Do i need to provide more information?


Had glitching plugged/unplugged messages for 2 days than soundcard stopped working.
It tells me when i plug/unplug headphones and shows that the sound is playing but i hear nothing. Tested on working sound output devices.

It's not a sound card, a sound card issomething you plug into a PCI slot, integrated means that it is onobard audio ports (on the motherboard).

You have to uninstall that later version of drivers then restart PC before install the version 5.10.0.6642

Some older games globally disable or mute or volume to zero the audio when you do it in-game so check your audio settings to see if the volume is set to zero, the WAV setting is zero or the Mute option is ticked. Even some audio editing programs do the same thing.

What program or game were you using when the audio stopped working?

It became silent after a restart.


Somehow i cannot change the version of the driver. I uninstalled the driver, restarted the PC. Installed version 5.10.0.6642, but dxdiag /64bit still tells me that Driver Version: 6.00.0001.6662 (English) still

Why the hell windows is installing newer drivers automaticaly without my approval ???

Update:
I dont get it, i deleted everything that i could related to "new" drivers but they keep coming back.
still version 6.00.0001.6662 (English). wtf?

Firstly, go into the bios and set the onboard audio to Auto rather than Enabled.
Next, you said in details -
"Had glitching plugged/unplugged messages for 2 days than soundcard stopped working."

This seems to infer a Skype thingy? What version Skype? Lots of issues with Skype recently.
Version 6.3 is the most recent but some users are reverting to the legacy version for better connection.

Also, check the Volume icon, it might be set to Mute or the volume is zero. Many older games do seem to globally change the volume if you happenchance to change it in-game.

It's not going to be an easy solution until we find a remedy and then we'll just say "DOH!"

Edit the Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG dates back as far as 1999 so it is only an updated version that Gigabyte is using on their motherboards. A Bios is not an easy thing to create, most motherboard manufacturers also use outdated bioses with added updates as "fixes" rather than starting from scratch. It's not necessarily the bios that is at fault, more likely a program you have installed or a recent "Hotfix".

Theres no such option in BIOS but i've found something called Azalia codec which had 2 options Auto/Disabled (left it on auto) I guess Azalia code is a codename for my sound device.

Skype version 6.3.0.105

Have enabled and set all volumes to 100%

Have set BIOS date to year 2000 (oldest possible) After that OS act's a bit weird.

Still no sound... :(

Update:
Booted into Ubuntu, no sound here :(

You have to set the current Time/Date in the bios, even do it in Windows as current otherwise the OS will be totally befuzzled and may kick up a BSOD or ten.

Disable Azalia and then see how things go.
Azalia is for the HD and Realtek is for the stereo sound, you can't have both enabled, it's one or the other.
