Would you post a screenshot of your device manager with the sound, video and game controllers expanded?

Do you have two audio icons in your system tray? The default Windows speaker icon and the Realtek audio icon?

 

[computerNewbie]

yup, the red and the white one

I think the issue is in the bios, have another look around as the graphics card will also be labeled a HD- Audio device.

 

[computerNewbie]

okay, and what if i installl a newer version of the bios?

Services

Type "services" in the start search bar and select the gear icon.
Look for Windows Audio You will find two services make sure both are started.

 

[computerNewbie]

hammerhead, they are both started

 

[computerNewbie]

linnemeyerhere, i looked around and all the audio options are enabled

Let's go back to when you assembled your system. You said the motherboard worked previously. Did you have Windows 7 installed with this motherboard before? What changed when you bought a new case?

Question

This will sound stupid. When you installed Win did you install the games that come with it?

 

[computerNewbie]

hammerhead, yeah... i think, i have chess titans and game explorer

 

[computerNewbie]

kegobeer,
i had windows vista insstalled previously.
nothing had changed when i bought the new case, except for everything had been put in the new case

 

[computerNewbie]

kegobeer,
i also isntalled windows 7 later on and if im not mistaken, thats when my sound stopped working.im not sure though

 

[kegobeer]

Well, at this point I'm out of ideas. I would just reinstall Windows 7, this time using the drivers you downloaded directly from Foxconn. First - when you installed 7, how did you do it? Was your hard drive previously partitioned? Did you allow Windows 7 to create the 100mb restore partition?

 

[computerNewbie]

kegobeer, i honestly dont know if my hard drive was partioned

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Wow, I'm getting stupified, how about removing the graphics card and setting the onboard video as default and check if the audio kicks in and then add the card back in?
