Another Realtek HD Audio Manager Thread.

Didn,t want to start new thread since there are to many Realtek problems thread already.

After Reinstalling XP SP2 on my PC i lost Realtek Audio...
tried reinstalling drivers from ASUS CD , latest updates, nothing helped
its just not recognized ..
Maybe the conflict is the ATI MSI Radeon300 that i have installed drivers for first? or....

The Realtek and ATI are built in on the motherboard ASUS P5GD1 that has
suppied CD with all the drivers....
here is the info from the motherboard:
ASUS Bios ROM info:

Model: P5GD1
Version: 1006.005
Chipset: I915
Date: 09/27/2004
Onboard Sound: Azalia (swa)
Onboard Lan: Exist(wl)

I have downloaded ASUS update V7.14.01
BUT haven,t run it yet... thought i might ask You Gurus first?

any help on getting back Realtek sound would be appreciated
thanks in advance

thanks for reply, will try to reinstall the chipset and Audio...

The only yellow in device manager is Device Manager--Other Devices---Mass Storage Controler

 

well installed Intel chipset, than microsoft UUA audio ... still Realtek doesnt work....
and i cannot even uninstall Realtek it stops in the middle of uninstall with == driver not found message
any ideas?

 

going to install XP Service Pack 3, kindah scared as i ve heard the SP3 is flakey... but as i am stuck with no sound i am just trying ALL possible tweaks...
hoping it would help to get my Realtek onboard audio working?

 

Hmmm... PC restarts while trying to downoad SP3 from Microsoft update...
maybe i should disable Avast antivirus?
still no sound coming from REALTEK
any ideas?

thanks in advance

 

OK, got Realtek to work finally
just updated to XP Professional Service Pack 3 and the sound came back!
in case it helps anyone ASUS motherboard with Realtek ALC861 card onboard.

thanks everyone
