I can't get any audio on this board I've tried installing drivers in both Vista and XP and it never find any audio device. I checked through the BIOS and couldn't find any settings. Is there a jumped I need to set?

Edit: I found the setting in the BIOS under SB, and HDA is set to "enabled" yet still no audio device is found in Windows after installing the drivers

make sure you are using the correct rear panel sound output port for your speakers...i presume you are using dual speaker system so you want to use the light green port...refer to page 5 of your manual, section "1.4."

if that does not work, do the clear CMOS.

No, i need compatibilitie, i have 2 kits crucial ballistix non tracer 4GB (2x1GB x2) that can do 700Mhz in Asus P5k Deluxe but can't even boot at specs with biostar, just it.

Falaí meu....rsrsrs
Only the old tracer was good (two lines of leds)...
The new (one line) disappoint me...
The yellow Ballistix rock solid...enjoy it

I picked up a new cpu on Black Friday. It looks like it can do around 500x9 with +0.150v vcore. Today I was doing some initial exploration with +0.250v vcore. I usually start testing chips on the TPower which makes for a more apples to apples comparison since it was my first P45/Wolfdale combo. (I'm using the Xigmatek with OCZ PC2-8500)

I canceled my sale for my ballistix couse i'm hopping a bios update from biostar, and i'm sure i'd be very angry without it with an update that let me use them

I cleared the CMOS and pulled the battery, still no change

Only devices I don't have installed is my ethernet and the HDMI audio on my HD 4850.

Ghost: do you have a front-panel header connected? If so, does it work properly?

the device is showing up, you are just not installing the driver correctly or using the incorrect driver.

Front-panel is installed, still no sound from it. Same results with using the green output on the back.

I installed the ATI HDMI drivers from Realtek and now it looks like this. Still no sound coming from the motherboards sound device.

Yep, no dice. It's the exact same version as on their website. Biostar has R2.09, while Realtek has R2.10. Neither version works

I had the same problem and ending up using my gigabyte board disc
from my ep35c-ds3r Rev 2.1 sense they both got Realtek audio onboard and
it worked believe it or notI was'nt getting no sound either

Tried installing the latest driver for that motherboard from their site, still didn't make a difference I'm about ready to RMA this board

don't give up yet hopefully it will turn out your sound and audio devices prop
should look like this


i know when i plug in something in the front panel or in the rear
this pops up

and have the volume control on my task bar along with Realtek HD Audio
Manager...
Your really having a major driver issue

[ghost_recon88]

That program you have doesn't pop up when I plug my headphones or desktop speakers in. Although I know the one you're talking about because my Asus P5Q Pro had it.

looks like some bad drives cause your (sound recording)is not even install
like mine and it not even lit up at all...

i was reading on the drive you have on this site here
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SOU...iver-159.shtml
you need to try install the same drives that..I have and the realtek Hd Audio
Manager

[ghost_recon88]

Did a clean install of Windows, then installed all the drivers off the CD. Still no dice. I would think if the sound device was fried, it would at least allow drivers to install, but then just not function. Instead, its not being visible at all in Windows...

[Lvcoyote]

By the picture you posted of device manager, windows is seeing it......

That's the one on my video card, not the one on the motherboard. All HD 48xxx cards have HDMI audio output.

[Lvcoyote]

Well about all you can do at this point is have a look at the screen during boot where it lists all the devices attached, see if the onboard audio is listed. Use the pause key if its flashing by too fast. If its not listed then I'd say the board is bad. I'm sure you have it enabled in BIOS......

anyway of removing the 4870 and insert some other type video card just to see if the 4870 is cutting out the board sound card because of IRQ conflicts?
