    It's by a drive?

    Do you get anything like this?

    Cannot access the Sound control panel

    This is the direct download link to the driver: MAXIMUS VI HERO Driver+%26+Tools| Motherboards | ASUS USA


    When you download, it goes into your Downloads folder. You may just press run when your download window opens or go to your downloads folder and click on the .exe.

    It should be version 6.0.1.7899.

    Sorry I haven't been able to get on my comp yesterday! But Device Manager is white not red, and I did download the driver. Should I install it?

    It makes no difference what color the Device Manager is, the info is what counts.
    Yes, install the driver and report back if it corrects the problem or not.

    Well then the info is pretty much the same, also I am not sure if it installed on its own already as the *Warning from the Audio bus thing is gone, however I still can't access the sound panel

    Please post a pic of the Audio bus you are referring to in Device Manager.
    We need to see exactly where it is.

    Have you installed the driver ?
    If you did what was the result I asked for in my post #64 ?

    In your post #65, you said you "were not sure if it installed on its own" .
    You must install it yourself.

    Sorry for not being on recently, but from my understanding from the internet, I am supposed to go to the driver I downloaded and update it manually, however in post #35 (i think) I uninstalled it which i have never gotten back still. Did I screw up here?

    Hi there, DENMAN. I was out of town for a long weekend.

    So you haven't manually installed the new driver?

    Please click on the down arrow to open the hierarchy of "Audio inputs and outputs" and post a screenshot.

    You say you can't get to properties of the Audio bus?

    I noticed that re plugging the headphones didn't actually bring the driver back. And I have noticed I can't access properties anywhere.

    Where did everything go wrong?
