No sound from Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H
Tried everything including disabling/enabling the hardware, deleting
the drivers etc. etc. but still no sound. The speakers have been double checked on another system. Control Panel sound and Audio devices is reporting all hardware devices as working properly. Device Manager is not showing any problems. WMP was reporting no sound device found at all initially but after doing the above it at least acts as if there is some device present but still ..... silence. Any suggestions? TIA |

TIA I could be a driver problem (i.e. need KB888111 or KB888111xpsp2 file, as well as the driver for the specific hardware). But sometimes, it is an upset of the jack sense stuff, caused by the front panel audio wiring. You could try disconnecting the front panel audio cable harness, and then try plugging in the speakers to the green jack on the back of the computer. There are very few computer cases which have actual HDaudio front panel wiring. The vast majority are AC'97 wiring. When you look in the Gigabyte motherboard manual, there are pinouts shown. For the AC'97 pinout, you only need a total of five wires. MIC/MIC_PWR/GND for the microphone jack, and Line_Out_L/Line_out_R/GND for the headphone. The GND on pin 2, handles ground for both jacks. So really, a total of five wires is all that should be connected. No other pins should have wires connected to them. And that means, on an AC'97 wiring harness, the RET_L and RET_R are not connected to anything. Return signals are not needed, since HDaudio codecs have more than enough output ports to not need that trick. One other thing you can look at, is an option to "disable front panel jack detection", in the audio control panel(s). That is addressed in section 5.2.1 of the manual. If you happened to actually have a computer case, that has an HDaudio front panel wiring harness, then the last two paragraphs would not apply. Just the driver thing, in that case. Paul |

My case has HDaudio front panel wiring and I have tested with it connected and not connected. It initially worked with the FP wiring NOT connected and has never worked with the FP connected. The FP wiring harness has both a HD and AC'97 connectors. Honestly, I don't know much about audio (it always just worked!) and will have to read a bit more. I have reinstalled KB888111 to no avail. My next stop is the Realtek site. Thanks again. I will post any updates. |

No sound from Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H
Jim - Have you installed XP SP3? I was rebuilding my system with the
same board, and didn't install the sound drivers from the CD that came with the board before I installed SP3. Once I did that, I couldn't install the drivers. A search turned up an issue that the installation for the sound card didn't recognize the SP3 version of Windows as valid, so was aborting silently. Uninstalling SP3, installing the drivers and then reinstalling SP3 got my sound back. Good luck! - Pat On May 28, 7:13*am, Jim wrote: On May 28, 12:09 am, Paul wrote: Jim wrote: Tried everything including disabling/enabling the hardware, deleting the drivers etc. etc. but still no sound. *The speakers have been double checked on another system. *Control Panel sound and Audio devices is reporting all hardware devices as working properly.
