After you installed Vista, did you then install the drivers for all your
hardware - motherboard (chipset), sound, video, network, etc.? If you
forgot to do this, that's your next step. See the following for general
drivers information:

The First Law of Driver Updates is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Normally if everything is working you want to leave things as they are.
The exception is that heavy-duty gamers will usually want to update
their video and sound drivers to squeeze every last bit of performance
out of the hardware to get the fastest frame rates. If you're not one of
those people, you don't need to update your drivers if there are no
problems you are trying to solve.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.

If you have installed drivers from Windows Update, you can roll them back:

You should be patient and try and download them later. Also, make sure
that you are following the drivers instructions I gave you and only
downloading drivers from the right source. You should only be going
directly to Realtek's site if you *don't* have an OEM machine (Dell, HP,
etc.) and if your motherboard mftr. *doesn't* have the sound drivers for
their motherboard if this is a generic-build computer.

I recommend that you use Free Download Manager or a similar download program
that supports resume.

Ok Ive followed youre steps. First I went to Fujisti Simens website found
drivers for my motherboard but it dident support Vista. After that I
downloaded Realtek AC'97 Audio driver for Windows Vista from Realteks own
website. I instaled it restarted my computer but still no sound.

So now it comes out that the machine on which you've installed Vista has
hardware that is not supported in Vista. The hardware mftrs. write
drivers, not Microsoft. If your motherboard mftr. does not have drivers
for Vista - which would include sound drivers - then you aren't going to
get proper sound on Vista. End of story. If you have a desktop computer
there is an easy workaround - purchase a PCI sound card that supports
Vista and disable onboard sound from the BIOS.[color=blue]

Yes of course I understand. You've got the wrong drivers. Obviously
there is a different Realtek chipset version/flavor on the motherboard,
a very common occurrence since motherboard mftrs. often have components
made for them. If everything else is working under Vista, purchase a PCI
sound card as suggested above. If other hardware isn't working properly,
put an operating system on that box that is supported by its hardware.
