This is my first post ever. Please bear with me. My problem is that I get no sound on my new self built computer. I am using the 64 bit version of W7. I am using a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 MOBO that has built in sound. My sound system works fine on my old XP computer. Is this a 64 bit problem or have I done something dumb? Thanks for any help I can get.
Welcome Ed to Win 7 Forums
Go into control panel and click on sound.
Check and test settings here.
maybe the driver is the problem, are you sure that you install the right driver for sound built in ??? (windows 7 x64)
hope you find solution for this problem
Thanks for the response. I have been there and tried various settings, but still no sound. I am not sure what driver I need. Where can I find out what the correct driver is?
Go into Control Panel, Device Manager,Open Sound and see what you've got going.
Click on items in Sound and look for drivers and update from there.
Looks like I have 6 Windows system 32 drivers here.
dmk.sys
HdAudio.sys
ksthunk.sys
portcls.sys
SysFxUI.dll
WMALFXGFXDSP.dll
I think I may have downloaded the last two and tried them, to no avail. Thank you so much for your interest.
That's what is there. Just checked device manager again. It also says "High Definition Audio Device". The Mobo book says that the audio is Realtek ALC889 codec.
Can I install a separate audio card and bypass this whole mess?
Do search to Realtek.com/driver downloads/ and put or search for ALC889 driver updates.
Download latest driver from Realtek.
Will do. Should I delete whats there before I install the Realtec driver?
