Windows 7:can hear test tones, but not music
I can't hear any music or dialogue when using Windows 7 with media player/vlc player/media monkey. However, I can hear the test tones when using the speaker set-up function on Windows 7. Any ideas?
I'm using: EVGA 630i m.board, 2x2gb ocz ram, onboard sound and video, Windows 7 32-bit. |

I did, Hi Ho.
Everything in the volume mixer and sound mixer screens is enabled and at max volume. It's on one of those screens that I found a TEST button. I clicked it and was able to clearly hear the test tones. That's kinda why I'm really miffed as that proves the connection to my stereo is good etc. Last edited by pally01; 02-10-2009 at 06:08 AM. |

I would try reinstalling the sound card drivers. Try to see if there are any updated drivers available.
I had a problem with Reaper (audio editing program) not playing back any tracks while everything else had sound and I ended up reinstalling the sound card drivers and it fixed the problem. I am also running Windows 7. |

I'll give that a try when I get home tonight. I'd really like to be able to give the audio playback functions of Windows 7 a try. I read that the sound is much better than previous versions of Windows.

Update: I managed to get the sound going. I had to disable HDMI audio in the BIOS
