Windows 7 just recently went into RC1 status. It is unlikely that Abit, as well as other PC hardware manufacturer's, will have drivers available this soon after the RC1 launch. You may be able to get away with using the Vista versions of the drivers but this seems to be hit-or-miss.

The above link is to Realtek's direct download site for their HD Drivers. As you can see from the list, there are no Win7 drivers available.

I cant hear any sound on my packard bell easynote laptop

Hi,

You just need to download the appropriate audio driver for your laptop. Go to the Device Manager and install all missing drivers for "Unknown Devices". Either connect to the internet or use the driver disc which came with the laptop of the computer.

For those who doesn't know how to access Device Manager, please follow the steps below.

For Windows XP:
Start -> Run -> Type devmgmt.msc (in the box) -> Right click Unknown device -> Properties -> Driver tab -> Update driver

For Windows Vista and Windows 7
Start -> Type devmgmt.msc (in the start search box) -> Right click Unknown device -> Properties -> Driver tab -> Update driver

Hope this helps.

I install Activated Windows 7 and I know that it ha no sound so I want to install the audio and sound of the computer, if you can help me please solve my problem. thanks

Hi,
Installing Audio driver in windows 7 should not be a problem. If windows is not able to install the drivers automatically, you can update the drivers using the internet. Here's how you do it.
Surely, windows 7 has detected your device and it should appear in device manager.
Go to Device Manager Check for the Audio Device (you will see this with an error) Right click on it and click on Update Driver then choose update driver automatically.
You should be connected to the internet when doing this as win7 will look for a compatible driver for your device. If this fails, you have to go to your PC or device manufacturer's website to look for a compatible driver.

I just converted to windows 7 from xp and now i cant find my external x-320 logitech speakers

Ok, windows 7 may not have the driver you need .
Try this. 1. Go online and try searching for Windows 7 drivers for Logitech X-320 Computer Speakers.
or goto Control panel in windows. Click on Hardware and sound. Then you will see a list of items. click on manage Audio devices , this should tell you whether you need new drivers and if your speakers have been recognized..
Hope this helps.

How can i fix my audio suon

Method 1: Restart the computer Restart the computer at least one time after you install a Windows Vista service pack to verify that all processes related to the installation are complete.

After you restart the computer, determine whether you can hear sound. If you can hear sound, the issue is resolved. If you cannot hear sound, try Method 2. uparrow.gifBack to the top Method 2: Try another sound deviceIf it is possible, try plugging a different sound device into the computer. For example, if you were using speakers, try a different pair of speakers or a set of headphones to make sure that the problem is not related to the sound device.

Determine whether you can hear sound. If you can hear sound, there is a problem with the original sound device and the issue is resolved. If you cannot hear sound, plug the original sound device back into the computer, and then go to Method 3. uparrow.gifBack to the top Method 3: Unplug the computer speakersUnplug the computer speakers or other sound devices that you may be using, such as headphones, from the computer and then plug them back in to the same port. Most sound cards that are compatible with Windows Vista include a feature that detects sound devices plugged into the audio jack. This procedure may prompt the audio detection feature to detect and configure the sound device to make sound.

Determine whether you can now hear sound. If you can hear sound, the issue is resolved. If you cannot hear sound, try Method 4. uparrow.gifBack to the top Method 4: Verify that the default sound device is set correctlyAfter you install a Windows Vista service pack, you may find that the default sound device, also known as the playback device, was changed. You may also find that the sound quality has changed. Make sure that the default sound device is set correctly for the sound device that you are using. To set the default device, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start vistastartbutton.jpg, type Sound in the Start Search box.
  2. Click Sound in the search results at the top of the Start menu.
  3. Click the Playback tab. Notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is Speakers. Make sure that your audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:
    1. On the Playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and make sure that the Default Format is set to the value that you expect. When you finish, close this window to return to the previous window.
    2. On the Playback tab, select the playback device, click Configure, and then make sure the configurations are set correctly.
    If the sound settings are set correctly, you are using speakers as the sound device, and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.
  4. Select the sound device that you want as the default sound device, and then click Set Default.
  5. Click OK to save your settings and to close the Sound dialog box.
Determine whether you can now hear sound. If you can hear sound, the issue is resolved.

  5. Click the Driver tab, and then click Uninstall.
  6. Make sure that the Delete the Driver Software for this device check box is cleared, and then click OK.
  7. In the Device Manager dialog box, click the Action menu, and then click Scan for hardware changes.

    You receive a message that states that a hardware device is being installed, and then the uninstalled audio device appears in Device Manager.
  8. Close the Device Manager dialog box.
Determine whether you can now hear sound. If you can hear sound, the issue is resolved. If the current sound driver did not reload or if it did reload, but you cannot hear sound, try method 7. uparrow.gifBack to the top Method 7: Update the current sound driver If the current sound driver does not seem to be working, see whether there is an updated sound driver that you can install. To request an updated sound driver, contact the manufacturer of the sound driver.

For information about how to contact hardware and software vendors, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors/en-usNote In some cases, the manufacturer may instruct you to uninstall the current sound driver and to delete the driver files. To do this, follow the steps in method 5, but at step 6, click to select the Delete the Driver Software for this device check box.

No sound device found

From the manufacturer's web-site:
http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=IS7&fMTYPE=Socket+478

download the device-driver(s) that you need.

Note that this a "legacy" motherboard -- ABIT may possibly not be creating device-drivers for such a "previous-generation" motherboard that work with Windows 7.

Good luck!

Cant play sound it keeps asking for multimedia audio controller when i install audio driver it states RPC Server not found

It sounds like you have the wrong driver installed or there are more drivers that you need to install and update.

One way to ensure that you install the correct drivers is to go through the Device Manager and update your driver.

This is for a Windows XP system

To Update your drivers through Device Manager, pls do the following:

1. Attach your computer to the internet, make sure you can get on the internet by launching your browser, ie. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari
2. Navigate to Start/Control Panel, System
3. Choose the Hardware Tab and click Device Manager
4. See if there are yellow exclamation marks or question marks listed
5. Select them and right click on each one (you have to do this one by one until you see no more yellow exclamation marks or question marks)
6. Choose Update Driver
7. Follow the prompts to complete (usually by clicking ok to all the prompts)

This is for a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system
1. Connect your computer to the internet and ensure that you have internet connection by launching your browser and surfing to your favorite website.
2. Navigate Start/Control Panel/System
3. On the top left hand corner, click Device Manager
4. Do the same from 5-7 under the Windows XP directions up above.

Again, remember that sometimes drivers are related to something else on the system. Therefore you may need to update one or more drivers. This is the only way to ensure that you get everything.

Let me know how it works out and please don't forget to rate me.
