"Cann't find Match Realtek HDAudio Inf File"
My motherboard is a TUL AX480A7-VGF with an ATI Radeon chipset. The onboard soundcard is not being recognized by my computer, and I would really like that to change. It happened after I had to have Geeksquad wipe and restore my windows, I also had them upgrade me from 2000 to XP. So I get a brand new Xp system, but I need to find my sound drivers. I found them here http://www.tulgroup.com.cn/global/dr...2=134&cat3=317
after searching for WAY too many hours, but when I try to install them I get the (seemingly common) Realtek mispelled error message of "Cann't find Match Realtek Inf File!".
I've seen a lot of other people have the same problem on the net, and each have been given a solution tailored for their personal computer. I'm hoping that with the specs I'm about to share, I too can be helped out. PLEASE, I fought the virus that they eventually had to wipe for 3 days straight. This is my second day trying to get sound, I just want my computer back!!!

Welcome to Windrivers Vandersvelt
Have you tried the realtek reference drivers?

Yes, I have most definitely tried those, and thanks for the suggestion. Alas, that did not solve my problem

According to the manual, your audio is:
Azalia ALC880 8-channel audio CODEC
soooo try the intel version...

Alright, tried the link that says try the intel version, downloaded it, ran the setup that was in the unzipped folder, (after uninstalling the previous attempt of course), and no error message, so that's a first. However, even though it says there is a Realtek HD Audio Driver in my Add/Remove programs window, I still have No Audio Device in the sounds and Audio Device window. Am I supposed to do more than run the setup? I will try the first posts response, see if that works.

Are you sure the sound is turned on in bios?
Is there a playback device in the drop down list?

No, there is no playback device. That's what I'm trying to make show up. I'm thinking my noobishness is showing. I'm going to go check the BIOS. brb.
EDIT: Okay, unless switching Game Port to enabled does it, I don't see anything in the BIOS pertaining to switching on the onboard sound card. Unless.... it's not the Midi port is it? That doesn't sound right. Thanks for your patience, pls help lol

What does device manager say under sound, etc?
Also start, run type in
services.msc
click ok
Look for the windows audio service, it should be automatic and started.

Windows audio service is automatic and started. Under device manager, sound, video and game controllers, it lists:
-Audio Codecs
-Legacy Audio Drivers
-Legacy Video Capture Devices
-Media Control Devices
-Standard Game Port
-Video Codecs
EDIT:
Finally got around to OMGmissinglink's suggestion, after trying to run that first link, it said I didn't have the right hardware for it. Thanks though

It would seem the software has installed, but not the drivers.
What options did you find in the bios for audio, sound etc? anything labelled AC97?

I'm gonna go look for anything labeled AC97, I have no idea what that means. I did not find anything blatanly pertaining to sound.
EDIT: So.... changed B (there was A and B, A was set to Azalia) to Audio Only, and when I started up it detected audio hardware on the system for the first time! However, it said it could not start up, and it's doing a troubleshooting thing. Looks like something good happened! Hmmmm It's now finding the UAA Bus Driver for High definition Audio.... maybe let it install that then reset and try the other again. I'll reedit as things happen
Oh god, it seems to be working. I must have the wire in the wrong slot in the back.... I think I love you....
REEDIT: Well poo.... the computer at least says Realtek HD Audio output in the sounds and audio device, but it's a bit different. It use to let us choose between front and back, and.... none of the ports are working. None of them are giving us sound. It doesn't give us error message when we try to play sounds... but it's not actually making it through the wires either. Any suggestions?

Alright, so instead of triple editing, I tried putting in the drivers I still had that were specifically for the motherboard, and off the motherboards site, and lo and behold we now have sound. Thank you SOOOOO much for your help kind sir. I wish there were some way I could repay you.
