No Audio Devices Are Installed....

[iphonogasm]

ok im angry, im really really angry lol.

 

i just got a new server, running server 2008 r2 32bit.

 

Intel D865GBF

Southbridge Intel 82801EB (ICH5)

Chipset i865P/PE/G/i848P

 

ive real numerous posts regarding this and how many people have simply disabled the device in device manager and re-enabled it but and all problems were solved, but this is not the case for me

 

So, all i can find for the manboard are XP drivers, so i installed them and they installed fine. But the "x" still remained at the volume icon in the taskbar, so i thought the drivers were incorrect being XP drivers.

 

So today, i went and purchased a new sound card. Windows 7 compatible. installed it, installed the drivers and still, no audio devices are installed.

 

Ive checked the Windows Audio service and its enabled and automatic, tried disabling and re-enabling the device, no luck. Ive tried windows 7 and windows Vista drivers, no luck and performed a restart after each step.

 

So right now, i have a second PCI sound card installed, but in playback devices im still getting "No audio devices are installed". Is there a feature to enable audio on server 2008 like there is for the wireless LAN?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as im not sure where to go from here. Below i have some pictures of exactly what i mean.

 

THNAKS!!

Hi,

 

Windows 7 drivers are not Windows Server 2008 drivers.

 

You must find a compatible audio device.
