Problems with Supreme FX II audio drivers
Hey everyone,
Just registered here because I am at my wit's end with this problem. OK.
Using a Supreme FX II riser card for an ASUS P5E motherboard. Windows 7 x64
Had XP, all drivers worked, was using SoundMAX control center. No problems with my microphone, speakers, headphones, etc. Then I did a fresh install of Windows 7. Sound worked. Everything was fine until I tried getting my microphone to work. Seems like A LOT of people are having similar problems with driver issues, hardware, etc. A lot of people can't get their mics to work on Windows 7, etc. My speakers work fine, I am using my speakers as "High Definition Audio Device" default, which I am guessing is the default for a Win 7 install. I have tried both HD-Audio and AC'97 on the sound card. It's definitely not a hardware issue. The sound card works.
Basically, my motherboard CD won't run on Windows 7, so I can't try installing the drivers off of it. I went to the ASUS website and tried downloading the newest audio drivers for the P5E. I install it and I get errors. The drivers won't load after a restart. I just get a red X in my sound tray and no audio at all. I uninstall it and get the default Windows 7 drivers back and my audio works. But no microphone. Just a Line-In in recording devices. I have scoured Google and other forums, seeing a lot of people have similar issues, but nothing that I can really work with. I have tried other versions of drivers recommended, same problem. I am pretty sure it's a driver issue because I know I didn't install any manually when I installed Windows.
Anyone have any experience with the Supreme FX II and Windows 7? Any advice or suggestions are welcome. I don't know what else to do. I hear conflicting things from other forums and people. Really looking for help here since a lot of other people are using Vista or XP. I don't see a lot of Windows 7 stuff and that is what I am running here.
