No sound

cvitullo · 02-22-2008, 03:14 PM

I just built a computer. everything works except the sound.
I went through the "Sound Problems? Try This First." post, and that didn't help me solve it, but i did notice that "Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus" isn't there. and there's an "Unknown Device" that i think is likely it.
is there anyway that this unknown device could be identified?

also, the only sound device registering is "ATI HDMI Audio"

Oh, and the sound works in the Realtek audio driver, in the 3D audio tests, but no where else.

Have you gone in to your sound and multimedia > audio make sure the devices shown are the reltek and check the box use prefered device.

all devices are shown in the hardware area, but i can't select anything for a sound device to use. (i disabled the ATI audio device because it wasn't doing anything.)

this video card (i've seen a few other forums with the same complaint, all recently installed an ATI graphics card)

HOLY CRAP i have sound now.
i didn't do anything, but it works. i don't care why, i care that it does.

cvitullo · 02-22-2008, 04:35 PM

scratch that, no sound again. :/
i downloaded (several) driver updates off the realtek site, but they fail with error code -0001. not sure what's going on there...

If you have the original MOB CD try uninstalling the device through device manager then reboot and let windows find it again then point it to the original drivers.

i uninstalled all the drivers for audio in add/remove programs, but the mobo cd still said they were already installed.

You need to go into Control panel > System > Device manager t and disable or uninstall the sound device listed there.
Windows is still finding the device listed there.

fixed it after i reinstalled windows.
I think i installed the drivers in the wrong order the first time, i did that on my laptop and it messed up some minor things like that.

just as advice to anyone with a similar problem.
