I just started toying with Windows 7 64 bit, and I've hit my first snag (a common one it seems): getting my onboard 7.1 surround to work. Mobo is an Asus P5K Premium WiFi.
At first, before installing any drivers, it worked perfectly fine in the sound test, all 7 speakers. But I can't seem to make Media Player use em, or the one game I've installed, Fallout 3. In both cases, only the 3 fronts work. I'm assuming this is a driver issue, as it works fine in 32bit Vista.
I tried installing the last Vista 64 bit driver, but I get the same results: the configuration/tester app works fine, but only the front speakers work in Fallout 3 and WMP. The driver I used was:
AD1988BBlackHawk_V6100126280JVBWHQL.zip
Any idea if such a driver exists for Windows 7? I found this one in another post (DLing now), but I'm not sure if it's the right one for my mobo:
I want drivers for my sound card. actually its working properly, but i an using 5.1 channel speakers, so, its not properly giving output for 5.1 channel, but stereo works properly, i.e. 2.1 speakers. My mixer helps to do the same. And Asus wifi solo, if possible for windows 7.
I have the above mobo, just installed windows 7 64bit. Everything else is fine but I cannot get the sound to work even though when I test or play music I see the bar rise and fall. I have exhausted everything I know to do. I did see the CM6501 thread here but after trying the drivers, it still does not work and when I click the CM6501 icon, it freezes the PC and I have to reboot.
Do I insert the CD that came with my PC (which included the original ASUS driver) & install that driver, THEN go to the ASUS site and update the newest driver?
OR is there another/better way.
Oh - did a clean install of win 7 and I do see a Windows.old folder - if this is of any help.
I am experiencing very random BSOD. I keep my HTPC on 24/7 and this happens usually when I am not on a computer or have a huge copying job running. I have run memory test and there are no errors. Just changed my SSD and Mobo. I was previously having BSODs as well but I think I nailed that one by updating the firmware on my OCZ Vertex 3 SSD. This is a very new install. Just installed about 7 days ago and left it to run to see stability, but it doesn't seem to be stable.

I have just completed a new build. On first switch on the BIOS loaded & I received the message 'Re-boot & Select proper boot device'.I can't get past this.The build has a SSD drive only, the onboard graphics is being used for now, I have not yet connected a CD'DVD drive & no other drives.I have initialised the drive in another PC but that has not resolved the issue.All components are new, has anyone had a similar problem, it's got me puzzled?Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN 3Intel i5 2500K 3,3 Ghz 1155Corsair Vengence memory 16GBCorsair 60GB Force 3A SSD SATAiii 6Gb/s
I have an ASUS P5E-VM HDMI mobo and running Windows 7 Professional. The mobo has a VGA and HDMI and dual monitor capabilities. I have my computer monitor on VGA and my TV on HDMI. When I have both monitor and TV connected, I lose the Windows 7 startup animation. It uses the Vista animation instead. When I have just the computer monitor alone, on VGA or HDMI, the Windows 7 animation comes back. How can I make the Windows 7 be used even if both monitor and TV are connected?
What are the cheapest Asus Mobo socket 1155 that support USB 3.0 back panel and 3.0 Mid Board for casing.Because im buying a CoolMaster 690 2 Advance with USB 3.0 Support.I think large motherboard will not fit? because my casing is mid tower right? Can you guys give me a list of compatible motherboards with prices? I think the budget for mobo is max of $170 - $180.
So, I have recently installed Windows 7 and am having problems not connecting to the wireless Internet in the house that I was able to connect to before. I have looked around for answers and haven't really got any real answers.
I currently have a pc with an Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard. Tonight I upgraded from windows XP to Windows 7 and began attempting to install previous software however it does not seem to be recognized by windows 7.
In particular the software which came with my motherboard is not able to be installed. From my searching the Asus website does not provide drivers for Windows 7 yet. Is there any way to get around this issue so that my computer will recognize my Linksys wireless card and audio devices?
I've installed the RC on my computer, everything works great except I get no sound output at all. It shows that it's connected and playing sound, I can see the green volume bars jumping around but no output. It even shows the front green jack as connected and disconnected when I take the headphones out.
I've tried the original bundled drivers with the RC, the old Vista 32bit sound driver from my mobo website, and the Realtek 2.29 driver. All have no luck at all.
I'm using the 7100 32-bit build.
System Specs are:
Asus P5WD2 Premium Mobo
Newest BIOS
Drivers as above.
Waiting for the new 2.30 to become available but apart from that does anyone else know of anything with this board?
On reading through everyone else sound problems, Asus motherboards prop up a hell of a lot! I'm not majority worried too much about the sound at the moment and I know it's an RC so can't have everything!
1st, sorry for my English, I'm french and I'm not really good in IT.I have an ASUS with an Ath�ros Wireless R9285.Since the last update, I can't connect in wifi anymore (but it's ok with the cable, and ok with my other computer).I first though it was the on/off wifi button, or the Fn/F2 command, but no. Then, I tried to connect/unconnect the card, change the power specification, try all the anti viruses I've got and make a "restauration" at a date before the update and so the issue.
