lordmaji · « **on:** February 23, 2009, 07:00:11 PM »

Has anyone had to deal w/ Vista not producing sound? I have Realtek High Definition Audio on-board. Just installed Vista (I have no idea why, other then I couldn't find my XP disc) according to RealTek's site it's compatable w/ Vista. But apparently I still get no fucking sound. I upped to SP1, still nothing. Reinstalled Drivers several times now. Even called Microshit and they want to know my Mothers Maiden name, my childhood friends, my finger prints, and the size of my cock. so fuck them, hell no.

Anyways, according to Vista my mixer shows audio being played the little thingie bobs up and down when I play something, but yet nothing comes out of my speakers... Yes the shit is plugged in correctly. It all worked just fine before (XP) but apparently not on Vista. What a joke.

Anyone have this issue and had it resolved? Sorry if I sound a bit pissed off... I am though, I've been dicking w/ this pos for 3 and half days now. ugh. I've looked all over the place to find the correct answer, but apparently everyone fixes their issue some way that isn't helping me none.

Any help would be welcomed. I also hate other forums, so I figured my EB brothers/sisters can help me, instead of random dick snot from Ilovevistaitrocksmyballsallnightlong.ms.

thanks in advance.

did you download new drivers from the manufacturer's site, or just reinstall the ones you had?

T234 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 23, 2009, 07:39:34 PM »

I had somebody have this exact thing. I will take a screenshot of what I did when I get to the house.

Yeah, I downloaded the new drivers from the manufacturers site.

Yeahhh... Ugh.

Switch your OS language to Swedish... that should fix everything.

ACtually if you go into the mixer is something turned all the way down? An individual program.

lordmaji · « **Reply #5 on:** February 23, 2009, 09:01:29 PM »

I'd probably be easier if I took a few screen caps. Ok...

Looks like I have sound... yet, no sound.

Ganhyun · « **Reply #6 on:** February 23, 2009, 09:31:02 PM »

Have you tried a complete uninstall from device manager for the audio and then reboot and let Vista re-install?

That may do the trick.

Hmm...

so it installs properly.

shows up as working properly.

still no sound.

Question: does your pc/laptop have a auto mute button on the keyboard? Its possible that is messed up and muting you when it is not supposed to. But if T234 has seen this before and has a solution, maybe he will post it soon.

T234 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 23, 2009, 09:58:56 PM »

On your fourth screencap, move the volume pane down a bit, and take another screencap.

Take a cap of the "stereo mix tab in the fourth screenshot too.

There is an option somewhere about auto equalizer or some such that is a check box.

Edit: not a driver issue in my experience.

BM... it does suck.

Vista runs nice and smooth on my system, but this audio issue will be the nail in the coffin for my vista experience.

oops

If I could physically touch your computer I could probably figure out the problem. If not I'd just fuck the shit out of it.

gimme screens for sound effects, room correction and default format. With NOTHING IN THE WAY PLEASE

There is is option on the Realtek HD audio manager that is fucked, and basically I'm trying to find it through a proxy.

Turn loudness equalization on as pictured in your first new screenshot.

lordmaji · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2009, 10:35:15 PM »

I took a few w/ a few different configs. I did what you asked, but added a few more, hopefully it isn't confusing.

This is what you asked for correct?

Then I enabled the Digital Output.

Showing you the options from the Digital Output.

ugh indeed.

MCD · « **Reply #20 on:** February 23, 2009, 10:43:39 PM »

did you try to mess with the bios audio settings?

i had to enable hdmi audio there to get sound from my hdmi (asus bios), i know this isn't really relevant but worth a try.

T234 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 23, 2009, 10:49:42 PM »

Check your speaker properties. Short of that, the only thing I can think is remote desktop.

MCD · « **Reply #23 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:01:26 PM »

also, you could try plugging that speakers wire everywhere, just stick it in man.

btw, is your speaker volume set to max/on? not the pc volume, the speakers have knob/dongle for turning volume up and down.

T234 check your pm's pls.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #27 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:31:10 PM »

Try a set of headphones in the green jack your speakers are plugged in to. That will at least eliminate the speakers as the culprit.

Uncheck everything that says 'mute' next to it.

good call, I'll bring my headphones home from work tomorrow and scope it out.

Ganhyun · « **Reply #29 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:04:49 AM »

If you don't have Remote Desktop available (not everyone does), I recommend setting up WinVNC, or TightVNC for T234 to use to access ur box.

Maybe I could record myself saying sexy things and then you could play it and your comp will cum.

Can you mute your sound through the keyboard? My computer has that and sometimes it gets bumped and mutes the sound.

Yeah, but I know that isn't the issue. I dicked with that already.

Plus anything like that touched on the comp automatically shows in windows.

I scope out my bios settings and see if anything has changed in there. I reformatted this comp from XP. I couldn't find my XP disc, all i could find is my vista disc. So... I installed Vista. It's pretty, but damn. This audio issue is pissing me off. I'm not sure how just installing Vista would change my Bios settings, but w/e it never hurts to try I guess.

Thing is... everything worked great in XP, just landed an annoying virus (never let your kids use your comp) and said ah fuck it. reformat.

The speaker wire behind the desk got pinched and basically cut... don't ask me how the hell that happened. Lucky I had another set of speakers in the shed. I just figured Vista was a pos considering all the audio issues people have had.
