| 804362 | 2009-08-31 21:18:00 | Get them off the realtek site (www.realtek.com.tw) Make sure you get the version, for your version of windows | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 804363 | 2009-09-01 01:02:00 | thanks wainuitech - I'm trying REALLY hard but still getting "registration key/payment needed". I went to your link on 26/08/09 7.35pm, got the Guru3D page, found "download with installer" button half way down page, got sent to second page with blue/yellow "download now" box for the Guru3D Driver Sweeper at the top of the page, then got sent down to the bottom of that page with a large picture of "windows vista/driver update", got sent to another page with "Driver Robot", which when installed required the registration key stuff. :thanks To download the program -- EXACT steps: With Pictures :) Click on the First installer link - next page - Click on Download Now (www.imagef1.net.nz) - next page - Download ( Europe) (www.imagef1.net.nz) - next page - Scroll down, click on I AGREE (www.imagef1.net.nz) - A download box will appear, save the file someplace you can find it, (Desktops good). Next double click the exe file and follow through the install - using default settings. When you run it, you will get This window (www.imagef1.net.nz) - Clickon Realtek - then click clean - accept any pop ups - you will need to reboot, the audio may try and auto install again, if it does and it gives the option to cancel, cancel - install the correct drivers from the realtek site as speedy posted DONT use that robot program. |

| 804364 | 2009-09-03 01:11:00 | I successfully downloaded Driver sweeper. And loaded the Realtek program from Acer.co.nz (my hardware) but still not working. Also tried the HD file from the Realtek website. Also tried a system restore (it said it was going back one day but it appeared to go back further?). Sound still not working. I have another set of speakers that came with the new computer that was replaced roughly 18 months ago and plugged the rectangular plug into the front of the computer and the small plug into the back of the computer into the blue hole. May not have done this correctly but no sound. Have looked at Realtek Audio Manager again and saying that speakers working and no mutes on anywhere. :thanks |

| 804365 | 2009-09-03 01:28:00 | The Audio is normally Green - and has a 3.5mm round plug. plugged the rectangular plug into the front of the computer Rectangular Plug :confused: What plug is that ????????? Do you mean a USB ? What sort of speakers do you have? |
wainuitech (129) | ||
| 804366 | 2009-09-03 03:16:00 | Yes a USB plug. The speakers are the ones from the old computer (DTA brandname - nothing flash). They have been working fine (until the sound stopped a few weeks ago). The speakers have always been plugged into the blue socket at the back of the harddrive with no problems. Have tried both the blue and green sockets. Thanks! |

| 804367 | 2009-09-03 06:47:00 | Try opening the HD control Panle, normally a orange /brown speaker in the Icon Tray. Once open look for something like "audio Input" - make sure the speakers are showing as being connected. Look also for a Small Spanner Icon - if its there open it and see whats ticked and whats not - advice back here. Also go into the control Panel, Sounds and audio devices, under the Audio tab, make sure the Audio is set to realtek. IF its still having problems - I'd suggest you boot up the PC form something Like a Linux Live CD, Run FROM THE CD - dont install - that will load in default audio drivers without touching your current OS - see if the sounds working -if it is then we know its a software problem. |

| 804368 | 2009-09-04 01:15:00 | Same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. Checked everything out and eventually discovered that the sound card had stopped working. Not that common a fault but it does happen. JR |

Opened the orange symbol and in the sound manager the speakers are on, not muted, set to 50% and set to 24bits 48000 Hz (studio). The 'line in' was on, not muted, set to 50% and default was 16bits 441000 (CD). I didn't have a spanner icon but had an "information" icon - it said version 6.0.1.5334, directx version 10.0, controller HD audion and codec ALC883. Sounds and audio Devices: speaker not muted and set to 50%, playback speakers on. Set to Realtek under sounds speakers. Haven't done the rebooting as I need to look up google how to do the last paragraph (later). Cheers! helen |
