Win 7 no sound

Topic

New Reply

I have just installed Win 7 x64 on a HP m7680n desktop. The 7680 is a basic Desktop with 4 GB Ram, 500 GB HDD, a 64mb GeForce 7300LE graphics card and Intel/Realtek 882 chip onboard sound.
Install went fine. However, after install the Win 7 desktop/screen began to black out and “restart”. After each black-out a message would pop up saying that the graphics card (GeForce 7300LE) faulted. Replaced the graphics card with a new 512mb GeForce 210. The screen blackouts have stopped BUT now Win 7 insists that the HDMI on the graphics card is a High Def Sound and I can’t get the onboard sound to work at all (it worked fine before I replaced the graphics card). Tried uninstalling the Nvidia Hi Def Sound Drivers that Win 7 insists on but Win 7 just reinstalls them. Tried deleting the Nvidia drivers and then uninstalling the drivers … no luck Win 7 just reinstalled them anyhow. I’m stuck with no sound. Heeeeeeeelllllllllllllpppppppppp

Had the same problem with my Nvidia HDMI sound. Went to Control Panel, Sounds, and found Nvidia sound checked. Just checked the onboard and everything was fine.

My ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 has the same feature, but the ATI Digital Addio HD was unchecked by default.

Paul, Ted Thanks but when I tried that ( Control Panel > Hardware and Sounds) both the playback and the recording device tabs say “No Audio Device Installed”. Same message when I right click on the speaker icon in the system tray.

I assume you went to realtek and downloaded audio drivers. If not check here: http://www.nodevice.com/driver/company/RealTek/SOUND.html It may help.

Thanks for the ideas and for trying to help me with this.
I finally discovered the solution in the BIOS. The BIOS was set for Automatic which let the #$#@% driver preempt the onboard sound. All I had to do was to change the BIOS selection from Automatic to “Enabled” AND …. Surprise, surprise, I now have sound.
