Need audio driver for VIA VT1708S onboard audio. In Drivers and Hardware My ASUS M4N68T-M V2 has a VIA VT1708S onboard audio. The driver I have that worked in Windows 8.1 v10_1200a won't work in 10.
- AS VIA HD audio users, you must have known that VIA only provides Windows 10 audio drivers for VIA Vinyl HD Audio Codecs, so it is evident that if your VIA HD audio is set as normal, but it is still out of work or cannot be used properly, there must be some problems with VIA HD audio drivers.
- The Windows 8.1 driver of year 2012 number 6.0.10.1200, named 'VIA High Definition Audio' works best. ATTENTION FOR SECURITY REASONS: ALWAYS DOWNLOAD DRIVERS DIRECTLY FROM MANUFACTURER OR CHIP MANUFACTURER TO AVOID TROJANS!
I'm using an ASROCK H61M-HVS with VIA HD onboard audio. Noticed that the default drivers windows installs for it are completely fucked. Enhancements don't work at all, and it keeps defaulting to headphones (front jack) even when you only have speakers plugged in.
To fix;
Right click your start button, click system, and then go to advanced system settings
Go to hardware tab and go to device installation settings
Click no, then click Never install device software, then click okay.
Open Device Manager
Go under the sound field, select VIA HD Audio, and uninstall the driver, then restart your computer.
Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 - download the .diagcab file. (Windows 10 has removed the ability to blacklist updates without using this file)
Go through the steps and choose to ignore the VIA HD Audio update that is queued up.
Congratulations, your sound drivers now work properly.
