I have a HP Pavilion Media Center a1520n with vista installed on it and for some reason the integrated sound device is not being recognize. I have gathered some info and what i speak of is: Integrated High Definition audio * Realtek ALC 883 chipset * Supports up to 8 audio channels * Dolby Pro Logic II compatible & the driver can be found @ HP.com I have tried installing it and hoping that the device will work properly but instead it sees the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit Audio Controller. I'm not very Hardware Tech but i would really like to put a fix to this issue! If anyone knows a solution to my problem PLEASE HELP!
Did you install a Sound Blaster sound card in your computer? Are you getting any sound from your computer? Is the onboard audio enabled in the BIOS?

Well i can get sound off the sound blaster audio card but its the Integrated one that i am truly trying to get the function of. It has a nice little Audio Out connection that i can plus my 5.1 SS System into, as well the fact that there is a few connections in the front of the PC i would like to have in use for earphones. I have tried deleting the SB Live! drivers and searching for the Realtek instead but for some reason it just will not find it :S I have installed all the recommended drivers from HP.com non help my issue!
You didn't answer the third question that I asked, in my last post. It could be a key to your success, because the onboard audio is more than likely disabled.
I'm sorry the system will not even recognize that there is onboard audio even installed. Just Gives me the SB Live! I cannot Enable or Disable it. Also not sure if i mentioned but i am running Windows Vista .. Might help?