I've been on to Asus tech support regarding Win 7 drivers for my motherboard (P5N32-Sli Premium) and here is the response:
We will release most drivers for Windows 7 to cover most motherboards after Win 7 is formal released. But I could not guarantee 100% that there will be some drivers for the motherboard aiming at Windows7 at present.
ASUS Customer Service Center(China)
Just thought folks should know. As to what "most motherboards" means, well I guess we'll have to wait until some time after the release, but I probably wouldn't hold my breath that it'll be this side of Christmas...but then again I could be wrong .
I have a brand new ASUS X54 C laptop. It detects the wireless network, and will connect to the network, but it shows "no internet access." When I ran the troubleshooter it said "default gateway not available." I updated Windows and my drivers, and that did not help. I had Comcast check the new router, and they said it was okay. My cell phone connects to the internet perfectly through the same wifi.I'm out of ideas. I can connect to the internet by ethernet, but that's all.
I have an Asus P5K-e/WiFi AP and am interested in installing Windows 7. I looked on Asus' support site and they dont have a wireless driver for Windows 7, only a LAN driver.
Anyone come across a wireless driver for this mobo for Windows 7?
I'm fairly new to Windows 7. Installed today, everything seems to work fine... except.. I can not find the WiFi drivers for the ASUS P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP mobo (ASUSTeK Computer Inc.).
Tried to run the setup on my old cd w/ Vista compability, but that didn't seem to work. Then I found some drivers here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-
Does anyone here know where to find the wireless driver, or when it eventually might be released?
I have wifi connection my asus laptop cannot access it when iam in my room upstairss but my ipod can ,, what shall i do to my asus laptop.. it cn access wifi when iam in the sofa but when i go up to my room no internet connection
So my girlfriends Asus has an issue where it will disconnect itself from wifi and at the same time if anything sound is running from the computer, music or video. The audio will distort and she has to restart the computer to fix it, this only lasts a short time before it happens again.She has tried updating the wifi and audio drivers and this didn't seem to help.

I need to install windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS in ASUS A42JK notebook. My backup recovery was deleted & i don't have any backup CD/DVD to re-install. I did the new installation with WIndows 7 premium 64 bit OS DVD, after completed the installtion and gets restated. It displaying the error and not booting inside. where to download the Windows 7 OS for ASUS.
After installing Windows7 Ultimate x64 on a EEE PC Asus 1215B Seashell serie, the button which toggle wifi did not work anymore, like any other keyboard function keys (less importante now). When I log on I receive a message in a popup windows which says: You must install ATK0100 driver! I had installed the P4GX before noticed the problem. I've tried to install the driver downloaded from asus support site but I receive an error message in a pop-up windows, without any clue about what the problem is. Nothing is registered in Device manager, nothing is found in Registry, no file related to atk* in system32driverstorefilerepository. It's not possible remove nor reinstall, cause nothing bad remains after my failed installations. I've tried many times, with Troubleshoot Compatibility and Run as administrator (my regular user is also an admin). After executing the driver app, one command prompt appears showing the log of the installation process, and all of sudden disappear. No control about it. It's only possible to read the upper case word FAILURE before the window close. No log is found. It works when I restore the machine to Windows 7 Starter that comes from factory. I dont know how to get the drivers inside the hidden partition.
The original OS was Windows XP 32bit SP3. I upgraded this system to Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2 with no issues.
I then went to upgrade the system to Windows 7 Premium. I chose the "Upgrade" install and not the "Clean" install. I've checked the updater to confirm that all my system information was adequate. I uninstalled the ATI Catalyst Controller, iTunes, etc. that it wanted me to. Oddly enough, the ATI Catalyst Controller was the most recent driver that supports Windows 7.
I checked online to see if the hardware was all supported by Windows 7. The Sapphire Vapor-X video card was not compatible or compatible... it simply wasn't on the list of either. The X-Fi Extreme Gamer said it was NOT compatible... yet, I had a driver for Windows 7 and the Windows 7 Application checker said that my sound card was ready for Windows 7... thus a discrepency.
I went on with the installation. I get to the last step where it resets the computer at 62% and I get a BSOD for about 1/3 of a second. It goes by too quickly for me to capture it. It then restarts the computer instantly with the result of "Upgrade was not completed successfully. Restoring prior OS yadda yadda". I've gone through this about 5 times now trying different things.. keeping the Catalyst controller installed, uninstalling the video card, removing the sound card, etc. Nothing seems to work.
It was recommended to me that I do a clean install... however, I have read that many others have done a clean install and theirs STILL doesn't get past the 62%.
Is it my hardware? Do I need to buy MORE hardware now that 7 is out that is on the compatible list?
I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and Motherboard from what I currently have.I recently purchased a GeForce GTX 680 but I am seeing minimal improvement from my previous GeForce GTX 480, and have come to the conclusion its my CPU holding me back.
Current specs - OS - Windows 7 Home CPU - Intel i7 930 @ 2.80GHz Motherboard - Gigabyte X58A-UD5
I have been told in the past I cannot replace one and not the other due to my CPU/Motherboard being 1366 pin which is no longer in make.
