Solved New Motherboard, No Sound At All

  • 0

This is a new build with an ASUS Z-97A motherboard.

Can someone post steps or links to sound drivers for this mobo we can try?

Built it today and everything works great except there is no sound at all. headphones won’t work, speakers won’t work, nothing is muted, just no sound at all.

Suggestions?

The pins the HD Audio connects to are very very tight. Is that normal? That’s the only odd thing I can come up with.

  1. The sound drivers are on the disc that came with the motherboard or you can get them from the link provided by HopperRox, or directly from Realtek. I don’t know what you mean by “HD Audio connects”? Your board has the typical rear audio ports plus a front panel audio connector that need to be plugged into the front audio ports on your case. There’s also a digital audio connector that connects to the supplied S/PDIF bracket that should be placed in one of the slots in the rear of the case. It’s all detailed in the motherboard manual. See page 1-30.

    To check to see if drivers are installed, look in Device Manager in the Control Panel.
