Hi,

I would like to suggest that asus a8v-vm se mobo it only supports winXP OS. If u are trying to install vista or win7 it is not compatiable OS.

Try this (you should have files in C:\Program Files\Realtek\InstallShield,
from the Realtek installation):

First, allow Vista to change your audio driver to the generic High
Definition driver (the one that doesn't work). On your keyboard, press the
Windows key + R. In the Run box, type

msconfig

On the Startup tab of System Configuration, if there are any files from
Realtek Semiconductor, remove the checkmark for those, such as RtHDVCpl.exe
(there may be others). (Apply, OK) and restart. (Tell System Configuration
not to show you it's message or run again when you see that prompt after
re-booting). Note: the appropriate startup item(s) will be re-entered
automatically when the new driver from Realtek is installed.

Then, in Device Manager, double-click the generic High Definition driver,
under "Sound, video and game controllers", and, on the Driver tab, choose
Update Driver. Then choose "Browse my computer for driver software." Under
"Search for driver software in this location", Browse to C:\Program
Files\Realtek\InstallShield. Click OK once you've found that folder, then
click Next...

Sorry to hear that it didn't work. The only thing I can think of is to try

This is a puzzle. I have the same built-in soundcard that you have, and
have not had this problem. Realtek has two different downloads for Vista's
driver (one, an .exe installation file, the other a .zip). Have you tried
both? Both should be "unblocked". The .zip file installation, once the
files are extracted, uses Setup.exe, I believe, to begin the installation.
Either .exe file should be Run as Administrator. Or you could try turning
UAC off, if it isn't already (and turn it back on after the installation).

Another work-around:

In Device Manager, double-click the generic High Definition driver, and, on
the Driver tab, choose Update Driver. Then choose "Browse my computer for
driver software." This time, instead of "Search for driver software in this
location", try "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Then choose Have Disk. Browse to C:\Program Files\Realtek\InstallShield...

continue when the UAC pop-up appears, because of the possible risk involved
in going forward, given the nature of the program.

I'm just wondering whether UAC may be somehow preventing the driver update
from sticking...

Some posters have had luck getting drivers to stick when they delete
infcache.1 in C:\Windows\inf\. (Some have not). To try that, run Commmand
Prompt as Administrator, and type

icacls C:\Windows\inf\INFCACHE.1 /grant administrators:F

Press Enter. Then type

rename C:\Windows\inf\INFCACHE.1 infcache.1.bak

Press Enter. Then run the installlation file from Realtek.

As to an exchange of motherboards, dunno. I've never tried it. How
convincing can you be? I wouldn't think it would be a problem...

in the same vein, a8v-vm csm is only partially compatable with vist64.

It does runs well except
- can't resume fromhiberation
- and may lack device support for sound
- had to mess with installer from other board and put up various error
mesaages during install

if you plan to usb fax modem, stick to 32 bit, you may ahve beter luck
unless you know for sure the modem officially and explicity supports vist64
