Did you try manually installing the Realtek driver?»www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/I believe you want the "High Definition" link, chose the Windows 2000/XP/2003 driver towards the bottom.I used to see that a lot with XP and Realtek.. the device not showing up automatically thus the need to install the driver manually.
Do I need the Microsoft UAA patch for HD Audio SP2 QFE even though I am running SP3?
