Hey all,

I have just completed my very first systems build and its great...its just that there is no sound.

This is what i am working with:

CPU INTEL|C2Q Q6600 2.40G 775 8M R 1
N82E16813135093 MB ECS P45T-A 775 P45 IHC10R RT 1
N82E16822148134 HD 750G|ST 7K 16M SATA2 ST3750640AS 1
N82E16820231122 MEM 2Gx2|GSK F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ R 1
N82E16827151173 DVD BURN SAMSUNG|SH-S223Q LS % 1
N82E16814130380 VGA EVGA 512-P3-N975-AR 9800GT 512M 1
N82E16835234001 CASE FAN XCLIO|AMAZING FAN - 12CM R 1
CASE XION|XON-101 BLK 450W RT
PSU XCLIO|GREATPOWER 700W RT

i did not get an individual sound card instead i am relying the 8 channel realtek audio device sound that comes with the motherboard software...please provide any insight that you can!

thanks!!

Windows Vista should be able to find the Realtek driver automatically, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Did you plug 2.0 speakers into the wrong outlet? If your audio is set to 2.0, the rest of the outlet won't give any signal, naturally.

Narrow it down: Does the system think the sound devices are installed properly? Check device manager or whatever the Vista equivalent is.

1) BIOS inspection
2) OS driver recognition
3) Updated drivers (from website) / updated playback software
4) Check physical connections
5) Check software mixer settings

Swap your speakers with a some known working speakers. Or place your speakers on another known working computer to ensure that they work.
