I just installed ultimate 64 and I cannot get my sound to work. I have an asus m2a-vm motherboard with onboard audio. At first in the sound mixer it only showed spdif audio which i do not have. Sound came out as static, a high pitched digitized static if that makes sense. I have tried several codecs and nothing. any suggestions?

Hi Burnboy,

Try installing these drivers;
Realtek

I hope this works

If this is not the answer go to Control Panel, Hardware and sound, sound and make sure that loudspeaker is the default device you may have to disable the digital device
this is done by right click and using the context menu

that link just leads to datasheets but I have tried to codecs from realtek several times as well. If it helps the static is in sync with when sound should be coming out. it gets louder and quieter as a normal sound should

Hi Burnboy,

Follow the link on the right hand side of the window under quick links is a link to the audio driver.
This is the driver I use it works very well under x64
Did you read my second post?

See the picture, my set up is partly in german but the icons are still the same

yes i tried the second post and it didnt help. I tried that download and it says no supported drivers were found when I try to install

Ok, I do not know why that is not working for you, try here;
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-
Hopefully this will work better

when i download the zip file there are folders in it for 32 bit 64 bit and vista. the setup exe under 64 bit says it wont run with vista when i click on it but the exe in the vista folder installs fine but i still have the same problem

I have just downloaded and tried these drivers, as with you only the driver in the Vista folder has installed, but it works fine by me.

I can configure my sound system everyway possible but in the worst case I just don't get sound. I cannot replicate this screaching.

Do you uninstall the old drivers before installing the new one? if not try it.

Are you sure that your loudspeakers work and that they are connected
properly? can you try them on a different system?
