Hey everyone. I have just built a new computer for the first time using the Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L motherboard. I thought when I bought it it had integrated sound, and it does seem to have sound ports, and on the manufacturers website it says it has intel HD audio. However, when I run dxdiag on my computer, it cannot find any sound devices or drivers, even though I have fully working speakers attached to the right port. I am fairly certain everything within the computer is hooked up correctly, but I still cannot get it to work can anyone give me a reason to this problem, and even better would be a solution. Thanks

Hi and welcome telstar
Do you have any exclamation marks in device manager?

No, none at all (do you mean under all the drop down bits?)

Re: Trouble with sound on a Gigabyte GA-EP43-
..and you have installed all of the chipset drivers?
Do you have a speaker icon next to the clock on the taskbar?

Re: Trouble with sound on a Gigabyte GA-EP43-
Also, i have no idea whether this is a complete coincidence or is of some significance, but when I first installed windows 7 (the release candidate) the sound worked for a few days before it stopped working. Also, at the same time Rome tw which i had installed stop working to. I cant trace what software installation may have caused this as i was doing many at the time. like i said, this may be completely meaningless

Re: Trouble with sound on a Gigabyte GA-EP43-
..and if you double-click on the sound icon, do you see anything muted in there?
