Fresh install - no sound? (Win 7, 1155)

Eggbert69 · 7th July 2012, 3:57 AM

Hey all,

I got a new system and set it up - everything seems okay. One (large) issue is there is no sound. I've got an AsRock Z77 Extreme4 and a Auzentech X-Fi Prelude and neither is working.

I've installed the Realtek drivers for my motherboard and when I try to install any type of driver for the sound card it says the hardware is not present?

Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe onboard sound disabled in bios

Have you checked what your default audio playback device is? Control Panel, Sounds, Playback. Choose the default device there.

Did you install all the intel chipset and the engine management drivers?
