No audio devices are installed. Please help.

Just reinstalled 7 without the SB Audigy. Started up and BING. HD Audio Device running fine in Device Manager and an HD Audio Device in Control Panel > Sound.

Sweet.

I'm a bit hesitant to try setting up the Audigy now because I'm so stoked right now to have sound that I'd hate to mess it up again so soon.

But if I was to attempt to get it working how should I go about it?

Disable Azalia Codecs, put the Audigy back in, download this driver:

Creative Sound Blaster audio driver 1.04.0090

Does that sound right?

I have the Audigy SE with the model number SB0570.

Aha... so it was the Audigy drivers.

The 1.04.0090 driver looks like the right one, here's fair warning... The Audigy cards (I have one too) sound like crap under Win-7. The Realtek actually sounds better.

You can try it, but besides disabling the Azaila codec I'd also uninstall the Realtek drivers.

There are a couple of third party SB/Audigy solutions that sound pretty good, I've always been partial to the KX drivers, they sound great.

In that case I might just stick with the onboard. Sounds just as good to me.

Cheers for all your help. Trying everything that you suggested eventually led to working out what the problem was.

Thanks very much.

Hey, no problem... glad to be of help. Win-7 has been playing bad with audio for quite a few users. The Gigabyte motherboards seem to do pretty well, I had a bit of trouble at the beginning but all is well now. Updating the MB BIOS helped.
