Try this out for your sound card issue…………

In reply to Reltek Alc850 reset

Click on:
Start > settings > control panel, and then click on the “system” icon. From there select “Device Manager” and click “continue”. Find your “Reltek Alc850” under the “sound” section and right click on it and select “Delete”. You must re-start your computer for any changes. When your computer has re-booted, your computer will apply the correct driver, if not, you will have to insert your motherboard drivers disk to load on your sound drivers or any drivers that you need.
Hope all works out for you.

Reset problem

In reply to Try this out for your sound card issue…………

Windows does not see the onboard sound system, but does see a midi and game port.
When i install realtek or asus driver for it, That progam is the on thing that sees the onboard sound system. At least i hope so.
But still have nothing. Windows did install the HD sound drivers. Windows system never shows anything for realtek

If your motherboard is new…..

Is your motherboard new?.
If so, then you will need to do an update of the BIOS to iron out the problem that you are having.
Click on ASUS here:

What is the brand of your M’Board?

In reply to Reltek Alc850 reset

I can not find any reference to an AV8 on the ASUS Web Site but A Bit does have an AV8 M’Board as shown here

http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=AV8&fMTYPE=Socket+939

And the correct Audio Driver is available here

http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/download/download_driver_detail.php?pFILE_TYPE=Driver&pMAIN_TYPE=Motherboard&pTITLE_ON_SCREEN=AV8&pSOCKET_TYPE=Socket%20939

and is labeled as V6213.zip.A Bit and ASUS are different brands and you need to look at the correct makers Web Site for the correct Driver for your M’Board.

Also neither A Bit or ASUS support the Hardware Reset Function of the Realtech Chipset you have to rely in using Software.

I think he was to say ” ASUS A8V Deluxe Socket 939 VIA”

NT.

But the [i]A8V Deluxe Socket 939 VIA[/i] is a A Bit not ASUS M’Board. NT

May be they both use the same brand. :)

i have looked on the Asus website and they do have this type of model, have a look here:

Just to add the difference between the two.
Av8 model is made by Abit.
The A8v model is made by Asus.

A couple of checks

In reply to Reltek Alc850 reset

Check in your BIOS to make sure that the onboard sound is turned on.
Did you run the compatability test before installing Vista.
Press the Winkey + Pause/Break and to the left you will see Windows Update.
(The WinKey is also known as the “Windows key”, “Windows logo key” or “Start key” on your keyboard)

Click on it and let it run.
Over on the right you will see View available updates, click it and see if there are any drivers listed for the sound card.
If there is, install them.

Edit: spelling
