I installed Windows Upgrade Advisory and all were compatible on my hardware.

I have run out of any ideas for over 3 hours of troubleshooting.

This a challenge for me.

I hope someone could help me.

I hope a Geek person can help me.

I check the BIOS but i only see SouthBridge Via VT8237A and it was set to Auto.


I try the windows Xp driver came from Asus site and run compatibility mode for Windows Xp Sp3.

It installed but after restarting i got this error.

This error will only appears on 1 restart after installing the driver.






Restarting again the system no error pop up.

What this really means?

The good thing is that im hearing already a sound.

I will Try Vista driver? but its a Beta release. Is it safe to use it?

Thanks for the quick response.

I wanna add question.

Never try the vista yet.

I just noticed that everytime i SHUT DOWN the computer and turning on again the driver is always installing.

VIA standard PCI
PCI standard
High Def Audio
Soundmax HD Audio

This 4 driver is always keeps installing!



Did i mess up something in the settings?

But! if i restart the computer no driver is installing and its running fine.

Only have issues if i shut down the system.

I try the vista 32 bit beta driver and run vista sp2 compatibility mode.

I think its running fine.

The Soundmax icon disappear, no error pop up but it has a sound.




Edit.

OMG!

I try shutting down 2 times and turn on the computer the 4 driver is still installing!

The screenshots you show here have your computer using the SPDIF jack. What speakers do you have and what jack(s) is the system connected to. Are you connecting to an external receiver or does your speaker system use the SPDIF jack?

Edit: Reading the link at Microsoft answers you provide I see your problem more clearly, that the SPDIF is the only option you're getting in the software.

After looking further concerning this board, probably the only way to resolve the problem if you want to keep the Windows 7 installation is to buy a sound card and disable the onboard sound in the BIOS.

One thing you can try for the chipset is the reference Via chipset driver for Vista,

VIA Drivers Download - VIA Technologies, Inc.

Work your way through the dropdowns and select the Hyperion Pro for 32 bit Vista. Via never made a chipset driver for that chipset (PT880 Ultra) for windows 7. Not sure what if anything they included in Windows 7, or if that chipset is just supposed to work off the default Windows driver.
