I have Vista 64bit and sound from the onboard audio, Chip C Media CM6501, is not working. If I plug in USB headphones, sound is fine, but if I plug speakers into the speaker jack on the back, or front, or back with the front disconnected, and I turn volume full blast I can barely hear it. As in I have to put ear on the speaker.



I've tried many many drivers, just wondering if anyone knew of a fix.

MB is ASUS M2N-E SLI

They are powered speakers, I've tried 2 different sets of speakers, and the speakers work on my other computer.

I've looked there, had everything up, if there was a volume slider on my machine it was on full.

From what I've read on C Media forums and elsewhere others say that because its a USB audio chip (I dont understand hardware fully so USB Audio that is fully integrated into the MB, watevs), if you have usb peripherals (sp?) then it won't work. I don't have a non usb keyboard/mouse so I can't check that.

I mainly use headphones anyways, but it would be nice if I wanted to show someone else a video or if I wanted to game while watching TV and be able to listen to both.
