DysfunktinaL Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Okay, so it seams the last 4 comps I have build I can't get the Audio input to allow me control over anything. I can adjust the slider on the Recording volume, but that is it. All other boxes are greyed out and locked up. Here are a couple pictures to help describe my issue.I am using:Karajan audio module - Realtek ALC882 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC - 6 audio jacks - 1 CD-in connector - 1 front audio connectorAnyone ever run across this issue before?
ripken204 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 how about using the realtek control panel to change settings?not sure if this could be a windows issue with accounts types.. are you the admin or no?
DonDamm Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Hmmm. This gets a bit tricky, but first I'd start with the BIOS. You need to find the item where you can enable or disable the HD audio or AC '97 for the front and also the HD Audio for the rear. I've been fiddling with that on P5B board and I noticed that the the ANtec case I'm using has two different connectors on the same cable, so I started snooping into the BIOS settings.The next step is to load the correct drivers and software from the setup CD for the board you are using. The combination of these two maybbe why you are grayed out. Also note that in the image above you are only showing the recording items and not those associated with playback. You'll need to go into the Control Panel dialog and make sure the correct audio device is set for both playback and recording. I'm willing to bet you have something other that the Realtek HD Audio set for playback at the moment.there are someother things you can try, but I'd do those first and see if that clears it up. :^)
ripken204 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 get the latest driver here:http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...Down=false#High Definition Audio Codecsthe one on the cd is prolly a rly old version
DysfunktinaL Posted June 4, 2007 Author Posted June 4, 2007 @Rip: RealTek doesn't give me that type of control over those settings. Also, I got the latest drivers the other day, and still didn't fix it, and now I have 0 control over any settings besides environment.@Don: All I have is the onboard, and my IceMat USB soundcard, and this has been an issue since before I got the USB. In fact, that is the reason I got them, well.... that and CS. I'll look in the bios though and see if I can change it to AC'97
DysfunktinaL Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Only option in th bios is to leave it where it is, or disable it. I am assuming disable implys disabling all onboard audio?

DysfunktinaL Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Well, I don't want to disable all onboard. I just want to disable HD so I can use AC'97, or at least enable the options I can't control, but should be able to.
Netman66 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Check Add/Remove Programs for a Windows patch for KB888111 - if it's not there then download it and install it.If it's there, try removing it and reapplying.

It only took me a few days of googling....for anyone else who needs it, I uploaded it to my server:http://dysfunktinal.com/tools/KB888111.exe Edited June 6, 2007 by DysfunktinaL
DysfunktinaL Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Installed the update, no change. Edited June 6, 2007 by DysfunktinaL
Netman66 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Sorry for the long delay.If 888111 is now present in Add/Remove, then go into Device Manager and uninstall the sound card.Reboot.If it asks for drivers Cancel it.Run the Setup.exe from the latest Realtek drivers.Let us know.
DysfunktinaL Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 I'll try that right now.I actually just did a reformat after deciding to dump vista, so I'll start fresh.
DysfunktinaL Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Aite, uninstalled the update, but the realtek device was not listed under the device manager, so I am assuming it was removed when I took the update out. Rebooting right now, so we'll see what happens. I am @ work right now, just working on it via remote desktop.
