    PCI Sound card not detected


    Background
    I have an ASUS M4N78 Pro mother brd with build in sound. Window 7 did not detect the on board VIA1708S 8-chan High Definition Audio CODEC.

    Current situation
    I read Win 7 had problems with mother brd sound chips so I purchased an Auxentech X-Raider 7.1 PCI sound card.
    When I attempt to install the Win7 drivers I get a small error window popping up saying " Please plug-in C-Media Audio Device device"

    Can anyone help?

    mmino, welcome to the forums.

    First make sure that the Via onboard is disabled in the bios. Next re-seat the card (maybe even try a different PCI slot) and try the driver again.

    Solved the problem.

    I failed to mention that this Win7 OS was operating as a virtual machine.
    I had to install the emulation AC97 Realtek audio driver for Win 7.
