Solved No sound in windows 7

[spettro]

Hello, I'm new here, and I just upgraded from 64 bit vista to 64 bit windows 7 with the free upgrade program. The installation went fine, however I have no sound. I'm using an ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo motherboard, and the installation CD that came with the motherboard says it is not compatible with the operating system. Did I do something wrong with the upgrade? I chose to do a clean install, after backing up most of my files. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Realtek Definition Audio Codecs

Hit the check box and hit ok -> Choose the .exe file tat is for Windows 7 -> Let it download and run the installer

Should get your sound to work

After checking the box and pressing next it just says "Object moved to here" and takes me right back there.

I have had several folks have issues with the Realtek page (lousy page)

Go to Realtek -> Downloads (At the top) -> High Definition Audio Codecs -> hit the check box, next -> Executable file for Windows 7, Vista (download)

Downloads going extremely slow at the moment (40-60 kbs/sec). I'll post if it works. Thanks for your time and help.

Be thankful it is going that fast...Realtek downloads ARE VERY VERY VERY SLOW!!

After using the install wizard, asked me to restart my computer. I did. After that nothing really changed. I have a realtek folder, but none of the applications will open. Could this be just a bad download? Is there a mirror somewhere?

Sounds like you just downloaded the ZIP folder...

Go back and download the Executable file

Go back and download the Executable file

Tried again, downlading "Vista, Windows7 Driver(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file)". Its the only one on the page thats an executable file for windows 7

Anr running it does nothing?

Nothing at all. I've checked the folder where its gone

Program files (86) \ Realtek \ Audio \ Drivers \ and RtlUpd64 is the only application, which doesn't run. The audio section in my motherboard user guide says its a "VIA VT1708s 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC". Does that support realtek? I tried to find drivers for it, but everything I found just brought me to driverpro or related software that is no help.

Can you tell me the exact model of your computer and the MOBO in it?

I may have jumped the gun on the REALTEK

I may have jumped the gun on the REALTEK

Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo
Soundcard: Onboard soundcard on the motherboard "VIA VT1708s 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC"

The computer itself was built from parts rather than a model or a store model. The rest of the specs should be in my profile under the post

Let me just say...finding your board at the ASUS website was hard as hell but the driver master strikes again! I have found the exact driver for you

x64:ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-
x86: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

This page also houses the drivers for the rest of your board's components...update all of your drivers while you are there (and please bookmark that address!!!!)

apparently both links redirect to the OS selection...just choose Windows 7 (of x86) or Windows 7 x64 (if x64)

Definitely book marking this site. I went to the exact same place and couldn't find the model for the life of me. Is there a way to grab all 43 in one download? Or do they have to be done individually. Thanks again for all your time and effort.

Individually I bet...

I know what you are talking about...I managed to find a direct link off of one of those dummy websites that seemed legit...for once that evaluated as true...

Well this is funny, it does the exact same installation as the previous ones you sent me (Realtek), and it does the same thing. Creates the folder, but nothing installed. I downloaded the 2 ones under AUDIO, extracted them, and ran them both. Same thing. Do I need to make sure I get all of them done?

No you only need the first one under the AUDIO tab in the link...this is bizarre:shock:

Did you run the installer as an Administrator?

Yes I did, same thing. I've done all that I can think of. I'll start posting some screenshots, maybe I'm just being really dumb and doing the wrong thing, but I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right. The window on the bottom left is the folder I downloaded, I ran AsusSetup, did the same wizard, and installed the same folder that does nothing. (The one in the top right).
