NO sound Windows 7 32-bit using Realtek HD audio
Hi everyone,
I am having issues with my sound(built in) and has been trying to fix this for over 6 months now.
Here are the details of the problem:
No sound after installing Windows 7 32 bit Ultimate or probably after installing the NVIDIA 9400 GT Video Card
still using VGA as my monitor only supports VGA.
BIOS:
Shows Azalia in Southbridge Audio Controller
Below that it shows HD Audio ( If set to this -- error in windows is "no device is plugged in")
If I change HD Audio to AC 97 (Windows will be able to detect my headset but no sound output)
Windows Environment:
AC'97 (bios setting)
Under playback the green bar is showing activity as I play an audio file, yet no audio output.
I checked Device Manager and driver installed is Realtek HD Audio (Supplied by Windows 7 same as the 9400GT drivers which was automatically supplied by Windows 7 upon installation.
Steps Taken:
1.) Try to uninstall the VC to isolate problem still no sound
2.) Uninstall and reinstall Audio Driver no sound
3.) Updated drivers ( Windows has the most updated driver)
4.) Manual update still no progress
5.) Tried install AC'97 Realtek ( test build so to install the drivers ) still shows HD Audio
6.) Used Driver Max to update drivers still nothing.
7.) I have magic jack (USB) and when I play a game while someone is using the phone, there is sound output on the handset.
8.) Updated Nvidia drivers still no sound
9.) CHeck headset and it works with my laptop
10.)Tried connecting to back panel still no sound
I was planning to buy a USB headset or a jack-USB converter but it's expensive and the jack-USB is nowhere to be found.
PLEASE advise if you have any suggestion... thanks!
