Realtek Onboard HD Audio  

Hi folks,

I am running Windows 7, on an Abit IB9 mobo which has Realtek HD Audio on board.

I have just installed Skype and cannot get the sound playback in my headphones to work.

Sound plays fine in the 2.1 speakers

My mic works fine using the generic MS drivers from Win update.

I have tried various drivers from Realtek (R190 Vista, R211 Vista, R211 XP) but cannot get my headset to work!

PLEASE HELP!!!

P.S. If you need more info about my rig, it should be in my profile, otherwise just ask...

Try Win7/Vista R2.30 version from here:
Realtek

Thanks for the reply Sassa, I followed the link, ticked the box, clickd Next and a plain white page comes up saying "Object Moved to Here" where "Here" is a URL, and it returns you to the same page in a loop...

Could you link me to the .rar/.zip?

Just a moment...

Here it is:
Download Realtek HD Audio Codec Driver 2.30 for Vista/Win7 Driver for Windows Vista / Windows Vista64 / Windows 7 / Windows 7 x64 - Softpedia

Cheers mate!

I'm glad I helped you.

Ach but I'm afraid after installation, more problems!

In Control Panel > Sounds, Front Mic is "Not plugged in" even though it is and Headphones do not show in Playback devices only my Speakers...

So now neither headphones or mic work!

Uninstall all drivers first and then install the new one...
Best way to uninstall all drivers is in device manager, right click on sound device icon and choose uninstall,don't allow windows to install drivers, restart and install r2.30 only, don't install driver via windows update.

Does your control panel have the Realtek utility? It allows you to make assignments:



You can check to see if sound ports have not been activated?
