I just bought a new hard drive, and when I installed windows 7 onto it I couldn't get any sound through it.
Realtek is telling me I have a microphone plugged into the front panel (which I haven't), and that there's something in the s/pdif slot (there isn't).

(sorry about the link, it was saying I have to be a confirmed member to post images, though I've already clicked the link that is meant to confirm me as a member)
The sound was working fine before I installed windows on my new drive so I'm not sure what the problem is, but i'm guessing it's hardware related, as now when I plug my old drive back in, the same problem occurs.
I have an Asus P8Z68-V pro/gen3 mobo, and the new drive is a kingston hyperx 3K ssd 120GB.
I've had a browse, and it seems that others have had this problem beofre, but I couldn't find a working solution for it. I have taken out the front panel HD audio to try and disable the them completely, but it's still saying there is a microphone plugged in.
I'm not certain that the microphone problem and the sound problem are related, but I assume they are.
The speakers are set to be the default device, and the volume mixer shows that sound is being played with the little green bars, it just isn't coming out of the speakers.
Any help would be hugely appreciated, I don't think I can live without my speakers
