New build - slight sound problem

    I've just completed a new build and everything is going fine apart from one rather irritating problem with the sound. I can hear sound no problem. Unfortunately, each time I restart the computer (I'm still in the process of installing programs from my old PC, so that means restarting quite often) I'm prompted on numerous occasions to install audio device on high definition bus. I did a bit of searching and it looks like this is a realtek driver. I've installed this since yet each time I switch on the PC it detects the HD Audio device hardware and prompts me numerous times to run through the windows install wizard. Actually, it must be 4 times because I have 4 instances on my device manager.




    Come to think of it, I have already installed the sound driver that came with the mobo (Asus P7H55) driver disk. This was a VIA HD Audio Adeck (not realtek), which is leaving me mightily confused.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Are the chipset drivers installed from disk or latest from the net?
    What gfx card you got as it could be the hd audio from that,again drivers upto date?

    Also goto Asus webby and try there realtek drivers for your board.At least this well tell you if its meant to be realtek or not.

    All drivers I've installed are those supplied with the components. The gpu is a GTX 460. Finally, as far as I can determine, this is a known problem - it's just that the solutions don't work for everybody, me included. I'm going back to install older VIA drivers. (I've found out that the Realtek thing was a bit of a red herring and I should stick with VIA.)
