No sound in Vista

Hey guys, I need a bit of help.

Just recently installed a clean vista from XP, reformatted and all. But I can't get the sound to work. I remember having Realtek AC'97 on it when I had Vista, but now even when I download the Vista versions nothing happens.

What I get in Device Manager is 'High Definition Audio Device' with a yellow exclamation mark. When I put in my old driver CD that came with the computer and try to put the driver in, Windows would keep telling me I already have the latest version. When I look at driver details, the drivers installed were by Microsoft and their file versions has "(vista_rtm)" on it.

My computer is a Medion Composer 4100, and here's a copy of my Everest up to Audio.

If you are sure that audio was Realtek, then you need the High Definition driver, not AC'97 go here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false

download the (Executabke file) save to desktop, double click to install

SET A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING JUST IN CASE

Hope this helps

This is a shot in the dark, HP are not listing an audio driver, are your audio plugs at the top of the tower, if so then it could be Realtek AC'97

go here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false

No sound on Vista

Hi guys,

Please help! I recently upgraded my system from Win XP to Win Vista Ultimate. Initially, I tried to solve the problem by uninstalling my version 5.10.4647.4 to 6.(something), but that still didn't work. Additionally, each time I booted, I'd get an "Intel Integrated Audio can't run on this PC" or something, even though I have an AMD Athlon.

I tried to undo the integrated audio by disabling it in BIOS, but my video wouldn't work!

Please help me guys, I'm out of ideas ENTIRELY. Here are my specs:

Dell Inc Dimension E521
2.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core (2 installed)
NVIDIA nForce 430/410 Serial ATA Controller (2x)
SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC
Radeon X1300 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) [Display adapter]
Radeon X1300 Series Sec. (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) [Display adapter]
DELL 1707FP [Monitor] (17.1"vis, s/n CC28067FAEXF, July 2006)
Board: Dell Inc 0CT103 A02
Bus Clock: 1000 megahertz

Please let me know if you need more info! Thanks!

There is a general problem at Dell with the SigmTel High definition audio for Vista, the driver does not appear to be up to the job. Have a look at this
http://www.apcstart.com/4909/sigmatels_vista_woes

Also this from the Dell forum http://www.dellcommunity.com/support...message.id=598

There is a driver at Dell for Vista, it works for some but not others
http://support.euro.dell.com/support...&fileid=195629

May be an idea to look at the board, get the model and find drivers there.

Post if you need more help
Hope this helps

At A guess?

I'm going to guess, though, that your audio drivers are either nor installed or not working. Go to Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Device Manager, and look under Sound, video and game controllers.

Audio Problems

Hi Everyone!

Like everyone else in this thread I too am experiencing some problems with sound after installing Vista Home (Basic) onto my PC. I had a similar problem when I installed XP onto this unit as the soundcard is built-into the motherboard. I have got those dreaded yellow exclamation marks next to my Multimedia Audio Controller on the 'other devices' section of Device Manager. I presume that it is a driver problem and any help you can give me to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers; Joe.

These are your drivers from HP http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... 53950&lang=en

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
