| 821793 | 2009-10-19 09:15:00 | I had already tried to install that download but I get an error message: The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware. In device manager there is just one warning sign beside Other devices, PCI Device. Well its not the A8N-VM CSM then, if it says that. It clearly says its for that mobo. Or something is stuffed |

| 821794 | 2009-10-19 09:16:00 | 1: Check the Bios to see if it is enabled or not. 2: Check the device manager (Control Panel | System | Hardware tab | Device Manager. Look at any yellow exclamation items, probably named 'unknown multimedia' or sound or audio device or something like that. Can't find anywhere in the bios to enable sound. There is no "multimedia" listing in device manager and all the all the sound, video and game controllers appear to be ok. |

| 821796 | 2009-10-19 09:37:00 | You can download ALC850-5750 sound files. These worked for me with the ASUS A8N board. I recollect much the same problem until I did this work-around. | PENTIUM (426) | ||
| 821797 | 2009-10-19 10:04:00 | I downloaded WDM_R235. Is this the one or where do I get the drivers you're referring to? | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 821798 | 2009-10-19 10:53:00 | I have removed the netgear nic and a fax modem and still get the message on boot up that a PCI hardware device has been found. I don't know what it is and cannot get the drivers for it from the MB disk. I have WinXP installed on a sata drive. Could that be part of the problem? | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 821799 | 2009-10-19 12:11:00 | The unknown device with the question mark disappears when I disable sound in the bios. Does that help? I then downloaded Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio but still no luck. Surely there is a solution? |

| 821800 | 2009-10-19 18:51:00 | Double click on the entries / entry / unknown device. Go to details tab, select hardware ID. Copy (Cltr+A. Ctrl-C) and paste (Cltr-V), what it says there, here. We'll soon find out what the unknown device is | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 821802 | 2009-10-19 21:11:00 | Found thsi is another post: I just bought an asus a8n-vm csm motherboard, and I've been completely unable to get the on-board audio driver to install under 32 bit XP. The motherboard shiped with an ADI audio device driver (version 5.10.01.4150A). It fails to install with the error "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware". Asus's web page also has a newer driver for this motherboard, ADI version 5.10.01.4151. Same result. I then tried nvidia's nforce4 6.70 release, selecting just the audio driver. It runs without error but nothing seems to get installed (the drivers in c:\windows\nldrv remain the same). I noticed that the ADI drivers first install microsoft KB888111 (universal audio arch. high def. audio driver 1.0a) patch. Maybe that's breaking everything? I tried installing the nvidia drivers with the 888111 change alternately installed&uninstalled. The whole time, my device manager shows an unknown PCI device: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_026C&SUBSYS_CB8410DE&REV_A2\3&267A616A&0&81 That device goes away if I change the BIOS config to disable onboard audio... Any ideas what I need to do to get this audio hardware working?! bcc Nov 19 2005, 08:20 PM Ah, ok I got the system to install the driver by running the hardware wizard and telling it to manually searching for the driver for the unknown device. At that point the system found "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio". Then re-runing the asus audio setup allowed the soundmax software to finally install. The setup file should have taken care of this without requiring the hardware wizard... BTW, for everyone whose been complaining about lack of SPDIF bracket, I'd like to report that you can simply connect the +/- SPDIF pins from the motherboard to a regular RCA-type jack in your enclosure, and you're done. No need for a fancy bracket if you can get by without optical SPDIF. I tried it, and it worked (just like it did for the asus p4p800-vm motherboard). I tried to follow his example but have not been successful. Perhaps you can help me interpret. |
