    It's really frustrating. I have installed on some PC Vista, and there's laways troubles to get the sound working with onboard RealTek device.

     

     

    On the latest PC (Vista Ultimate 64Bit, Mainboard Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3, ALC889) the Relatek driver was successfully installed, but there was no sound output, Media Player couldn't play (no device found).

    All the devices are installed correctly, no missing driver.

     

    I updated the BIOS, used the latest driver, but when I use the latest driver of Realtek (Vista 1.84), the sound mixer loose the device (the speaker symbol has a red cross).

     

    Thanks for any help.

    Open Sounds in the Control Panel and change the default to "Speakers" rather than "Digital Audio Interface".

    Thanks, but this is not the case.

    All the output are set correctly. It's something more serious.

    Hi Eric,

     

    Thank you for the post.

     

    The issue can occur if the sound card driver is incompatible with Windows Vista.

     

    I suggest installing the latest driver from the following link:

    ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/6251_Vista_APO.zip

    If the issue persists, please let me know the brand and model of your computer and send me the System Information for further research:

    Hi Eric,

     

    Thank you for the reply and sending me the file.

     

    From the System Information, it seems that it is not an English version of Windows.

     

    As your sound card is Realtek High Definition Audio one, I suggest trying the following driver:

     

    ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/Vista_R185.exe

    Hi Tim,

     

    Yes, it's a spanish version of Vista.

     

    I haven't installed the driver because the location doesn't seems very trustful to me.

    Somewhere in Hongkong, but who is it?

     

    The version of the files are also older than those from RealTek.

    So I haven't tried this driver.

     

    For me the problem is, that I have installed the Spanish version in Switzerland, where they are german speaking.

    So the local support has the same problem like you.

     

    But anyway, thanks for your help.

    I will try an external sound card.

     

    Eric
