Can't get audio in to work on Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P

[DarrellS]

Has anyone with this board been able to get audio in to work on this board? I've updated the audio drivers but still can't get it to work.

From googling I've seen others with the same problem and Gigabyte is supposed to know about the problem but does not have a fix.

Gigabyte's website looks good but downloading anything is a nightmare with dial-up download speeds. Starting to wish I would've kept the Intel board.

Guess I'll have to install an audio card.

interesting. maybe a bad motherboard. i looked through a 100 reviews of it on newegg.com and not a single one had audio problems.

I've got it working but the audio manager shows everything grayed out in the record settings. The master audio control did have the recording options grayed out but now they're there.

Just must be a bug in the Gigabyte software. My brother has the same audio on the Intel board that I gave him but it has a different software and everything works right on it.

I thought maybe the Hauppauge HVR1800 that I just installed had something to do with it since I never noticed it until now but my brother installed the same card and he has no problems.




There are a couple of answers in the FAQ about the audio and on Intels site there are FAQs about the audio not working right on Windows 2000. I had to use my audio card on the Intel board since I had W2K at the time and I believe I had problems installing the audio on this board. Took a couple of days to get it working.

you should be able to use the generic realtek drivers from their site.

I thought I mentioned to you to download the HD drivers from the REALTEK website when you first were having problems with the HD audio. I had a similar problem so I downloaded the latest drivers from the REALTEK site.

I did and was able to get the audio to work after a couple of days of fighting with it (now that I think about it, I never could get it to work on the new XP install and had to use the old drive that I already had it working on) but when I got my new capture card and went looking for audio in, it wasn't there. I downloaded a newer driver today and got the input working but it still shows all the lines in grayed out.

It took a half hour to download the driver files when it should've only taken a minute or two with my highspeed connection.

EDIT: That was the Gigabyte website. Each motherboard manufacturer has their own software drivers.

Start off with:

Take all add-on cards out of the system, including that hauppauge hvr1800, and then try working on the audio problem

You may find you inadvertently have system resources used by onboard audio being used by another addon device, which is the cause of the problem.

It may be as simple as having that capture card in the wrong slot.

Just because a mother board slot is vacant, dosen't mean you can use it without developing issues later.

Gigabytes website is fine, thou some find it hard to navigate, but don't always blame them for slowness of service, take into account the problem could be related to issues with your current isp.

I have found that when I had problems, I would contact Gigabyte support through their website email and they always responded within 24 hours. I have had better support from them than other manufacturers.
