The Realtek headache

[SOLVED] The Realtek headache

It all started innocent enough - Remove a virus that SAS, S&D, AVG, and
NORTON could not handle. No biggie. After all, i'm not some computer noob. I'm a
seasoned veteran. This is a piece of cake for me. and sometimes i LIKE the
challenge!

well, mission accomplished. the virus.....

was removed.


but what's this? The bloody thing boffed my registry! UGH.

even though i have my theme sounds, suddenly programs
start insisting they have no default device to play on.
no biggie. i'll simply de-select what my default device is, re-boot, then re-select it,
and re-boot. Peice of cake

oh... wait.. what's this? no effect?
no problem. i'll download the latest RealTek drivers and reinstall my MoBo audio
card.
Peice of cake! Right?

nope.

no effect.

AH HA! all of these programs use DirectX!!!!
So i simply download and re-install directX 11 from Window's Micro Soft Manhood website.

nope. it changed the error. Instead of saying "No default Device" now it says
"Encountered a problem playing media" type of messages

Ok, so maybe those drivers i downloaded weren't so great.
I'll dig around in boxes for 5 hours and find the DVD that came with the motherboard
and simply un-install and re-install the Chipset AND Audio drivers that came with it.
BOY I'M A SMART ONE!


no good.


OK, I'll uninstall the devices, Remove them from device manager, and re-install them after reboot.

now, i have NO sound.
none.

oh, it recognizes it has a device.
it knows i have my headphones and mic plugged in proper.
but at the same time it forgot how to yell at me.
(all my theme sounds yell at me. I think my wife did it to me )

nice to shut up the computer, but ....

after some more fighting with it -
Windows sounds APPEAR to play (volume graphs move)
but RealTek audio manager is missing.
so i'm unable to tell it that i have headphones and not a left speaker in that jack.
(my tower has no front jacks)
Programs say i have no default device set, but i DO, and it IS default.
WMP, games, etc... don't appear to be attempting to make sounds due to this error.

if anyone can help then i'd greatly appreciate it.

i bet it's something simple.

The worst part? i forgot to save the bloody virus to report it to the standard websites

It's been down for 4 days and i'm at my witt's end.

please help.

Here comes the doctors report:

Device manager reports all equipment, and no errors.

==========================================

Moral of the story?
remember to make restore points

any help would be appreciated.
I've looked for so long it's all just a blurry re-run to me. need fresh eyes.
it seems like things just don't link together right.
and i DO need RealTek Audio Manager back.
 
Try the simple first.

Sometimes the answer is something simple/stupid. Let's hope so.

I had a similar problem and it turned out my Sound Preferences were set to use the HDMI Audio output of my video card. Simply setting back to Realtek got it working again.
 
i agree with Mugsy. check the simple stuff first (default device set correctly? are you connected to the right audio jack? onboard speakers work? etc)

you might also have a look [post=1002891]Guide to Troubleshooting Windows Audio and Sound Problems[/post]

And when you reinstalled Realtek, did you try to uninstall via Add/Remove program first? (see Guide)

/* EDIT */
btw.. re: your dxdiag report seems to indicate your Realtek drivers are installed OK but another two observations

1. You must have an addon network card? As looks like no drivers installed for your onboard Realtek network adapter

2. There's one more device without a driver: i can't figure out just what it is but seems from ATI / MSI?) SM Bus Controller.. This is usually for slow speed peripherals on the motherboard or PCI bus (e.g. a media card reader or other such slow speed device)
 
it turned out to be the result of VIDEO drivers :confused:

one by one i went through and reinstalled all drivers.
chipsets.
audio.
etc...

but reinstalling my VIDEO drivers fix the problem.
go figure.
 
yup that can happen. i have a problem with my razer mouse with certain nvidia driver version.
 
Redirection

it turned out to be the result of VIDEO drivers :confused:
I suspect a "configuration problem" similar to what I described earlier, with your video card set to redirect audio through the video cards' HDMI port. Reinstalling the drivers probably reset your settings back to their defaults.
