Asus P5VDC-X Windows 7 X32 Sp1 No Sound!

Ok thanks for the time and helping me.

This motherboard has no problems in Windows XP Sp3.

I wanna make it clear.

The 4 driver

VIA standard PCI
PCI standard
High Def Audio
Soundmax HD Audio

which Windows keeps installing this only happens after i install the Windows Xp Driver and Windows Vista Driver.

Earlier before i install the XP and Vista this 4 driver has no problem.



@fireberd,

The bios has a Chipset which is North Bridge Via PT880 Ultra and South bridge via VT8237A.

This are the options for North Bridge Via PT880 Ultra
-Dram clock Timing
-AGP and P2P Bridge
-V-Link Data

This are the options for South bridge via VT8237A
-Onboard Lan
-Onboard Lan Boot Rom
-High Definition Audio (Auto)
-PCI Delay Transaction (Disabled)

If i remember only PCI Delay Transaction is disabled.







@Wordsworth,

I have USB power and a Green jack for the audio Acer Spearker Brand.

The microsoft only gives me a SPDIF jack.

After i install the vista driver i have this.


This has a sound but windows keeps installing the 4 driver.




@stormy13,

Ok i will try that.

@stormy13,

I downloaded Via version 5.24A for vista 32 bit.



I restart the system 2 times.

A very sad result .

Windows 7 keeps installing again the 4 driver

VIA standard PCI
PCI standard
High Def Audio
Soundmax HD Audio

From what I gather, you now have sound coming from your speaker system (so you can play cds, etc.) but you still have the drivers installing on start-up problem.

Since you've already installed these with compatibility mode, I don't see any other options. One person I found online solved Windows 7 re-installing drivers with a BIOS update. You can look into that but from what I see at Asus' site, the last BIOS update for your motherboard was in November 2006. You can check to see what revision you have running but I wouldn't hold out much hope that an update would solve this.

You have the problem I had until I built new which is the hardware is getting old, so it's hard to find driver updates that will work.

Again, the only other option I see is to buy a sound card and disable onboard sound in the BIOS. They aren't too expensive although I don't know where you live and what's available to you. This should work although it's not a guarantee either using a newer sound card with an older board. But the drivers for it will be for Windows 7 if the card is new enough.

So this is hopeless?

I thought Windows 7 Will work my MOBO.

Well its works! but but their is a problem that cannot be solve only the sound.

Im thinking a computer guru or a geek can make a way to solve this problem.

The only solution is buying a soundcard.

I have no knowledge for soundcard.

Can you help me what type of soundcard does my mobo works?

or

How to know if my PCI slot will works on the soundcard?

How about this?

Example only:

PC Gilmore Computer Center

Will the CMI8738 soundcard works on my Mobo?

This is the cheapest Soundcard on their list about 6$ only.


I can gumble this kind of amount for a testing =)

I agree with Fireberd chubalz, that sound card is too old; that's why in my previous post I said, "But the drivers for it will be for Windows 7 if the card is new enough."

If you buy a sound card, make certain it's compatible with Windows 7 (that is it has Windows 7 drivers) or you'll still be in the same situation you're in now.

I can't find another card at the site you link to, it seems as though the other links don't work. If you can find another site you might buy from maybe we can help you further.

Well if you look at windows 7 compatibility..

It is said its compatible

Windows 7 Compatibility for C-Media CMI8738-MX Sound Card: C-Media. Drivers, Updates, Downloads

Ok im going to Computer store and look the cheapest soundcard that has a Windows 7 logo.

Im very stupid! and innocent.

I went to computer store and try their soundcard.

It installed but i noticed that every boot windows keep installing

VIA standard PCI
PCI standard
High Def Audio


Well i went home and didnt buy it because of this.


Upon thinking i remember that the pop up driver is not from the external soundcard because the pop up came from the driver of XP and Vista.

Device manager didint remove it.

The VIA driver of XP and Vista has still remnants on device manager


So my question?

I disable the High Def Audio in chipset.

So what about the device manager? does windows automatically remove all the remnants on the build in soundcard driver?

I forgot to remove on installed program VIA software.
