ASUS A8R-MVP sound problem

[Jasonsue22]

i'm trying to get sound on my new PC and when i try to install the sound driver all i get is:

" The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware

Note: If you have uninstalled audio software without restarting your PC, restart now, then run this setup again "


I've tried the driver that was included with the A8R-MVP motherboard and a downloaded driver for it. and both do the same thing, if anyone knows why it's doing this i would really like to know what i can try to fix this becuase right now i have a computer with no sound. I don't have a sound card so i don't know if that's part of the problem or the whole problem. So if anyone can help i would appreciate it grately!!
Thanks

There is a windows hotfix for it that worked for me. Let me dig and I'll see if I can dig it up for you. You using WinXP so2 right?

Actually I don't even use the asus driver ...all I did was install the hotfix and let it run from there.

Yes ...did you never have sound? It didn't just stop working one day right?

Before you do anything ...look in your add/remove software and see if you have a Microsoft High Definition Driver. If so remove it and reboot. If your audio works then I would leave it alone. If not ...then install this hotfix.

If you PM me your email I can send it right to you.
