Vista Users! How to / Problems

Well, I got Vista installed before...



I can't get my sound working, Apparently, Vista DL's the drivers you need on it's own, but I still don't have sound... I've gotten all the updates through update manager too...



For sound drivers;

I tried the ones off the Gigabyte Web site, that are apparently for XP and Vista, and I got these messages after installing;











Still, no sound, any ideas?



Also, when I turn the computer off, it start to turn off, but then it BSOD's and then restarts, this happens every time I try to turn it off, I don't know what it's because of, because I don't have time to read what it says...



Before, I went to turn the cathodes off at the back of the comp, when I heard a click and then the comp turned off, I turned off the PSU, waited a little while, then turned it back on, could this be why? Or is it the sound drivers, because they aren't compatable?



Any ideas or suggestions would be GREATLY apprciated! Thanks a lot!

I dont know about the sound driver trouble but the BSOD's are generally caused because of RAM mishaps....



Try reseting your bios and then reinstall your windows!! it may hopefully work.

Correction needed please! Most BSODs are a result of driver problems. That is software related. The first with Vista besides disabling the annoying User Account Control option box found in the Control Panel is to disable the Windows firewall at least until all of your main hardware drivers see a good install.

Automatically allowing Windows to simply download drivers doesn't always insure the correct ones are going on. But the item on the list since Vista still sees the device manager is to go into the sound, video, and game controllers section to look for the one or more items related to the board's software there.

Simply right click on the main one found and choose the update driver option with the board's software disk in the optical drive. The idea there is to replace a bad set you may seen or bad install by browsing the audio driver folder in order to highlight the original in order for Windows to copy and install from there.

It could be, the BSOD is a stop 0x0000007F error?



PC Eye, Thanks, I turned off the firewall and tried installing again, but I got the same error message, also I right clicked in Device Manager and asked it to find the right ones for me and it said that I had them already installed, so I don't know what to do now...

i am too having problems with sound--



when using digital out (spdif) my sound keeps muting evry now and again for a fraction of a second.



nothing major but annoying-think its one of them things that will be sorted eventualy when patches start getting released-i hope

What about the BSOD too?

I may just re-install Vista, think I should?

Bump, I re-installed Vista and the BSOD's gone, now, I need to get the sound working... Do I install Chipset Drivers then the sound ones, or what?



Links?



thanks!

not sure, i would install the chipset--then sound drivers. Hope that fixes it



If you havn't already, disable "UAC"

Ok sure, I'll give it a go... I hope it works too!



Also, there's two sound drivers for my MOBO, what order do they go in?



How do I disable it?

Well, just got a load of updates and when it was turning off, I got a BSOD with an 0x0000007F error, it's the same one I was having before I re-installed, it only happens after I install the updates thought! It's got to be one of them!?



This is pissing me right off!
