Got a new comp with Vista pre-installed. Uninstalled Vista. Installed
XP on another partition. No sound on new comp.

Mobo details:

[ Motherboard ]

Motherboard Properties:
Manufacturer Acer
Product F672CR
Version R01-A3

Chipset Properties:
Motherboard Chipset SiS 672
Memory Timings 5-5-5-15 (CL-RCD-RP-
RAS)

Tried finding drivers for my product below.

http://snipurl.com/226oj

Video drivers worked great, but the 25 MB Realtek Audio driver failed.
It appeared to install correctly but there was still no sound device
detected in the device manager.

What's a guy to do?

Thanks in advance.

I looked in your list, couldn't find your pc with the info you gave, need
more detail.
ie is this a decktop, if so whats the model name?

Also with Realtek sound, there are usually two audio drivers, rather large
files, make sure you installed them both

Yes, it's a desktop. See the desktop interface info below

I only see one for Windows XP on that list. If it consists of 2 audio
drivers, I think they're included in that huge pack. I could be wrong.

That better?

what you can do is purchase a cheap sound card from newegg.com
if you can't find the drivers.

It is more likely that the Realtec HD sound card drivers will not
install correctly. Look for the Microsoft Universal Audio
Architecture (UAA) driver and install this first.

My desktop model is AM1610-B1210A.

AUDIO.ZIP, failed. Even with the .NET Framework installed.

I could only find 2 seperate, outdated versions, Jan and September
2006 respectively. Neither of 'em changed anything. Is there a place
where I could find a more up-to-date version?

I also tried visitting DriversPlanet.com (http://www.driversplanet.com/
device.php?id=121814) and the SoundMax package failed too.

Then I guess you may have to go back to VISTA, as you may not be able to get
drivers for your hardware, guess it would have been better to have checked
this out before you removed vista.

Sound worked fine on Vista. I believe I conducted a summarized report
while I still had access to Vista, but dunno where it is ATM. I can't
access Vista now, I removed it.

Not every hardware manufacturer will create drivers of both XP and
Vista. With MS pushing Vista, the manuafcturer will concentrate on
Vista drivers.

****in' A! Problem solved, no thanks to you mofos. Apparently, SOMEHOW
my BIOS was reset when I reinstalled XP on both the partitions which
disabled sound. I re-enabled it and sound finally worked.
