1.	Solve : Realtek HD Audio Problem?
Answer» Hi, Thanks for reading your help with be valuable and much appreciated... I have checked other posts on this topic but couldn't resolve the problem with the answers posted. I just put this computer together 2 WEEKS ago and all is ok. Onboard sound didn't seem to work from the GET go so I installed a sounblster xfi card and that worked. But I had system freezes so I uninstalled the sound card and software/drivers and updated video card drivers and all is working ok EXCEPT I cannot for the life of me get the onboard sound working. My system Microsoft xp home edition version 2002 service pack 3 asus m4a88td-m evo/usb3 motherboard AMD phenom II x4 965 processor 3.42 GHZ 4 gig ram Where can I start... I have enabled onboard sound in the bios, TRIED the driver that came with the motherboard and tried updating to the latest driver on the motherboards manufacturers website. System devices says it is functioning properly and there is never any problem with an install. audio properties have realtek HD audio device selected... I don't have front panel working and have selected to enable back panel when front panel is plugged in. I am just running headphones straight into the back for now until I can work it out. I can hear a pitched/noise in the headphones as though something is there, but no sound works whatsoever although everything seem to read it should be. I've been trying for a week now so any advice would be great or if someone has a similar setup and can offer some advice. Thanks Quote I can hear a pitched/noise in the headphones as though something is there On your BIOS set-up, look for USB configuration and toggle controller mode from hi-speed or fullspeed. Save & exit. Check also if USB functions is enabled.Thanks Jason, I went in bios to USB config and changed USB controller from high speed to full speed. Still the same effect mate When I turn volume right up there is just a pitchy digital type noise, Would this mean the soundboard is faulty? I am also plugging into the rear panel in the analog and not using any usb controller for audio. Thanks anyway Jason, if it worked I was going to kiss you!

Did you get the XP driver for your computer? Did you install the chipset driver? Are there any errors in device manager? Do you have the volume turned up? If it were me, I'd boot to a Linux live CD and check if the sound is working. If it doesn't from work with the live CD, then it is most likely a hardware issue.

Hi,

But I had system freezes so I uninstalled the sound card and software/drivers and updated video card drivers and all is working ok EXCEPT I cannot for the life of me get the onboard sound working.

My system

Microsoft xp home edition version 2002
service pack 3

asus m4a88td-m evo/usb3 motherboard
AMD phenom II x4 965 processor
3.42 GHZ 4 gig ram

Where can I start...
I have enabled onboard sound in the bios, TRIED the driver that came with the motherboard and tried updating to the latest driver on the motherboards manufacturers website.
System devices says it is functioning properly and there is never any problem with an install. audio properties have realtek HD audio device selected... I don't have front panel working and have selected to enable back panel when front panel is plugged in. I am just running headphones straight into the back for now until I can work it out.
I can hear a pitched/noise in the headphones as though something is there, but no sound works whatsoever although everything seem to read it should be.
I've been trying for a week now so any advice would be great or if someone has a similar setup and can offer some advice.

Thanks
