sound problems

[Mandible]

I have built my PC recently, and i cannot get it to recognise sound devices! not thru the front panel OR the rear ports. If i put anything in, it simply tells me there is not any sound device. I have plugged in the front panel hd audio header to the mobo, and turned on hd audio in the bios. Help me!!!

[FarFarAway]

They're most likely Realtek HD Audio so just DL em from Realtek's website

I must question why you're running a rig of that spec and don't have a dedicated sound card though?

Meh, with the newer onboard it doesn't matter that much. If/when a card gets released that has full sound features for Vista I may buy one but until then I don't see the point. Dunno what his reason is but that's mine

Hes prob got no money left...

What do you mean 'full sound features for Vista'?

DTS, THX and Dolby Digital Pro Studio

Well X-Fi offers the first two at least I know. If I had to upgrade it'd be nice to have the auzentech for Dolby out though.
