Hey guys! I've been looking all over the place for an answer and no one seems to have the correct solution....
I updated my OS from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit and now the audio won't work.

I tried installing new drivers that are 64-bit, used the motherboard disc for the driver, and it still won't work!

If anyone can help me, i'd be grateful! Thanks

updated, you mean a clean fresh install?

what's the rest of the hardware in the case?

did you look in the device manager to see if anything needed updating?

did you open the control panel/sound and make sure a device is selected?

when you installed the nvidia drivers, it didn't also install it's HD HDMI sound driver and it's causing conflicts with the onboard sound?

yes, sometimes those "extra" drivers do conflict.

if you're not too far into the reformat try doing it again. then use the mobo disc and reinstall the sound driver/LAN driver. then go to windows update.

what are you using for audio? do you have access to a sound card? it worked before upgrading? it is enabled in the BIOS? no other sound drivers installed? did you try pulling the front audio wires from the motherboard?

does your monitor have speakers and do you have, and does it have an HDMI connection/cable?
