Hey TH, you have always been good to me, maybe you can provide yet another solution. :/
I recently (last night) built a new PC and installed Windows 7. It went smoothly. Then I installed all the drivers from the disc that came with my mobo (Gigabyte GA-Z77X UD3H) as well as Norton antivirus. Everything was fine (and curse me for not making a Restore point) and audio was working properly with my VIA VT2021 on-board audio. The only problem was that I had to disable front panel audio detection.
Once I got an internet connection, I performed a massive Windows Update (132 updates) and updated all my drivers from the Gigabyte Website. At this point, all my audio stopped working, except for the digital output thing. So I tried to install new drivers from their website. That didn't work. I honestly tried uninstalling, reinstalling, checking things through device manager manually, etc. I even tried generic Realtek audio drivers to no avail.
I need any advice I can get on how to fix this. At this point I think I am going to back up my system and reinstall windows 7 entirely and not update the driver.
Thanks for any help
