Realtek HDMI: HDCP in Vista; not in Win7

I tried uninstalling both and back on in the order. No luck. I'm formatting it. Should I do the realtek HD, then HDMI, and then the catalyst? Or, catalyst before the realteks?

Thanks so much for your help!

Not sure it makes a difference, but I installed the video drivers first, followed by the Realtek HD, and then the HDMI.

Try using the catalyst setup from your Asus install disk and see if that makes a difference.

I just tried a fresh install and then the realtek hd, then hdmi. No go. I tried to add the latest catalyst drivers and the thing memory dumps everytime on that install. I'm formatting now and trying the asus vista drivers now.

I would use the CD that came with it but I chunked them the day I got 'em. :)

Been there; done that. Now I always backup copy every install CD I get to a "Reinstall" directory.

I give up. I've worked on this for hours (again). I got the Asus catalyst vista drivers installed, did the 2.15 Realtek HD, then the 2.13 HDMI drivers. No go. I've tried copying, replacing, turning services on and off, digging through ini's, every version and driver i could get... I can't get the HD audio manager to show up.

It's like audio manager never gets installed. I've got everything working except for my digital out. I tired of seeing "PCM, DSP" on my Onkyo! I'm delirious from this thing!!!!!

I would buy another low profile pci hdmi card tomorrow if I knew it would work...

RtHDVCpl.exe is the HD Audio Control Panel. It's in the HDA folder under Program Files/Realtek/Audio on my Win7 machine.

Mines under program files/realtek/audio/installshield

Somethings not right when I install it...

So I enabled administrator log ons and did the 2.15 install. It memory dumped on the next boot and then ran the repair on the next boot. Whats weird, is after that, I see the install files under the realtek/audio directory. I'm getting closer! What I don't see is any reference to rthdvcpl.exe in the registry or startup items.

Anybody got some info on these? I WILL get this working. :)

Hi,
i installed ATI vista audio driver for win7 ( not realtek ), but in pass thorugh mode it is not working with cyberlink , but using other player i am able to play .
but if i installed realtek driver then i uninstalled realtek and installed ati driver it is working fine ? have u seen this?

Hello,

I confirm this problem - no HDCP on the Realtek ALC1200 from a P5Q, Asus 4850 HDMI connection to 1.3 HDMI monitor - through the usual DVI-HDMI dongle, if it's important. It worked on XP SP3.
There are also problems in the DirectX/EAX support take a look at the screenshots.

EDIT: After some reading (I skipped on Vista, so only now I find out about this...) I understand it's a... natural condition for Vista/Win 7, as it killed EAX and other proprietary formats in favor of OpenAL. As I didn't play any games yet I have no idea how this will affect me.
