Vista help!!!!!!

[ranick]

Hi everyone, i hopeyou can help. I am not a computer wiz at all so i am sorry in advance for any confustion or if this sounds stupid however if you could help that would be great.

I have upgraded to vista ultimate from xp home, everything is fine but i have no sound, i have tried to update my drivers for my sound device but the device manager says that it is already updated. There is a yellow ! mark next to the device listed and in the bottem right hand corner there is a speaker with a red X next to it. i am unsure of what sound card i have in my system but i have the specs below.

If anyone could help with this i would be most thankful.

Regards, Nick

sorry i found this under high def audio device (PNP Device ID HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_434D&DEV_4980&SUBSYS_70461462& REV_0904\4&178D1992&0&0101) not sure if this will help?

????? sorry, not sure what to do. this site is in a different language and i cant understand it. Any advice would be great.

All I see for audio is "high definition audio device."

Download and run Unknown Device Identifier to see if it can tell you the make and mode of the sound card you have.

[ranick]

Hi thanks for replying to me on this matter, i have download that file twice however i cant seem to get it to work. i then downloaded Mydrivers and that told me the that same as above. if you have a verson of that driver identifier could you please send it to me @ nickjohnregan@hotmail.co.uk

looking forward to your reply

[ranick]

ok, sorry for being really thick. I have found out what the sound card is i think, Intel 82801FB ICH6 if that means anything to anyone would be so greatful.

right, i'm sorry for reopening a dead thread, and i've just registered to say this.
i've found a solution that works for me
i'm running vista homebasic on a ms-7046 exactly the same as yours. i've been trying to find a solution for this audio problem for hours, and i've found one that works for me.
first off
download these drivers from MSI:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=dr...e&dno=2418&i=0
then extract and run the setup for windows xp service pack 2 (right click setup.exe, click properties, then under compatibilty, choose run for 'windows xp service pack 2'). then click apply and run the setup as admin.
reboot and you should have working audio
