I think the problem is with the motherboard..but I can't be sure
Speakers work fine with any and every other device they are plugged into.
Without realtek installed I have no speaker recognition (but they are plugged into the back panel analog side speaker port [i've also tried them in the other ports, no luck] ) with realtek AC 97 i get speaker recognition, but still no sound. the audio device shows it is working under both drivers, and the levels in the control bar volume controller work but no sound. What gives!!
I decided it must be vista and installed windows 7, no dice. no sound. I looked on the asus website
http://www.asus.com/Product.aspx?P_ID=fFZ8oUIGmLpwNMjj
after installing 7 and they list this driver
Realtek ALC883 Audio Driver V6.0.1.5390 for Windows 32/64bit Vista.
So I'm in the process of reinstalling VISTA, but i have no official disc, just a recovery disc I made myself so we will see if it works...I might make the damn thing explode.
