Hi,
(English is not my first language so I will try to be as clear as possible but if anyone has a problem reading me please contact me )

Last year I have replaced my motherboard with an ECS GF7050VT-M with Onboard high-quality audio CODEC and American Megatrends Inc. 080015 04/07/2008 BIOS. My operating system is Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2. I have as well installed an ATI Diamond Radeon HD 3650 Video board with external HDMI output that I have not been using.

I have an audio problem for as long as I can remember on this computer, but it is only those last days that I have been trying to fix it. The sound doesn’t work and when I open Sound and Audio Devices in Control Panel it says no Audio Devices and everything is grayed out.

I have figured out that it was a driver related problem and I have tried to download updated driver. Today I have two drivers installed on this computer:

ASUSTek SAA7134, Hybrid Capture Device, that I believe to be a non working driver assignated to PCI Slot 1 (PCI bus 1, device 4, function 0). Btw I don’t have any external audio/sound board, Im only using the one onboard.
I would like to get rid of this device but overtime I uninstall it with Device Manager It reappears after rebooting, like if Windows need it to use audio (I guess).

The second one is the one I reinstall with my motherboard’s installation kit: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. But it appears to be non-functionning as well since windows issues a error code : “This device cannot start. (Code 10)”

I have tried updating the driver with the new up-to-date version IDT High Definition Audio CODEC 0.95 downloadable at ECS website : http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Dow...nuID=6&LanID=0

It is dated of 27th of November 2008 and I believe that no other update have been issued.

I tried looking into the BIOS but audio and Windows audio are both on automatic and my onboard audio is fully enabled.

It might be a minor problem but I have pulled my hair the last three days and I was wondering if you guys could help me with it. If you need any other information on my system, please ask.

Thanks
Thomas
