Title: On board sound problems
Post by: drover on November 28, 2009, 06:06:41 pm

I recently installed a GA-M720-US3 mobo after a board failure.

I've go everything working fine apart from the fact that I only get sound from one front speaker and the two rears.

I've tried cleaning the registry and deleting all drivers and reinstalling and am now at a total loss.

system:

processor AMD 6000+
Windows 7 32 bit
4gb ram

Can anyone help - do you think I've got a defective board?

Prosuming you have a 5.1 surround system. You're going to have to play around with speaker options in the realtek panel. For example my rear speakers had to be set as side speakers for them to work

Thanks for that - I've managed to get the centre / sub woofer and one front working but cannot get more than 3 speakers going.

It does tell me however that this is not a hardware problem.

One thing I've noticed is that if I run the gigabyte automatic driver checking option it tells me I need to update my PCI driver and when I do this the version seems to update in Windows but the software still reports that I need to update?

Any more advice???

You could try the windows update driver, just to see what happens. You probably just need to fiddle around with the settings somemore. Even though the jacks are colour coded you could try swapping the front and rear ones around.

Hi,
You installed the  win 7 driver manually From the realtek website?
As oggmonster says, Check your Win 7 sound options control panel and realtek control panel,
Regards

I take it you have looked at  sounds  in control, click your device then configure, it should show stereo,2.1 5.1,7.1 depending on the sound system you have.
Sorry to jump in I am new here, how do you make a new thread?
