| | Microsoft HD audio & Realtek HD audio I just installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I have an Asus motherboard with Realtek audio internal sound. When I run the setup for the Realtek drivers everything installs smoothly but then it says I need to restart my computer. After I restart and boot back in to Windows, Vista recognizes the Realtek driver isn't digitally signed and automatically installs the Microsoft HD audio driver - no prompts, no questions asked. After that is "successfully installed", I have NO sound. Device manager shows "Digital Output Device (SPDIF)" as working properly, however this is only for coaxial SPDIF output, therefore I can't use my speakers or the front headphone jack. What gives? Is there a way to install a different Microsoft driver or get a copy of a digitally signed Realtek one? Thanks!! |

| | Re: Microsoft HD audio & Realtek HD audio I appreciate the help, but this is just a link to the non-digitally signed Realtek drivers I was referring to. Microsoft's generic HD audio driver is digitally signed so Vista automatically installs it upon restarting. Any other suggestions?? This is such a frustrating problem.....
