Foxconn audio driver Realtek AC97 problems [solved]

Submitted by Nik on 20 December, 2008

Recently I formatted a system. The system specifications where nice though it had a Foxconn motherboard.

I don't know if you are aware of that company but I wasn't.

So after installing Windows Xp with Service pack 3 integrated.

After the installation, windows did not recognize the onboard audio device. The specific Foxconn motherboard uses a Realtek chip with AC97 high definition audio.

So I tried everything, re-install, format and install but that did not solve it.

I installed UAA windows drivers but neither that solve the problem.

The sound device was unknown and windows device manager showed it with questionmark.

So I tried again with something I read on a forum. I downloaded the Realtek AC97 drivers from the Realtek website.

Then installed them, rebooted and TADA!! there was sound!

Keep in mind that before that I downloaded the drivers that where on Foxconn's website.

Conclusion: Don't buy Foxconn motherboard :-)
