    That is normal, it will auto install a windows driver, but you still need to go on your motherboards manufacturer each time you uninstall and install the newest audio driver according to your system

    A Repair Install might work. And don't give up, I'll see if we can get someone else to help if the Repair Install doesn't work.

    I gave up guys. I've just installed a fresh windows 7 on my SSD. I have a complete image of the drive as it where though. The audio is working perfectly now, I haven't installed any VIA drivers, and I don't dare to install it either. From now on I will invest in Acronis true image. I will juse the Try&Decide option, so I can always turn things back if something goes wrong.

    I did as you guys advised me to. Unplug all devices, enable/disable in bios. Change front panel setting (from AC97 to HD) etc.

    I really appreciate all the help guys! :)

    Or wait a second. How much space does the repair solution take? I might try it out. My only concern is that I only have a 64gb SSD, so there might not be enough space.


    Edit.

    You must have at least 8.87 GB of free space, more if you have a larger installation, on the hard drive/partition Windows 7 is installed on to do a repair install.

    It works if I stick to the fresh windows install, but not my old system. Right now I'm trying to do a Repair Install install of windows 7. Hopefully this will fix my problem. Currently I'm struggling to get that done. "your current windows is more recent than the version your trying to upgrade to".

    Any suggestions?

    Edit.


    Got the repair install to work. Fingers crossed. Hope my audio issue get solved :)

    Actually, you guys did help me to get this to work! :) I always keep a complete image of my OS hard drive. I rolled back the originally windows drive where the sound wasn't working and then tried to do the windows repair install. I started the process right before I went to bed yesterday, and when I woke up this morning everything was working like a charm.

    I didn't know about this repair install before you guys mentioned it. It's a great feature to get a fresh windows install without having to format the disk and loose all settings. All I had to sacrifice was a game installation due to lack of storage space.

    A good hard drive image creator is really a life saver, I've used the O&O DiskImage 6 and it have really helped me. From now on I'm going to check out Acronis Try&Decide feature a long with making a entire image of my OS hard drive once a week and place it on my nas. Backup is your friend :)

    I really appreciate all the help guys! :)
