The OP said they are using onboard sound.

Yep I know but what onboard as the specs list two??

Have just searched and there is no drivers available for the Realtek as itis the audio listed for that mother board https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5BVM_SE/#specifications

My suggestion would be to ge a sound card not expensive and far betterquality sound in my view anyway.

I use Asus Xonar DG cards in all my machines and the sound is perfect

I looked at info about that MB and can't find why two are listed. Maybe the OP had a sound card and removed it?

Yes mate my point too I think at some stage there has been a card but do AMD do a sound card?? What I think might be the case is perhaps a GPU with audio perhaps??
What is AMD High Definition Audio Device? [Solved] - Sound Cards - Components#.

I believe some video cards have a SPDIF connector on them so you can have audio through your DVI cable.
I could be wrong though.

No mate the DVI is graphical stuff only for that you would need an HDMI hook up and I think there was mention about a HDMI via an optical port but in all honesty why bother when the quality is there from the normal jacks. The GUI is just perfect for me for effects and mixing etc

Xonar DG - Sound Cards and Digital-to-Analog Converters - ASUS

Yep that is what I wold do Shari inexpensive and much better quality sound too.:)

ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Newegg.com is the one I use good effects and mixer if you like mucking around with sound:)
