P5B WiFi Deluxe - HD Audio Installation Problem

Hi,

on my brand new board I only installed a Win XP Profe$$ional SP2 and
the Patch 888111 (HD-Audio-Driver) from Micro$oft.

Installing the Asus Audio-Driver v5.10.01.6100 the driver says:

"No HD-Audio-Driver found"

In the "software"-List of XP the Patch 888111 is listed.

What should i do to hear some sound from my board (system-sound, video
for me, games for the kids).

TIA

Hi Bjoern,

I have the same P5B WiFi Deluxe M/B runing Vista Ultimate
and have the same message on opening. But Generic MS drivers for
Vista work fine for me. Check BIOS for details my be there
you find a solution.

Is the Patch 888111 the only generic MS driver for XP SP2 for
HD-Audio? Or is there something else necessary from MS?

What might the BIOS have for a problem ?
I thought that it is a OS-Problem?

Thanks for answer!

Hi Bjoern,

I don't have an answer for neither question yet.
Sometime I thought when an info appears,
"No HD-Audio-Driver found" - it might
be a matter of tuning up of hardware.
But you may be correct - that in this case,
it might be OS-Problem only.

I mainly wated to point that this:
"No HD-Audio-Driver found"
is nagging Vista users also.

Some of the HDaudio packages I've looked at from Asus, already
have a copy of 888111 included in the package. Perhaps if you'd
just stuck with the motherboard CD first, and tried that, things
might have turned out differently.

In the BIOS, there is a disable item for HDaudio. From the factory,
it should be enabled, and you can verify that HDaudio is still enabled.

The order of install I'd try:

1) Install (or Repair Install) Windows.
Use F6 if a storage driver is required.
2) Install Asus motherboard CD drivers.
3) Finish updating Windows via Windows Update etc.

And sometimes, all it takes is an extra reboot, for the software
to get straightened out.

Also, there are occasional issues with localization. Some early
Asus HDaudio packages came with about 25 different langauges. Some
later ones only had the English version of 888111. So plenty of
things can go wrong. I recommend inspecting the Asus driver package
first, to see whether 888111 is present, and whether the required
localization is also present.

Also, get a copy of Everest, and see if the HDaudio device is
visible in the Device lists.
