Here's the deal:
I just built my self a new rig and pretty much everything is working fine, except the sound. I'm a using Vista Home Premium 64-bits, so I know this may cause problems, but there must be someway to make it work. I have an Abit IX38 QuadGT motherboard that supports Realtek HDA-sound.
The problem is that I can't listen to music or any sounds from media players etc, but the "OS sounds" (i.e the "ding" sound when you click something that is not clickable) are there and I can also hear the stereo speaker test sound in the Realtek HDA configuration menu. Although this only works when I plug in my headphones in the back panel (I/O plate) - in the front panel nothing at all happens, Realtek doesn't even recognize that I plugged in my headphones.
I checked in BIOS to see that the sound device is enabled, and it is.
I think that either there's a hardware problem, although it seems to work fine. Or, there's a problem with driver compatibility for my Vista 64-bit OS.
What do you guys think? Have any solutions?
