    No Sound

    So, I just finished installing and updating Vista Ultimate 64, and have updated all my device drivers, more or less... I'll get into that in a minute.

    The problem is, my device manager says my sound drivers are installed and working, however, I get no sound. Yes, my volumes are all maxed, unmuted, and my speakers are proper plugged in. The problem is that its using a default Microsoft driver, when I'd rather use the drivers for my sound card (integrated into my P5E3 Deluxe Wifi). Everytime I go to install these drivers it says my hardware is incompatible - and I'm using the drivers that came with the motherboard's CD. I have also tried to use the ones off of asus.com with the same results.

    Both driver installs indicate that I should try and uninstall the current drivers and restart. So I do that, and Vista automatically reinstalls the default Microsoft driver - and I can't seem to cancel it or stop it from doing that. Please help - I'm going crazy trying to get this to work!



    Thanks,

    Hi, teknoheadake, and welcome to the forums.

    Try going into Safe Mode to remove the current driver and installing the SoundMAX driver from ASUS website - I wouldn't even bother with the one on the CD.
