Realtek HD no sound - Windows 7 RC x64

[tmackowski]

Did anyone manage to solve this problem?
I'm still strugling with getting sound on my emachines e725 / windows 7 rc x64

 

[Stabgotham]

Nope sorry. My ongoing battle continues. I've done everything I can think of. I'm about to try installing build 2132 on the problem machine and hope that fixes it. If not, I may be switching to Ubuntu on that machine.

My sound only works through external speakers. Bah.

When I plug in my head phones to the front audio panel it will not automatically swap to headphones. I have to change the default from S/PDIF to headphones to hear audio. I get no audio from both at the same time. Only the one set to default.

Setting the sound mixer to show all enabled devices and with S/PDIF set to default I can here a sound through either the head set and speaker when I click on the mixer slider for the devices. There must be setting that ports sound from an application to both at the same time but I have yet to find it.

For those having trouble perhaps this might help. Make sure disconnected and disabled devices will be visible. control panel>change sounds settings. On playback tab right click inside the window that list devices and makes sure these options are selected.

Tried it. No good for me unfortunately. I also just installed build 2129 on that machine hoping it might provide better compatibility. Still a no go. I just don't get it.

The board in question is an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. It's not my primary machine, so no biggie, but it still drives me nuts that I can't get that 1 thing working.

if you have an old cmedia driver from the asus website for x64 systems , you can use him and it works.
beware not to do a setup, but install him from the device manager.
go to your yellow signed high definition audio driver, cick properties and update driver.
go on look in my computer
go on let me pick the driver
it will come the menu with the driver listed, choose the high definition audio driver
choose have disk, it comes the menu from where you can scroll through your computer and choose your driver the cmedia 9880 whql certified for x64 systems, normally only runs under xp and 2000, choose the .inf file and he will install.( the azalia one)
the device manager shows now cmedia high definition audio driver and the red cross by the speaker sign on your desktop is finished.
i couldnt believe it

Hi,

I had the same problem, for some reason the realtek audio software kept messing things up, resulting in no sound.

My solution (cheat) that fixes it:

Step 1. In device manager go to "sound, video & game controllers", right click on realtek audio, and uninstall the realtek drivers.

Step 2. Then refreshed device manager and let windows 7 install its recommended drivers for my onboard audio.

Step 3. Enjoyed actual sound coming from my speakers.

I know this is a cheat, because you dont get all the bells & whistles found in the realtek software, but at least it works.

I have a Gigabyte mobo, realtek sound on board. There are bios selections that must be enabled?????
Also try going to the mobos website, see what drivers they are putting out there. I have never had this issue, so I wonder if its not W7.????? I used to use pci sound cards and had issues because of conflicts with the vid cards. Many pci and pci-e slots get assigned the same irq, 16. Possibly because of all the multiple vid card boards.

No Sound in Windows 7

Hi,

I had the same problem. After installing an update of windows, there was no sound from my speakers nor from my headphones. I solve it by going to Manage Audio Device in the Control Panel. In the playback tab choose speakers and then click on the properties button. go to the level tab in the properties window and verify that "Realtek HD Audio output" is on 100 (mine was on 0).

I hope I can Help

Please try this utility:

The problem you are probably having with the sound is the other devices you usually see in an XP operating system like line in, line out, microphone they don't show up and for some really dumb reason by default there muted so you need a utility like the one in the above link to unmute all your sounds.

This is the case if you have a working driver and the sound test shows the volume working but no sound is coming out. Speakers, headphone jack everything will work.

Solution to no sound playback

Hi all,

I too have recently installed Windows 7 and have been experiencing problems with Realtek HD Audio sound no playing back on my 5.1 surround sound setup.

I notied after installing the latest Realtek drivers the sounds were in fact registering on my system, the sound measuring bars on the volume mixer were moving. (right click the small speaker in the systems tray to find the Volume Mixer)

To fix this go to the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the systems tray.
on the top right of the audio manager you will see in blue underlined writing that reads "Device advanced settings" click it.

Next you should see two categories "Playback Device" and " Recording Device"
in the playback device category select the option that reads:

"Make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously"

This worked for me however my set up may be different to most of yours.

Hope it works for you all

Hi all,

I have a ASUS A8N5X with the Realtek ALC850 chip, Stereo Speakers connected (analog 3,5).
Running Win 7 Prof 32Bit fresh install. Windows drivers ok, no sound.
I Tried everything, but unfortunately after hours of installing drivers, restarting windows and connecting the speakers to every audio slot, there was no sound coming from the speakers.
Also there was no connection recognision, and on the right window you can see that no socket information is available. Perhaps windows thinks, that there are no speakers connected and so it does not need to play sound.

I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue, but this sound card worked like a charm unter Win XP Prof 32bit for about 4 years.

Tried every solution from this thread but no sound at all.
I'll buy a new card.

Wish you more luck than I had

Hmm This is Stupid but it worked..! :/

Well... i itched ummmed and arrrr'd over this for ages.. GooGle failed to help me this time so i went to basics.. i tried everything from using all different drivers, settings etc.. I uninstalled windows 7 and put xp on.. just to verify nothing was wrong.. And hey presto.. i had sound.!
- -
Soo back to 7.. after lots of pissin around and swearing at, kicking my pc.. i tried different thing and having plugged it back in.. i had sound... ODD.. cos i had no idea what i'd done.. days later i was plugging in a usb connection and just happened to notice.. i had my speakers plugged into the 'LINE IN' instead of AUDIO OUT connection..!!!!! obviously I'd done this by mistake by plugging in the connection blind as i couldnt be bothered pullin the unit out..!

So.. my solution is.. i get sound via the LINE IN and not AUDIO OUT.. mic works perfectly in MIC OUT so.. maybe windows 7 has this driver error a bit.. Back to Front?

Not sayin this will work for everyone.. but it just may for some?! give it a shot atleast.

I had the same problem but with windows 7 32 bit. Tried everything but finally got through control panel. Go to control panel. Then Hardware and Sond. Then Sound. Then Realtek Digital Sound Output. A prompt came the enhancement interfere with soulnd. Then disable Enhancements. Hope this helps. Test speakers and it sounds come through you are okay. Bkorol

Managed to solve this problem by downloading the ATI Realtek driver and setting it as default device.

 

[mmax]

my solution

i installed the driver in the cd given with the product.
then i searched through tabs, and maximized the sounds
then tried other entries as line in, out etc.
only front speaker out worked for me
i hope it helps

All,
After spending several hours of "no sound 5.1 troubleshooting", I looked at the manual for my new P8Z77-V motherboard and noticed the plugs in a different pattern. Instead of "3 in a row of "orange, black, gray", it was "orange, black, green". The "gray plug" goes in the "green port".
Now I have perfect sound.

Guys, just update your Bios for the latest version. Because many of users with 64 bit Windows 7 sound isn't working. (emachines e725)
