New windows 7 prem. 32 bit on new HD. No sound from onboard device.
I have a dual boot system with XP home on another hard drive and I am able to get sound from that operating system. It is VIA vt1708b chipset on an Asus m3a78 model motherboard. XP has no problem playing sound as stated but when I switch to windows 7 I get nothing. I have tried the drivers from asus's web site as well as some from VIA's site with no luck. I know the motherboard is a littlt old but its not that old yet. I am not getting any errors in device manager and there seems to be no errors anywhere with regards to the sound device. Again, XP plays sound but windows 7 will not. This is a fresh install of windows 7 on a new hard drive and I am running out of ideas as to why windows 7 does no want to play sound.
Any ideas would be appreciated and if any other information is wanted please let me know.
Thanks for reading and any input anyone may have.
Good day
Warren
