Via hd audio deck

Hey Mikesc380, okay I've now matched your problems tit for tat, as able to get the VIA drivers and the HD V-deck application to load finally by using the Vista compatibility mode.

My problem now is that the S/PDIF doesn't seem to be working at all. I was hoping the latest VIA driver would recognize it but to no avail. It isn't listed under my pc control panel or V-Deck. Nothing in the BIOS about it either.

There are a lot of problems out there re: our ASUS mobos with this particular audio chipset (VT1708B)
Asus boards with VT1708 sound please read - Via Forums

I'm emailing ASUS to see if they have any excuses. Will post the results.

Well The M4A78Pro driver did install with a newer driver version however the HD Deck software will not run at all, so I will go Back to previous driver package available from Asus for my MOBO. May be Asus Or VIA will get this fixed or they will get with Microsoft and figure this out. I keep watching for something new. The reason I say newer is the driver that installs w/ W7 is newer but doesn't have the feature to switch to Digital out. And The Vdeck software causes an Apcrash only when trying to switch to advanced user options. Mixe Did you hear back from Asus or VIA support yet?

Okay I heard back from ASUS and like I figured they bowed out of the problem.

"At this time we cannot offer support or troubleshooting help for Windows 7, and we may not have official, stable, non-beta drivers available for your board until the software is finalized (ie; no longer in Beta/pre-release status, as a driver/app for one build often won't work correctly with others, necessitating driver testing for each pre-release build isn't feasible). You will either need to contact Microsoft for troubleshooting/driver assistance or install a supported OS on the board (XP/Vista) in order for us to be able to assist you with any problems you may have."

I've loaded many things onto Win7 with no problems except this one. I'll probably submit the same ticket again only as a Vista x64 user to see if they come up with any useful tips.

Will advise...

Via Windows 7 64-bit 7300 driver download from VIA Arena has fixed my issues I was having. Not sure when it became Available but I have a newer looking Icon on Desktop For audio deck and it runs and allows me to use Digital Optical out now. Just thought I would update this thread.

I can't even open the control panel. As soon as open it throws an error.
Everything else seems ok.

I'm using win 7 build 7600 x32

Which Driver are you using? I got the 7300 Driver from VIA Arena and Have not had a Problem since it's release.

I'm using the same as yours, 7300, on a pcchips p55g.
