I have tried uninstalling the driver, repairing and updating it, but nothing works. I downloaded the realtek Ac97 audio and that did not work either. Finally when windows locates a new driver and I press for it to update it, it takes forever and then says it cannot find it.

Please can somebody help me?

you will need the location of the realtek audio drivers which you downloaded, did you get the Vista version from here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false
download the driver, unzip to desktop, then install as below

Now go to Vista Device manager, right click on the sound card and "Update Drivers". In the drivers update wizard select "Search My computer for drivers" then Browse to the directory containing the extracted drivers Be sure to check the "SEARCH SUBDIRECTORIES checkbox! Vista should then search these drivers and load the appropriate Vista drivers.
