Hi guys,

I just formatted my PC and am slowly getting everything back to normal...the only thing is that the sound driver as listed here >>

just links to a broken page. Anyone know what else I could use?

Thanks
Mike

Hi I downloaded the zip file - extracted it and double clicked the installer which appeared to complete and asked for a restart. I did but still no sound!?!

Under sound video and game controllers there is:

Audio Codecs
Legacy audio drivers
Legacy Capture video devices
Media Control devices
and Video Codecs.

None of the above seem to be the actual driver for the on board sound....and suggestions? As you may have gathered im not the most technically minded soany advice would be much appreciated.

Build spec is:
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

No software program can see an installed audio device and I dont get an audio control panel or anything like that

Klytus · 23 May 2009 at 16:33

have you enabled the onboard hd audio in the BIOS?

Aloreth · 23 May 2009 at 17:26

yep!
It was all working fine before i decided to format it....now the sound doesnt work!

Klytus · 23 May 2009 at 18:46

Is it visible in device manager or are there any unidentified devices (yellow question marks)?

Aloreth · 23 May 2009 at 22:57

In device manager there is one yellow 'other devices' category with an 'unknown device' within it. If I try to update the driver for the device and point it towards the folder containing the driver that I downloaded it doesn't work.

In addition, under 'system devices' there is a 'PCI Device' that is flagged as yellow....not sure what it is but thats an unknown as well!

Bony Maloney · 23 May 2009 at 23:39

Have you installed the Abit uGuru driver? That flags up as "unknown device" if not installed (doesn't fix your sound issue I know)

Thanks all! Got it working now..the generic ones from the Realtec website worked, just had to find a few system 32 drivers from my windows folder as well.

Thanks for the help anyone that contributed
