Realtek alc888 amd problem

[voltron]

I went from xp to windows 7. I have a custom built machine. alivesata2-glan board with realtek alc888 on board. I installed build 7600 on it and I cannot get the audio to work. I have the red x in the bottom right. It says no audio output device installed. The DM gives me a code 10. I have tried downloading the latest driver directly from realtek and had no success. I also tried installing it in safe mode and vista compatibility mode. I have tried the myriad of other ideas in this forum and other to no avail.
I will also say that I had this problem when trying upgrade to vista a while back. I couldn't solve it then so I gave up and rolled back to xp. I would rather not give up this time and any help is appreciated.

Try these...make sure to install them as an Administrator and in compatibiliy mode

If that doesn't work...also try these
Realtek

Tried both and no change in situation. I noticed a Bios update is available, nothing in the notes mentioned an audio fix, but will try it anyway. Any other ideas?

still nothing

I have tried all ideas presented. I attempted to flash the bios, but after using four different bootdisk methods, I was unable to get the flash program to work. It was a long shot anyway as the notes never indicated an audio fix. Does anyone have any other ideas?

problem solved

It was the BIOS firmware. I flashed it and the drivers installed fine.

Thanks for the help

I am glad you sorted that out...I was going through the rest of my subscribed today and I was going to recommend a BIOS update as the last draw...to see if we could get it to work
