Ok ,
It looks like for some reason Windows is not seeing the Analogue HDA - this reason could be that the hardware is not enabled in the bios, you may want to check in the BIOS settings that the sound is enabled, I have seen this where new machines are set up with just the digital sound active
How you get into the BIOS varies from system to system but is normally a case of pressing either the DEL or F2 key when right at the start of booting the machine (before windows Boots) but there should be a message appear on the screen saying press ... to enter setup or similar
Once into the bios use the keys to select the correct page (normally "Integrated peripherals" or similar) and you should find one or more sections relating to the on-board sound system.
Hope this helps, You may have better information in any documentation you received with your system
I couldn't find it in the BIOS options - the only audio options I could see were on the south bridge options on the chipset. I looked at the documentation and they've been thoughtful enough to include it in every language except English. Oh well, perhaps this could be my incentive to learn Turkish...
Ok if I can just confirm the model number is a p5kpl 1600 desktop - I will try to find some further information on the M/B and post back
Hi,
First off your manuals are available in PDF (in Engilish ), Here ....
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Looking at the manual the Southbridge Audio setting should be set to Azalia to switch on audio
The other thing to check is do you have any audio (speaker) icon in the system tray other than the standard volume control
This is strange as you see the driver in the device manager but it does not show in the control panel.
All I can suggest is to go into the Device manager right click on the Sound driver and select uninstall, (if you see an option to remove files say yes).
Then you should be able to "scan for hardware changes" and let Windows re-install - hopefully this will "find" the Analogue sound controller and solve the issue.
Other than that It may be a hardware problem with the chip itself
