I have a Intel D865GLC Motherboard with onboard sound (SoundMAX). latest
bios.



I installed Vista Ultimate, on starting there was no sound a quick trip to
windows update and the driver was installed and I had sound. I was listening
to my mp3's using mediaplayer and i stopped a track and when I tried to play
it again there was no sound. I went in to windows sounds and still nothing
so I select restart and i can hear the windows close sound, on reboot i have
sound again then the same thing will happen again, I am sure its a driver
problem and the intel site dont have updated drivers yet.

any ideas where I can narrow the problem down..

I don't know if this relates to your hardware, but I was having a lot of
sound problems with Vista, not what your are describing, but problems.

They all went away when I "disable all enhancements" in the sound control
panel.
sound/"speakers/headphones" properties
enhancements checkbox.

Sucks to have all these problems I know, but good news is the resource pit
DRM 'features' work flawlessly.

It is a driver issue. Many sound cards are having similar issues with the
sound coming in and going out, or starting with sound then it just stops. I,
for one, am waiting for a better driver. I had to switch to an old card I
had laying around to have full time audio.

Hi Dustin,

I just had a private email from here and the member describes my problem
excatly.
he can play sounds then if the pc is left and then tries to play sounds
there is none,
he has a 5.1 card with vista drivers, so is it a driver problem?

Sounds like it. But try going to Control Panel > Sound > Speakers >
Properties > Enhancements and make sure all enhancements are disabled
(unchecked), as Vince suggested.

Ok I unchecked the two options, wasnt called enhancements though, was called
Exclusive mode on my machine.
