Windows 7 64 Bit Realtek Sound Drivers not working?

oobergeek · Nov 21, 2009

I've been running (reinstalling) Win7 64bit for about 2 weeks now (Pro version). When I first install it everything works fine including sound but when I install the 64bit Realtek sound drivers from the maker of my motherboard (XFXForce) I can't get the microphone to work?. It did work before I installed the XFXForce drivers.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

So you have onboard and a Creative card, correct?

Have you visited Realtek's site?

I thought of this but how would I know if the drivers where the correct ones for my motherboard?

Edit: went to Realtek and found updated drivers. After installation sound is fine but still no microphone... (-:

See the Realtek's settings (accessible from tray or control panel) for the microphone + make sure your mic is properly connected. You may need to report this issue to Realtek and wait for a next release of drivers.

Do you have a forward and rear microphone and which one is turned on?

The rear one is on...(plugged in). By forward do you mean front jacks?. I have them but pretty sure that they are not operational.. on the motherboard. I know that the microphone *does* work... I can test it just after doing a fresh install of Win7 x64 everything is working fine. The microphone stops working after I install updated drivers either from Realtek or XFXForce. Weird.

No..what it says is

Realtek High Definition Audio
Default Device

It is checked (green checkmark) indicating default device.

Perhaps you didn't connect your speakers properly ?
