Hello everyone,

This week I received my Windows 8-copy. I installed it right away, and, as expected, audio wasn't working, as it wasn't when I had just installed Windows 7. I installed the drivers, that I got on a DVD in the same box as my motherboard (GigaByte GA-Z77X-D3H). When I tried to run this DVD, I got an error, telling me that the DVD does not work on this Windowsversion. So I ran it with the troubleshoot compatibility, that autoran it as Windows XP Service Pack 3. It worked, I installed all options and sound was working. I did some other things later that day, I downloaded Medal of Honor Warfighter with Origin for example, and Borderlands with Steam as well. The next day, I found out that sound wasn't working anymore :S I tried to download the audio drivers via internet, but they all noticed that there was no working audio device. So I fragmented my HDD, reinstalled Windows 8 and tried the DVD again, this time with no result. After this I tried downloading the drivers from http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4144#dl for Windows 8 64-bits version, they all didn't help.
So my problem is: audio isn't working :(
My PC:
CPU: Intel i5 3570K
GPU: MSI R7950 Twin Frozr
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H rev 1.0
PSU: Corsair HX 650W
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz

Thanks in advance!

I just did, and yes, the Audio device controler is enabled.
When I go to the sound control panel device list, I find my Speakers, they're checked and set to default device. Whenever I have sound playing, I can see that the device should be working, since the volume bar is showing in green that it's working. So, the device is outputing audio.
 
I must have plugged my microphone in the wrong place, it was set as headphone instead of microphone. Audio is working now, thanks for the help :)
