• Realtek drivers cannot find my speakers!
    2 replies, posted
Second thread in the Tech. Support forum today, anyways... I'll try to be as DESCRIPTIVE AS POSSIBLE. It simply says "No speakers or headphones are plugged in." My speakers cable is secured at the back of my PC, but it's telling me that it isn't. This started to happen AFTER I tried to update my drivers. The whole reason I'm really wanting to update my drivers anyways is because they are saying they are designed for Vista and not Win 7, and so I can enable/disable stereo mix, etc. I've googled for 3 hours straight on this problem and it seems to be a very common problem amongst people using Realtek audio. My sound isn't disabled in the BIOS, it isn't disabled in device manager, I've tried installing older and the newest drivers, none of it works. It's starting to seem that there is no solution to this. Try googling "No speakers or headphones are plugged in." and you'll see what I mean if you don't understand me. Thanks. [b]EDIT[/b]: It would probably help to say what the driver version is for the one that works, it's driver version 6.0.1.5956, I'm also on Win7 64bit. (my motherboard is also a Biostar P43D2-A7, shitty ass motherboard, I totally regret buying it)
uninstall the driver and install the old version if you can. also if you can't get it working you could get a PCI sound card for like $20.
Windows 7 is backwards compatible with Vista drivers. If there are no Win 7 drivers, then Vista drivers will work fine. Try reinstalling the original drivers, restarting the computer and unplugging and plugging the speakers back in. The driver usually detects when something is plugged in, and will give you a popup menu asking what you plugged into the computer.
