Digital Audio S/PDIF problem

[mihiloff]

So guys,I havent been turning on my pc(using win 7) for like a month,when i did it was saying Digital Audio S/PDIF and no sound was going nor through speakers nor through headphones.Before that everything was working fine.So,since i had some viruses on it i reinstalled win,formated both particions,but still that Digital Audio S/PDIF stayed there,in the device menager it says High Definition Audio Device,and it has 2 of them,i tried through device menager to update it but it says that the best driver is already intalled.I searched threads here,tried some downloads but nothing is changed.Since im a musician a little,gamer a little and pc user i really need to fix this,can someone help me?

Here are the specs

Headphones and Loudspeakers only accept analog audio. You need a Digital to Analog converter, i.e. a sound card, to decode the digital audio and convert it to analog signal which is then amplified by the amplifier and then transferred to headphones and loudspeakers which translate those signals to sound waves.

Try setting the "speakers" as the default audio device by right clicking the sound icon on the system tray -> playback devices -> click on speakers -> set default audio device.

Hey theveterans,thanks on your answer.

I have already tried that but when i try to do that this is what happends

I cant even do it,maybe my sound card isn't working? But how? It worked,PC wasn't turned on,how could it just die like that?

Disable the S/PDIF and then see if you can make the Speakers the default playback device.

This is an older motherboard and I couldn't find any Win 7 drivers for it, although it may have Vista drivers which will work. As you only have "High Definition Audio Device" that suggests that the generic, basic function, Windows installed sound driver and not the actual hardware sound driver.

Hey fireberd,thank you for your response,

Tried that too,i disable Digital Audio S/PDIF,but still i couldnt Set as default my speakers nor headphones,plus,if i disable Digital Audio S/PDIF i get this

 

[theveterans]

Is the 3.5mm plug connected to the "green color" slot on the rear panel of your desktop?

If it's connected to it, you should be able to set the speakers as the default device.

 

[mihiloff]

Yes,yes it is.My speakers are working,i can adjust volume and bass,i can turn them on and off.If i play something on my pc,Digital Audio S/PDIF is working it shows like the green bar is going up and down but nothing comes out from the speakers,i disabled Digital Audio S/PDIF and still nothing.Some of my friends say that it is about the drivers,i tried to download latest Realtek i couldnt even launch them,tried some for High Definition Audio,couldnt install them,i dont know what to do anymore,im not really a pc dude,i know to crack games and some little stuff,but i was never this "deep",so Im asking someone to help me please.

The amount of memory may or may not be an issue. I see you only have 1.5GB of RAM but have Windows 7 64 bit OS. The main reason for 64 bit OS is that it can address more than 4GB of RAM. In fact the 64 bit OS requires more system memory than a 32 bit, not leaving you much RAM. Microsoft system requirements are MINIMUM of 2GB for 64 bit OS.

 

[theveterans]

Alright.

Go to device manager -> Sound, video and game controllers -> right click on the High Definition Audio Device (if 2 shows up, just do the same for both) -> properties -> details -> on drop down, select Hardware ID's and copy and paste those here. I'll see if it's actually realtek or a different manufacturer.

You can also try those on a search engine to see which manufacturer and even find the right drivers for that device.

If it's realtek, try installing the drivers from the realtek website here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS...evel=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#High Definition Audio Codecs

 

[mihiloff]

Okay,

@theveterans thoose are the Hardwer ID's

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0862&SUBSYS_1565C601&REV_1000
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0862&SUBSYS_1565C601


HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_1002&DEV_AA01&SUBSYS_00AA0100&REV_1001
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_1002&DEV_AA01&SUBSYS_00AA0100

It showed 2 of them so i did for both.

Fireberd,I am not sure what do you want to say,but im using x64 since when i am using windows 7 which is couple of years now,everything was always working,even when i had 1GB of RAM,i put 1 more in another slot from 512 just so i can play competitive one game since i had some iching problems.

 

[fireberd]

Microsoft's listed requirements is 2GB MINIMUM for 64 bit OS.

 

[mihiloff]

I still dont know what do you want to say,for me,everything is working,im using a cd for windows 7 ultimate,the same one for last couple of years as i said and everything was working,now everything works also,just this Digital Audio S/PDIF showed up and i dont know to fix it,thats what im saying.

 

[fireberd]

I was just pointing out that you are below the MINIMUM requirements that Microsoft has stated. It may work, but how well it works is questionable.

 

[mihiloff]

Well,everything im using,works,and it is working properly.

 

[mihiloff]

So anyone have some solution or i can lock this topic?

 

[theveterans]

Did you download the drivers I provided from the previous page?

 

[mihiloff]

I tried to download from that site,but i dont know why i cant start the download,it just wont start,and when it does start,my download is just so slow(btw i have strong download speed dont know why it is so slow).

I have almost forgotten all about SPDIF after having hooked up my PC to my TV and amp in the living room years ago. I don't even touch that mini-PC now..

You are obviously using an optical cable one end of which is plugged into your PC.

Where does the other end go? (In my case it is the AV receiver/amp.) And is that equipment set to receive SPDIF input? Check,

 

[mihiloff]

@theveterans

Yes i did couple of them,and this is what it says.

 

[mihiloff]

So I installed Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs,and this is what i get

Still gettin' no sound from my speakers,and still cant make my speakers as default playback device.
