA driver first.
You may have to uninstall the audio drivers first. See this previous post - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17935447

getting it now, will post back if it works

Banny · 7 Nov 2008 at 21:57

Nope downloaded a UAA driver (HP one) installed it, looked in device manager under system devices not listed there, installed realtek drivers still no sound card installed.
What a nightmare.

ns400r · 7 Nov 2008 at 22:05

Which operating system?

Do you also own an ATI video card with built in audio?

Can you take a screenshot of your device manager and post it here?

Did you uninstall the drivers, did you look for the UAA driver before you downloaded the latest one?

Get the full UAA and audio drivers directly from Realtek.

Banny · 7 Nov 2008 at 22:11

Win XP sp3
3850 with hdmi driver installed but that not working.
looked for UAA before downloading latest one, was not there.
the two yellow icon are listed under other devices
