motherboard not recognizing realtek audio.

maxdesolate · Jul 31, 2014

hi again guys. yesterday i upgraded my system to amd fx 6300 and this motherboard - http://www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-ga-78lmt-usb3-motherboard/p/itmdeg8jwxzjap4f?pid=MBDDEG8JWXZJAP4F&srno=b_3&ref=ec6cef54-eb2e-4074-9ed2-7ed7d8e5858e. everything seems fine but my windows 64bit is not recognizing realtek audio drivers. i downloaded and installed the right drivers for the rev. 5.0 (my mobo version) after tweaking around with unsigned drivers. even though i was able to install them, the drivers dont show up in device manager and sound settings. it does show in control panel though. i dont like the onboard via audio drivers that come with this mobo. ay idea what is wrong here?

That board (ver 5) has a VIA audio chip: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4602#sp
You can't expect Realtek drivers to work on it.

not to poke fun at this issue ,but when I seen this thread on the main page the first thing I thought was gigabyte

i see. i was expecting because on the flipkart page it shows realtek audio codec. thats why i was wondering.

maxdesolate :

The previous versions of that board went with Realtek. But for some reason Gigabyte switched to VIA for that version. They're both good audio chips. Realtek just has a bigger marketing budget, apparently.

I like the via audio I got a asrock board with it and don't see where it falls short years ago they made a lot of mother board chipsets and then just went away but I see more and more of there audio being put on boards .. hope you enjoy it
