• prakash1981 Build 5308: No audio, Intel High Def Audio, D915PBL mobo

  I am unable to get sound with build 5308 using the onboard Realtek High Definition Audio on my Intel D915PBL mainboard.

Media Player gives an odd msg. that another program or operating system is having problems and isn't able to communicate back to the player. I D ...Show All

Unfortunately some of the simplest, most innocuous, programs executed seem to require privilege elevation in Vista. This is absolutely no good for a trusted logon script run by hundreds of users every day which should require no user interaction.
