Hello Everyone,

After battling for almost a week i am here hoping for a solution.
My System

Windows Vista x64 Ultimate SP1 (all latest update)
Mobo - Asus P5B-Dx
Speaker Setup :- 5.1
Front Audio Jack :- Yes
Graphics Card :- ATI HD4870

I am getting absolutely no sound from my pc, My audio device is listed as HDMI.
When i try installing the original Asus driver for Vista x64 Ultimate the setup halts saying "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware"

I have tried realtk HD drivers too but no sound....this has been going up for about a week and now i am really fed up with this expensive piece of crap...

The onboard audio has a 5.1 speaker support, i even tried head phones in indivisual audio jak including the front panel jack but no sound.

Also i can see 2 High Defination Audio Controllers" in my device manager, one is marked with yellow, that means there's some problem. I checked its properties & it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Location :- PCI bus 0, device 27, function 0

How come i have two audio controllers? where as mobo comes with single onboard audio chip?

Does anyone know what torture it is to play farcry, crysis, hl without sound?

Please advice / guide me,

Thanks & Regards,

Niranjan
