No sound with P5P 800, drivers installed

[LithMaster]

Hi everyone, I'm running Windows 7 build 7000, and I have an ASUS P5P 800 motherboard that has an onboard sound device. After connecting to the internet, Windows Update installed 'Sound MAX Integrated Digital Audio' drivers, and the sound icon appears in the bottom right of the task bar.

The problem is that audio doesn't work (and flash games and videos are very slow, could that be a side effect of no audio?). Windows media player doesn't play sound files either, and clicking on the 'Web Help' button on the error message takes me to:
Microsoft Windows Media - Web Help
But my sound device is enabled and drivers are installed.

Also, if I right click on the sound icon in the task bar and go to 'Playback Devices' -> 'Properties' -> 'Advanced' and try to play a sound at any quality level, I get an error too.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Go to control panal -> Device Manager -> Sound, Monitors,...-> and see what you got. Right click and hit update drivers.

Chances are that wont work. I Have an asus and it didnt work for me so I went right to asus.com and downloaded thier drivers. I said I had x64 vista and nothing came up, changed to x32 and I downloaded the sound drivers from thier. The drivers installed fine on my Win7 and I restarted and Boom, sound worked.

I did the automatic update and that said that it's already updated to the latest drivers, I went on the ASUS website and downloaded the audio drivers, but the installation reported that my OS isn't supported, and even when I pointed device manager driver updates to the unzipped install directory, it still reported that the audio driver is up to date.

Geez, then idk, I did what I told you, my problem being similar, and it worked just fine for me.

Have encountered the same problem (with a P5P800 motherboard). Have also tried the drivers from Asus and so far, no luck. If I come up with a solution, will post it here.

Install the Latest Reltek drivers as they are working now and the older ones didn't

Realtek

Ignore me Guys, Didn't read your post correctly.

Hey everyone, I installed the ASUS drivers while in compatibility mode, and that succeded, but the computer couldn't restart, it froze at the startup screen, so for the 3rd time I had to reinstall windows. Now I'll probably go back to XP unless someone has a fix for my constant reinstallinations. Oh well, thanks anyways.

I received a response from Mr GRiM to use the Realtek audio drivers. I didn't think they would work (SoundMAX isn't Realtek), but tried them anyway. They didn't work. Went back out to the Asus site and downloaded the last version they had which were for XP SP2.

Ran the setup in XP SP2 compatibility mode, which prompted for a reboot to remove the current drivers. After the reboot, the audio device wasn't recognized, ran the setup for the XP drivers again, rebooted for the 3rd time, the drivers installed on reboot, but still no audio. Rebooted for the 4th time, and finally had audio on reboot. In case you want to check, the drivers that finally worked are:

Driver ver. 5.12.1.3630 (6/02/2003)
aeaudio.sys ver 3.0.2.32
drmk.sys ver 6.1.7000.0
portcls.sys ver 6.1.7000.0
smsens.sys ver 5.12.01.000
smwdm.sys ver 5.12.01.3630
The drivers are at ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

Good luck.

Genius, Thanks so much.
Been banging my head for weeks with no sound on Asus P4C 800-E motherboard with SoundMax Intregrated Digital Audio.
Downloaded Asus Driver ver. 5.12.1.3630 and installed in Win XP SP2 mode, now I have sound with Windows 7
Of all the Win 7 forums I've searched, you're the man with the answer.
I had to register and join just to let you know.
Thanks again,

Tengo un problema, se ha ido el Windows 7 y me dice que el perfil de usuario de servicios no le da inicio de sesion en el portatil

 

[Antonio]

En Acer 1650 El Audio no funciona bien y el Microsoft Office Student 2007 no funciona con el sistema ,pues me ponia que el perfil de uuario no daba inicio le hice una restoracion y desinstale el office y ya me funciona bien otra vez.
La culpa es de los drivers del office

If you get Windows 7 updates, you'll see new drivers for SoundMax from MS. Don't download them - they don't work.

i also am in possession of the p5p800 motherboard. ive tried to do everything as was posted by ghorwith, but to no avail. i now get this message that says "no ADI codec installed". and there is still no sound.

 

[ghorwith]

You mean P4P800, right? Make sure before you run setup.exe that you right click on it, select properties, then compatibility tab, and select XP SP2 compatibility.

Generally, the error "no ADI codec installed" means the installation wasn't succesful. Try it again, making sure antivirus software is turned off.

 

[Randy]

I got the "no ADI codec installed" on my restart after installation. Ran the SoundMax Audio Wizard, put a check for Speakers and the Wizard did the rest. Everything is fine.

 

[askewlipped]

no its a p5p 800 model. and i did run it in compatibility mode under XP2. everything installed and visually looked like it was working but there was still no audio.

I have problems with P5P800 soundmax adi 1985 codec


I just solved it using this driver and installing manually:

if you can't get this file, please e-mail me than I will send to you

 

[ghorwith]

Yes, as I described in January, the AD1985 drivers are the only ones I've found to work with Win7.

 

[jusce]

I've uploaded a driver combination that worked fine on Windows 7, on my P4P800 motherboard, with AD 1985, And Surround 5.1.

I hope it work for you...

No sound with PSP 800

Just to complete the thread, the drivers included in the RTM and (I presume) retail versions work properly with the Asus PSP 800 MB.
