    Re: Realtek, headset and mic not working.

    there's at least 3 versions of the driver (high def version, anyway,
    which i use). try going back a version. the first time i loaded 1.72
    my headphones stopped working. the thing is if i don't uninstall the
    old driver and just let the 1.72 load, the headset now works. go figure.

    I've already tried that with version 1.69 and 1.70, i dont know if it would
    help with 1.72? When i load the older version, the setup program dosent
    continue unless i choose "yes" to delete the current version, i hope this
    make sense.

    Have you tried this?

    Right-click the Sound icon in the notification area, and choose Recording
    Devices. On the Recording tab of Sound, right-click an empty spot of the
    window, and put a checkmark next to "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show
    Disconnected Devices". Do the same for the Playback tab. If you see the
    microphone or headphones, right-click those, and choose enable.

    uninstall the driver from the device manager
    then install the chipset driver and the audio driver. are you sure it´s
    realtek?
    another thing you can try is to right click the device and click update
    driver, and let it look for the driver automatically on the internet.

    all I get from doing that is vista telling me that the current driver is
    fine. :)

    If I were you, I would start from square one, beginning with a full manual
    uninstall:

    1.Download the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers (ver. 1.75), and save to a folder
    on your Desktop, from here:

    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs

    2. In Control Panel > Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers,
    right click on the Realtek HD Audio Device and select UNINSTALL ****be SURE to
    check the box to delete the driver files in the uninstall confirmation box****.

    3. In Control Panel > Programs and Features, right click on the Realtek HD
    Audio Drivers and select UNINSTALL (Windows will install generic HD audio
    drivers -- Go back to Device Manager and UNINSTALL the generic HD audio device.)

    4. REBOOT (Windows will reinstall the generic HD audio drivers again -- IGNORE.)

    5. Right click the downloaded new Realtek driver file and press the "Unblock"
    button and the "Apply" and "OK buttons. Double click and install the new Realtek
    drivers.

    6. REBOOT

    7. Go back to Control Panel > Sound, and configure your Recording and Playback
    devices using the Properties and Configure buttons. Be sure to right click in an
    empty area of both windows, and check both "Show Disconnected Devices" and "Show
    Disabled Devices".

    I had the same problem when Vista updated my audio drivers (without warning or consent!)

    At first I ended up running system restore and turning off windows update, which fixed my problem temporarily, but windows update somehow managed to re-enable itself and I was back to square one.

    I was able to fix the problem with the new AC'97 drivers and my mic however. It turned out that the new drivers changed my microphone port into a line-in port, but there's an easy way to remedy this.

    • First open the Sound Manager (which is availible with the latest version of the driver) and click on the "Speaker Configuration" tab.
    • This shows how your sound ports on your back panel are currently set up. To change this, click on the oval UAJ button, your red mic port should be highlighted.
    • Click on it, and change "Line In" to "Microphone"

    I hope you were having the same problem, if so, this should fix it.
