I have downloaded all the three package and tried in Windows 7, but received a prompt same as earlier version when installing HDMI_R218 package.
“No driver was supported in this driver package.”
Sunit Borah, which is your system motherboard?
i installed windows 7 last month and i have been having problems with sound (audio). can u pls help me get solution to that pls.
thanks, expecting a prompt response
@James
Have you installed audio drivers?
i have installed the driver but i still hear no sound
i have just install windows 7ultimate trial version for 30 days.but plz tell me from where i can get the drivers[mother bord] for this
You should get theme at your motherboard manufacture’s site.
Just downloaded the driver linked on this site but still i get no sound. Running Windows 7. Motherboard = Asus M3N78. Downloaded all the possible drivers from asus’s support download driver page but none of them work. Neither does the one linked on this site.
If your motherboard is associated with HD driver, then this driver should work fine.
Driver and application work acceptable on Win 7 Ult,..however, sound quality is poor,. I have a Logitech Z5500 speaker set and It sounded much better under the same realtek sound driver for vista. Voice and trebles sound metalic and not clear and strong as it used to be.
It’s a shame,.. hope they release an improved version soon. On the other hand,.. windows 7 is just lovely. simple, fast and beautiful.
