Am I the only person in the Country not to have resolved this?

For two day's now I've searched high and low for a solution to this. I have clean formatted my HDD prior to installation to ensure I get a clean install.

My Motherboard is a ASUS M2N-MX and I have tried several drivers from the Realtek site and ran them all in various compatibility modes without any success. I have even tried the DriverMax program posted in another thread and that says I have the most up to date driver:

Can anyone offer any help please before I lose the will to live?

Hi PacE and welcome to Se7en Forums :party:

I have checked the specifications of your motherboard ASUSTeK Computer Inc. and your audio device is NOT Realtek.
ASUSTeK said:
ADI AD1986A High Difinition Audio 5.1channel CODEC
Support Jack-Sensing and S/PDIF out interface

Now that confuses things. I can only go by what the ASUS website says, and it clearly states the above mentioned audio device (SoundMax) for your motherboard.

Unfortunately, they aren't quite ready for downloading. It is a bit annoying when they do that - updating the site before they are ready. This is not the first time that they've done that.

Looking forward to trying this later.

Have to say, I installed RTM last week, and the only issue I am having is with the onboard Realtek sound on my Asus P5B.

Pain in the.......
