Well, to get to the bottom of this (hopefully), in Device Manager,
double-click the Device with the yellow triangle. Go to the Details tab of
the Device's Properties. In the drop-down menu, under Property,
choose Hardware ID. Right-click the Value shown and choose Select All.
Copy the value and post it in your reply. It will look something like this
example:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VENN_10EC&DEV_0260&SUBSYS_02600000&REV_1003
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0260&SUBSYS_02600000

In the past, did you ever have another soundcard in one of the PCI slots?

Too, in Device Manager, is High Definition Audio Controller *under* VIA AC97
Enhanced Audio Controller, or are the two entries *side-by-side*, so to
speak, both under "Sound, video, and game controllers"? Two Audio
Controllers is odd...

If you View "Devices by connection", is there anything listed under VIA AC97
Enhanced Audio Controller? Is there anything listed under High Definition
Audio Controller?

Here is the information from the Hardware ID for the High Definition Audio
Controller

PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3288&SUBSYS_818F1043&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3288&SUBSYS_818F1043
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3288&CC_040300
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3288&CC_0403

The motherboard has no PCI cards installed and has been clean installed a
few times during this troubleshooting.
In device manager it shows the VIA AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller under
Sound, video, and game controllers and the High Definition Audio Controller
under System devices, I did install the AC97 Vista Drivers from Realtek and
now it shows Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller and the High
Definition Audio Controller is still the same
Under device by connection the Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio
Controller shows on it's own under PCI Bus and the High Definition Audio
Controller shows with (2 entries) of VIA Standard PCIE Root Port under the
VIA Standard PCI to PCIE Bridge category.

Running bcdedit /set CONFIGACCESSPOLICY DISALLOWMMCONFIG from command prompt
as someone suggested does remove the High Definition Audio Controller entry
for good but was told it is only a workaround.

cheers

Followed this thread with much interest, have an asus p5v800mx mb,
did spend a couple of days trying to get sound after installing vista
premium 64,
realtek drivers etc to no avail.
A quick solution (at least for me) was plugging a usb2 soundcard in the
computer,
vista instandly recognised this and installed the drivers, no more troubles
since.

Hey guys, ive spent the last 48hrs trying to find someone with this problem
and finally here it is.
I'm having the exact same problems but instead mine is an Audigy SE Card
which im getting a yellow exclamation mark in vista home prem. Also is this
mysterious high def audio controller which also has the yellow icon. Both say
code 12 could not find enough resources for this device. Ive tried disabling
and enabling each and no success. Ive tried all drivers from both the realtek
guys and creative and asus bios is updated.
Is the board not supported for Vista? P5VDC-MX Asus board. Do i really have
to replace the motherboard which i dont want to have to do just to get sound
working?

Although, in my experience, you can have two audio adapters installed and
working fine in the same computer, in your case I would first go into the BIOS
and DISABLE the on-board audio adapter.

Then go into Control Panel > Device Manager and UNINSTALL (not disable) the
Audigy card and, if offered, check the box to REMOVE THE DRIVER FILES.

Next, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, and uninstall the Creative
Audio Console.

Reboot.

Download the Vista Audigy drivers to a folder on your desktop:

[url]http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=1&nRegionFK=&nCountryFK=&nLanguageFK=&sOSName=Windows+Vista+32-bit&region=1&Product_Name=Audigy+SE&Product_ID=14257&modelnumber=&driverlang=1033&OS=26&drivertype=0&x=28&y=12[/url]

Right click on the download and check Unblock, Apply, and OK.

Run the driver file

REBOOT

Hi, after wasting a lot of time trying to get the sound working with several
driver updates etc.
I just plugged a usb soundcard in and connected speakers and microfone, it
just worked fine
(Vista Home Premium 64 bit) no drivers needed, but you need to make sure the
soundcard is suitable for Vista, they don't cost much.
HTH, Herman
