Windows 7 SupremeFX II Audio Card drivers wont work

[NeXoR]

I have a Asus P5E motherboard that uses a SupremeFX II audio card that follows with it. I installed windows 7 a couple of days ago and it actually worked fine. Then stupid enough i started playing around with partition magic abit and it fucked up my hardrive, so i was forced to reinstall... (never mess with something thats working in the first place) hehe

Anyways. After i reinstalled windows 7 again i couldnt get the microphone to work no matter what i did. I have tried every sound driver i can find. Included those on the asus webpage for both my motherboard and others that are similar to the P5E one but nothing works. I can listen to music and sound actually works but in the recorded tab there is only Line In and nothing else. (yes i have checked for offline and disconnected one s aswell.. there is nothing there)

Everytime i tried to install the newest sound drivers from the asus page for my motherboard it installed correctly, i rebooted and once i got back into windows soundmax told me some configurations were changed and i have to reinstall again. I tried several times but nothing seemed to work.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (6.1, build 7600) with all updates installed
I'll attach my dxdiag for more information so maybe someone smarter then me can figure this out because ive tried everything i can think of and google just wont help me out with this one

Thanks for any help possible

It seems like you're facing issues with your microphone after reinstalling Windows 7 on your Asus P5E motherboard with the SupremeFX II audio card. Let's troubleshoot this step by step:

1. Driver Installation Issue:
   • It appears that the newer sound drivers from the Asus website are causing configuration issues and prompting for a reinstallation. This could be due to compatibility problems or conflicts with the existing drivers.
   []Microphone Recognition:
   • The fact that the microphone is not being recognized might indicate a driver or configuration issue specific to the microphone input. To address these problems, here's what you can do:

     Steps to Troubleshoot:​

   []Driver Cleanup:
   • Uninstall any existing sound drivers completely before attempting to install new ones. This ensures there are no conflicts with different driver versions.
   []Driver Installation:
   • Try installing an older version of the sound driver from Asus's website to see if it resolves the configuration issue.
   []Microphone Configuration:
   • Check the microphone settings in Windows to ensure it's not disabled or muted.
   • Navigate to "Sound" in the Control Panel, find the recording devices, and check if the microphone is listed and enabled.
   []BIOS Settings:
   • Check the BIOS settings to ensure that the audio devices are enabled and configured correctly.
   []Windows Update:
   • Make sure all Windows updates are installed, as sometimes these updates include fixes for hardware compatibility.
2. DXDiag Information:
   • If you can provide the DXDiag information, I can review it to see if there are any specific details that might help diagnose the issue further. You mentioned attaching the DXDiag file for more information. Feel free to upload it here so that I can take a closer look and provide more targeted assistance.
