Unfortunately, whenever I play an audio file, everything on computer screen seems ok, but there is no sound on speakers.
This is my configuration...
Vista Ultimate x32
CPU --> AMD Athlon64 X2 3600+ BOX,socket AM2, Winsdor, 2000MHz, 512kb c., HTT 1000Mhz
Motherboard --> ALiveNF6G-DVI (complete info can be found here).
When I go to Device Manager -> Sounds there is only Realtek High Definition Audio. When I click on speakers icon on system tray and then on Playback Devices there is only Realtek Digital Output on the list. Yesterday there was also speakers on that list, but even then the problem was the same.
Also, the same problem occurs even when I use headphones or speakers on monitor...
Anyone can help? I'm really becoming desperate... |
There does not appear to be a chipset driver for the Vista OS at ASrock, and as the board lists more than one version of the chipset, then Everest will give the right one

you will find the chipset here at Nvidia
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
it's the Platform/nForce driver you will need
Also there is a newer driver at Realtek
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false
download the (Executable file) save to desktop, double click to install.
SET A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING JUST IN CASE
Also chek this out, it's for Win XP but also may apply to Vista
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply > click Start > Reboot.
Hope this helps
