Hi folks, me again!

I've just done a self build, and I'm having a few various problems, and this is just one of them!

This is what is new...

Gigabyte S-series GA-965P
Core 2 Duo E6600
2 gig Corsair Ram
Leadteck 8800GTS 640meg
550 watt psu
320gig SATA

I'm running XP sp2

"No Audio Device".....is the problem.
I've installed all the sound drivers off the mobo disk. I went to the Gigabyte website and downloaded their latest drivers and still no show?

Over to you guys...:)

Have you installed ALL the drivers on the motherboard disk?

They are normally called 4in1 drivers or similar and consist on the core motherboard software.

They are essential for a new install of Windows.

Also have you had a look in device manager?

What is it displaying under the sound devices tab?

[MajorMellons]

Hi Dave,

I've just put my Mobo cd in my player, and the cd went straight into install mode, installing all drivers again. The system then told me to reboot, which I did.
I went to open my Mobo cd again, and now my DVD drive is no longer being recognised!!!!
The words head, wall, smash and brick all spring to mind.

[Dave Hybrid]

Is the drive connected properly and is it enabled in the BIOS?

Is the sound still not working?

[MajorMellons]

I checked the Bios, and
IDE Channel 4 Master.........My 'Pioneer dvd r...'

SO yup, it's there, but in 'My Computer' and 'Device Manager', it aint there.

And no, still 'No Audio Devices'.
But I can't check my Mobo CD for anything.

I will attempt to put an old dvd player in, just to see if that is found....

[Dave Hybrid]

That's a bit bizarre, let us know how you get on with the other drive.

[MajorMellons]

The other DVD drive, has been found and is currently working, but I have been through this 'false dawn' before.
I've tried to re-install audio drivers, but I am now getting the old 'Must install Microsoft Bus drivers before realtech audio drivers' or words to that effect.
I've googled this and I've d/l a host of different drivers and hot fixes.......but getting nowhere fast.

[MajorMellons]

Update......

I managed to install new Microsoft Bus Drivers, then Realtek Drivers and WOOOHOOO!

I HAVE SOUND!!!

I have installed my dvd burner again, and that is currently functioning without error.

What a nightmare, but I'm still having allsorts of problems.

Thanks for all the help.

[Dave Hybrid]

Bus drivers are motherboard drivers so that ties in with what I said, glad it's working anyhow. :D
