No audio output device is installed??

ok well just upgraded to a new computer that my gfs dad gave me i took the hdd from my old computer and installed it as a slave on my new one.....


vista is now saying there is no audio output device installed....when i go into device manager there is a yellow caution sign that says mutimedia audio controller and it says there is no drivers installed.

i cant seem to find the right driver because i am kind of unsure of exactly what onboard audio i have ....

i have an ECS 761GX-M754 motherboard...im pretty sure its onboard is Realtek but im sure somone could point me in the right direction ...

thanks in advance.

 

i will include an everest report ASAP.....

 

This is the audio driver from ECS for your board.
AD1888 Codec Sound on board driver

 

i just downloaded everest and it says under audio i have an SiS 7012 Audio device....does that mattter?


or should i download the one you suggested? i forgot to mention i have vista


here is my everest report

 

ECS states that the AD 1888 Codec audio driver is the one for all 3 versions of your motherboard.

If you want to wait a bit I will look in this difference a bit more. (It will be about an hour or so)
Or set a system restore point and give it a try.
I just checked a site where the sound driver support person suggested that same driver for your board. (I haven't seen her get it wrong yet.)

 

ok well i try to download it and this speed is around 10/kb a sec ......sooo slow....then it gets to about 20% done then stops and resets??

 

ok well iam downloading it now so ill let you know how it goes

 

i downloaded it....and ran the setup but it days that the operating system doesnt support it....may i ahve to downgrade to xp?

 

Did your motherboard originally have XP as an OS and then you upgraded it to Vista?
I can't find Vista drivers for either your chipset or sound chip at ECS.
I did get a SiS 7012 driver but whether it run in Vista, I don't no.

Try using the program compatibility wizard to get these drivers to run with vista. I would try the AD1888 first, then this one.
This Sis 7012 driver is a .zip file so you will have to unzip and point the wizard to setup.exe
