Hey Almighty1,

Thank you for the reply. I actually got it fixed yesterday by using a method briefly mentioned here. A French poster on touslesdrivers.com forums made a step-by-step post on how to combine the .cab files with the WIN64 folder from another download, and then execute the setup file. That worked beautifully and I'm on 8219 now WITH HD Audio Manager.

Try this instead, when you install from device manager, you extracted the .cab file correct to it's own folder? What you should do is when you select Update Driver in Device Manager, select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" and then point it at the folder of the version of the drivers you want to install and then pick one of the shown list of compatible devices. This assumes that when you did the "Browse my computer for driver software" and instead if choosing the "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" on the bottom, you selected the top option and pointed to the folder of the drivers you want to install under "Search for drivers in this location" including checking the box for include subfolders is what caused it to say Windows already has the best drivers installed. If not, then you should do that one as it should install the drivers. Otherwise, you will have to do the "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" option as mentioned and see if the HD Audio Manager works and then do post #2777 if needed and remember if you do manage to get HD Audio Manager opened and want it in your system tray, make sure to click on the "i" on the lower right of HD Audio Manager right above the "OK" button and click on "Display icon in notification area".

 

Windows not recognizing motherboard audio device

If the HD Audio device only appears in Device Manager as a Hidden Device (it displays with a transparent icon) then, yes, Windows is not detecting the device. Could be the chip failed. But here's a trick that sometimes works....

HD audio connects like this:Windows <===> HD Audio Controller <=======> HD Audio Device
Your HD audio device connects downstream to an Audio Controller. Sometimes the controller needs to be reset.

Look in Device Manager under System Devices. Do you find a device named something like "High Def Audio Controller" or "Realtek HD Audio Controller"?

• If not there, it's the controller that failed
• If you find the HD audio controller:
  • Right click it, select Uninstall. If asked, do not choose to delete driver files.
  • Reboot. The driver will reinstall and the audio controller will attempt to re-detect the HD audio device. Does it find it this time?

If that doesn't work, i'd also check if any BIOS updates.
