Vista Speakers pop

badwin98 · 04-29-2009, 06:15 PM

I didnt know exacly where to post this so Im sorry if its in the wrong place.
I've also searched through a ton of threads and none of them fix my problem.

My sound in Windows Vista 64 doesn't work. I have a 3-day old EVGA 790i FTW mobo. (onboard sound)

I remember hearing crackling earlyer and now there is no sound. The only sound I can get out of the speakers is a pop at startup right after the Vista bootscreen, and a pop if I unmute and mute the sound.

I have updated drivers to Realtek HD.

I have a Linksys WMP54G PCI Wireless card installed. When this happened I had vista drivers. (broadcom I think?). I automatically updated afterwords and now I have linksys ver 4.1.

I have heard PCI wireless cards have caused sound corruption.

I have tried to go into linksys card properties in device manager to "Disable Bands" (a)....but there is no option to disable bands.

I have disabled the wireless card. I have uninstalled the wireless card. I have taken the wireless card out.

Still No Sound!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!

Hi, if you have something that is new and it does not work take it back, fiddling could void your warranty. I take it you ran the MB chipset drivers?

I have ran the mb drivers before EVGA told me to install Realtek HD drivers.
