Vista Ultimate x64 (SP1) - No Audio Device Installed
Hello everyone,
I am having a problem getting any sound card to work in Vista SP1 (64 bit edition). I have three (3) audio devices to test on: Asus Sonar D2X - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio RealTek High Definition Audio (onbaord) All three manufacturers claim the support Vista 64 bit. I have installed all of the latest drivers via the manufacturers website. Even tried some beta drivers. (Yes, I've disbaled the on board audio via the BIOS). With each attempt Windows Device Manager correctly identifies each audio device and lists the proper driver version. However, the sound icon is "x'd" out and when I open the volume mixer I get "No Audi Device is Installed". I have tried restarting a million times and also tried putting the PC to sleep several times, nothing works. My hardware is as follows: HP Pavilion (Purchased 4 weeks ago) Intel Quad Core Extreme Processors with 12mb Cache 6GB RAM SATA Drives with a split backplane 2 RAID 1 Arrays 756 MB NVIDIA Video Card Does anyone have any ideas? I also have probelms with basic services not starting. I am ready to re-image a copy of XP x64 and say goodbye to VISTA for good. Please help. |

What is HP support saying about it? It may be a hardware defect needing
replacement. "Jason Lo Presto" wrote in message ... Hello everyone, I am having a problem getting any sound card to work in Vista SP1 (64 bit edition).

Vista Ultimate x64 (SP1) - No Audio Device Installed
Hi Colin,
HP Support is giving me the drivers that came with the system. They really cannot help me since I setup a RAID array and installed my own copy of Vista Ultimate.
