windows 7 + realtek alc850 ac'97 = i has no sound
realtek onboard audio doesn't work, got the up to date windows 7 driver and nothing
checked the acer website for the drivers, they have an X next to windows 7 and vista as an option for a driver download so i tried the xp option, still no sound. it's the realtek alc850 and ac'97 codec
my mobo
Audio Realtek Audio Driver 5.10.00.5930 30.1 MB 2008/12/10 <---the driver listed on acer's website
6.0.1.6305 <--- most up to date driver i can find on the interweb
i've been scouring these forums and it looks like i'm not the only one with the problem, and if anyone has found a solution they have not posted it.
tried using the windows action center and the microsoft fixit center.
any suggestions?
