Ive been having so many issues w/ the audio on this board. It will not give me sound, w/e I do. Ive reinstalled the latest drivers, disabled it / enabled it under Device manager. It says the device is working properly, but still no sound. Any ideas?

Ive tried 3 different kinds of headphones too.

open realtek HD sound effect manager (control panel), audio i/o panel, and tell it what you have plugged in?

I've had a lot of issues with the on board sound as well, i had a soundblaster card with my last setup so i threw that in. One thing i noticed with using headphones, everytime i plugged them in i would use the control panel and tick the tab for headphones but no luck, if i leave them plugged in and restart the system it would work. Bit of a PIA so i won't use the onboard.

nono, you click on the picture of the mic then tell it what it is you've plugged in (for normal speakers line out) it only lights up the ports you have plugged in

Have you enabled it in the bios?

That happened to me once with my MSI board. also make sure you pplug it into the correct slot on your mobo.

I prefer the onboard Realtek over both my A1, and A2 ZS.

Are you running the latest driver? http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...52&famid=2004052&series=2004061&Software=True

edit: don't forget the hotfix if you're running x64: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=901105

edit2: In BIOS have you picked the correct settings for the front panel connectors? (AC97 vs Azalia)?

Yeah, the P5WDH has HD Audio enabled by default so you need to change it in the BIOS to AC97 if you are not using HD.
