Moreover, thanks to this thread on snd_hda_intel options I tried by adding the ones that listed below to the the alsa base: $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nfīut whatever I tried I cannot made it to hear anything.īTW when I wrote alsamixer and hit Enter I got this message: $ alsamixer I have tried to select HDA Intel PCH from alsamixer and check if there are any muted selection. **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****Ĭard 0: PCH, device 0: ALC294 Analog Ĭard 0: PCH, device 3: HDMI 0 Ĭard 0: PCH, device 7: HDMI 1 Ĭard 0: PCH, device 8: HDMI 2 Ĭard 0: PCH, device 9: HDMI 3 Ĭard 0: PCH, device 10: HDMI 4 Ĭard 1: NVidia, device 3: HDMI 0 Ĭard 1: NVidia, device 7: HDMI 1 Here are some of my device information: $ cat /proc/asound/cards
I'll update this thread in a little over 2 weeks.I just bought a new laptop called Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LW with i7 and Nvidia RTX, but there is no sound at all. It's been a couple of lines already, so thanks again! I guess I'll just turn the overclock off for now, until I have a fresh installation again, without the remains of old drivers. Now hope the BSODing that it's done a couple of times already don't continue too much.
While one of my monitors somehow does have three audio inputs, Windows/Nvidia don't know how to handle that so non 5.1 audio sources are still played on all speakers - sigh - so I had to settle with using two single to 3.5mm to dual 3.5mm adapters to turn the three cables into one. Thanks a ton for your help! I fortunately found out a way to get some sound for the time being: connect my speakers to my monitor audio pass-through. If this reinstall also doesn't work, I'll try reinstalling again with the driver in the image like you just suggested. it's more than time for a little clean-up ). I'll be freshly installing Windows anyways in a little over 2 weeks (will be getting a new SSD then too) and moving to Windows 10 too (this Windows 7 installation is already more than 5 years old. Yup, reinstalling Windows is also what I figured would be the only solution. It installs, and then when it's done wipes the installation folder again.
I tried everything you suggested and more, but nothing worked, unfortunately: the driver will still not install properly. Going to try this after sleeping, time to head to bed now, but this sounds like a good idea, thanks. I had a system based on that mainboard and the same CPU you have, and I had no problems installing the driver: disable driver updates from Microsoft (see below), reboot the system:įailing that, try the above steps again, but this time using the driver for the Asus Z170-A mainboard. if there is such a driver, type pnputil -d oemxx.inf /force where xx is the number for the realtek audio driverĥ. check if there is still a realtek HD audio driver (driver package provider should be realtek, and class control for audio, video and gaming)Ĭ. type pnputil -e to list the installed driver packagesī. remove any remnants using PNPUtil from the command promptĪ. uninstall any realtek HD audio driver from control panel -> softwareģ. remove the device in device management (check "remove driver")Ģ. It's a long shot, but have you tried disconnecting from the internet (unplugging the ethernet cable), followed by these steps:ġ. Or perhaps changing the installation location, but it doesn't even give you the option for that, unfortunately. perhaps if I could somehow keep what it has, I could place it there again afterwards, but I don't know how to do that. Looking more closely at the Realtek folder in Program files (x86) (why is it in x86?) shows that the driver first installs, but when it's ready the entire folder is cleared for some reason.
I tried this (and many more other things), but it always said (rough translation) "the best drivers for this device have already been installed" and "no better or newer driver has been found for this device". And said EXE file is a self-extraction executable which can be extracted using 7-Zip, so you can still follow the instructions listed above.
The EXE file with only the 64 bit driver did work for me though.
You might not get all the additional software such as the control panel applet etc., but at least you should get sound working.Īlso, I've had problems with the 32/64 bit driver refusing to install, error'ing out on multiple systems. With a bit of luck it'll find the right driver and install it. If you've downloaded the ZIP file, extract it, open device manager, right click on the HD audio device, click "update driver.", select "search my computer for driver software", browse to the folder where you extracted the ZIP file, check "include subfolders" and click next.
