Vista - Realtek HD Audio

Hi All
I hope someone can help me.
I have a GA-73PVM-S2H motherboard with onboard Realtek HD Audio. I have a 2.1 speaker set up which has two small front speakers and one subwoofer. Until last night I had a Guitarport which is a kinda external sound card which i use for playing the guitar (its pretty cool). Anyway, i took this out and plugged the speaker lead back into my PC but since then i cannot get any sound out of the speakers. When i look at the Realtek Panel and get it to look like my set up, when i do the test thing on the speakers NO sound comes out at all. However, when i set it up to have REAR speakers i can hear the test sound but it comes out of the front speakers and when i play an MP3 i can hear the music REALLY QUIET as if it is the sound that would normally be coming out of the rear speakers which i do not have.
It sounded to me like i had connected the speakers up incorrectly but there is only one lead and it is definately in the right 'hole' and i tried it in all the other 'holes' too but still not working.
Any ideas?
Help - i really need this to work

did you try uninstalling the Realtek HD Audio and then reinstalling it ? just a guess but maybe the drivers got messed up from your external sound card .

I'll give that a try tonight when i get home. Where is the best place to download the latest driver/app from?

Realtek

I can see the driver which i think is called Vista_R208.zip but i cannot seem to track down the application.

the sites are on the right side ..

Yeah thats the one i am downloading right now, is the app bundled in with it? I guess that it probably is. I started with the .zip but now i am getting the .exe as i couldnt work out which one to click on

get the zip file, open it and click on setup and your all set...
