Realtek AC '97 - sound wont work on win7 ultimate
Hello there all,
I re-formated my pc to windows 7 ultimate. My sound refuses to work. It worked fine on xp, but on windows 7 it doesnt? In device manager, the sound device displays normally without a question mark because the driver is installed.
Its realtek AC '97 drivers, and its for my motherbords on board sound. I have tried for the past 3 days to figure out why it isnt working, but with no luck at all. Its really irritating not being able to listen to any music on my pc.
Notes:
1) The sound is not muted
2) the driver was installed
3) device manager doesnt display a question mark
4) the sound appears to play in media players eg. winamp, wmp, wmpc etc etc
5) i have audio codecs installed... didnt help at all.
6) even though the sound plays i hear nothing
7) the speakers ARE on and ARE working - tried other speakers too
8) volume is up on media players
9) speakers are plugged into the right jacks
So that should about cover the list of expected questions from the answers list i hope...
If anyone could give me a solution to this, i would be most greatful!!
Thanks in advance!
