Another Realtech audio problem !!
Like previous unresolved posts I too am having problems with a Realtech
ALC660 audio chip on an Asus M2V mobo. Vista premium wants to install its own hd audio drivers which dont work !. When i install the vista compatible Realtech drivers they work fine until reboot and the hd audio drivers reappear. Have spent three days trying to resolve this. Would welcome any suggestions at all please. |

From experience, it appears that the Realtek HD audio drivers have to be run
twice between reboots -- first, to remove older drivers, reboot (Windows will install it's generic drivers which can be ignored), then the Realtek driver installation has to be run again to actually install the newer drivers after a second reboot. Or you can first manually remove the Realtek audio driver in Device Manager -- being SURE to check the box to delete the driver files -- then remove the Realtek HD Audio Manager in Control Panel (Classic view) Programs and Features. REBOOT -- if Windows installs generic HD audio drivers, just ignore. Then run the downloaded Realtek drivers (ver. 1.82) and REBOOT again. I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

Thanks for that. I have done as you suggested, in fact I have tried just
about every way you could think of to install the Realtech drivers and get them to stick. After one or two reboots the problem still reoccurs however and the Vista high def audio driver reappears. I have been building systems for some years and am used to installing drivers but this is a new one on me. Any further thoughts greatly appreciated.

Well, that is truly a bitch, isn't it?
The only other thing that I can think of is: after uninstalling the device and deleting the driver files in Device Manager, uninstalling the Sound Manager in Programs and Features, rebooting, and maybe, by right clicking the Realtek driver file and selecting "Run as Administrator", you might have better luck. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek HD drivers countless times (they seem to release a new version with minor improvements about every two weeks), and have had no problems at all. Good luck. I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "John Coles" wrote in message ... Thanks for that.
