My sound just stopped working this morning???

paulhol · 10-25-2006, 05:46 AM

I installed Windows Vista RC2 last week and it has been fine since, until this morning when i turned my PC on and there is nothing anymore? It was fine last night and all i changed a couple of audio output settings which i have changed before with no issue. I have just done a fresh install of Vista and there is still the same problem? The motherboard is a Gigabyte DS4 with BIOS F2 and i use the onboard sound

Firstly reinstall the driverf from your motherboard disk.

the plot thickens . . . after reinstalling every driver under the sun as far back as reinstalling vista itself, i decided enough was enough and went back to tried and tested windows XP - and still no sound??? I flashed the BIOS to F6 and am back to Vista with the latest updates. IS it becoming safe to say this is a hardware issue, if two OS's, 2 BIOS's and a variety of drivers wont fix it???

hmmm........are the settings for onboard sound switched on in BIOS?

paulhol · 10-25-2006, 11:46 AM

yes the azalia codec is enabled in the integrated peripherals section of the BIOS (if you know gigabyte bios at all). aside from that absolutely nothing has changed setup wise from last night to this morning
