Hello there! My computer has been previously reformatted. All is gone, including the driver of the Realtek sound card. The problem is this, when installing the driver, and the progress bar is almost at the end, a blue screen appears with white captions and my computer will suddenly reboot (that's why I cannot read the white captions) and there is no driver installed. I have repeated this over and over again, but the result still remains unlikable. That's why my computer cannot produce sounds. Please, I am begging all of you, what can I do in order to install the driver of my computer's realtek sound card?

The most probable reason is that you're using the wrong driver. Is it one you got with the card/mobo or is it one you downloaded? For a start, go into Control Panel/System/advanced/startup & recovery and untick the box that says 'automatically restart' - this will let you see what the blue screen is saying. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."

Hello! I think it is the right kind of driver. I have already used Everest Ultimate software. And disabling the automatic restart, can't it lead to system file abnormalities?

No, disabling automatic restart just means that the computer stops at a blue screen (so that you can read it) rather than just immediately re-booting. I wouldn't rely too much on Everest - it's given me incorrect information in the past, you're better off with a DOS based utility like AIDA that runs without Windows running, otherwise your best source for the correct driver (assuming it's an on-board one) is the manufacturer of the motherboard or system. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."

Realtek makes literally thousands of different variations of their hardware. You need to get the drivers from the manufacturer of the motherboard or if an OEM computer, from there. Do you know what motherboard you have?

The Belarc Advisor give me this informations about the main circuit board: Board: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. P5PE-VM Rev 1.00 Bus Clock: 200 megahertz BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 1201 11/23/2006 The current driver for this sound device is Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver (WDM) but no sound is produced.

The answer's staring you right in the face! You have the make/model of the board, all you have to do is go to the manufacturer's website & download the proper driver. Your soundchip is Analog Devices AD1888. Download the SoundMax AD1888 Audio driver from the Asus site. Just scroll down & click on the Download tab: http://www.asus.com/Product.aspx?P_...
