Fresh Win 7 + latest audio drivers and still no sound.

[freemad]

Hi everyone.

Just did a fresh install of Windows 7 x64. I have the latest audio drivers installed - downloaded from Asus, My mother board is M5A97 R2.0. If you have a look at the image bellow you'll see what selection of Playback Devices I've got.

I couldn't find a thread with the same issue. Any ideas what I've done wrong??

Thanks !!

It might be a hardware issue or it is disable in bios. does it should any error in device manager?

What GPU do you have? You are using HDMI sound, so you probably need the right GPU driver.

I have a client that gets no sound with the latest AMD GPU drivers. I install the 14.12 driver and the sound is fully restored.

It's all good in both BIOS and Device Manager

I've got EVGA 560 ti and Catalyst installed ( AMD Chipset driver ). I might unistall the Catalyst and see if the sound will come back

It doesn't detect anything. I tried both front and rear. It only shows this all the time:

For the Chipset, you shouldn't have needed to install Catalyst. Since your GPU is from nVidia, are you running the latest driver from them? If so, try using a previous driver version.

I uninstalled the Catalyst, but there's no change. My NVIDIA driver is 353.62 as the latest one (355.98) was a trouble maker - causing the Desktop Windows Manager to crash.

OK, I fixed it. I uninstalled the latest Audio Drivers and I installed the ones that come with the motherboard DVD.

All good now. Must be something with the new drivers then which is strange as I did install the latest BIOS and drivers and everything was fine.

Thanks for your time! 😉
