The latest version of the Realtek HD Audio drivers is 1.73:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs Problem 2: Sorry, I do not use the WMP library at all, so I can't help you there. I can't seem to find a list of file types that WMP will monitor. It does seem logical that it would support midi files though. You don't need any 3rd party codecs to play midi files. If you have the Realtek HD Audio driver installed correctly, you should have a red speaker icon in the Notification Area (System Tray). Click the left pointing arrow to see if it is hidden. If I were you, I would FIRST UNINSTALL the Realtek item in Device Manager (*****check the box to delete driver files*****), uninstall the Realtek Driver item in Control Panel (Classic view) > Programs and Features (Windows will install generic HD audio drivers -- ignore) REBOOT Install ver. 1.73 of the Realtek drivers. (First right click and press the Unblock button, Apply and OK.) REBOOT Hopefully, now you will have the red speaker icon, (right click and select Sound Manager) and your audio performance should improve. Please post back the results. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

Thanks for your quick reply.
Well unfortunately for me, I did update the RealTek drivers the way you specified there, so that's not the issue. I really do not have a red speaker in the System Tray and I don't have any icons hidden. What does the red speaker icon launch? Can I launch it through any other means? As for the midi issue, I realize I was misleading in my post. WMP DOES play the midi files I have, but it simply refuses to organize them in the Library as "Music" - it puts them under "Other" so when I'm viewing my Music Library, they are not there. It won't let me move them and it refuses to recognize the file type as music. According to one of the Windows Help files, midi is not listed as one of its default types. While it doesn't address midi per se, it recommends downloading codecs for other audio file types and even gave a link - but that is the link I followed which had virtually nothing whatsoever for Vista. What media player do you use and which version of Vista do you have? I'm 100% sure that the "too soft" wav files issue is a problem with the wav files themselves - I have isolated quite a few "pre Vista" wav files that I have and they play LOUD and CLEAR. In case others are following this issue... Now, do you know if there is a way to download a new set of Windows System files somewhere in the Microsoft universe?

Strange that you don't have the red Realtek HD Audio Manager icon in the
Notification Area. It is also added to Control Panel (Classic view). I use Windows Media Player on Vista Ultimate, but I do not use the library so I have no idea what functionality it provides. I notice a great variation in the loudness of .wav files from various sources, but the Vista native .wav file are not objectionably soft for me. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

I found one file associated with the red speaker icon (RtHDVCpl.exe) and it
exists both in my folder where I downloaded the codec as well as in the \windows folder where the installation of the updated driver placed it. However, there is no mention of the RT HD Audio Manager anywhere in my Control Panel, Sys Tray, installed Programs, or anywhere. Is it possible that module only exists for folks running Vista 64-bit? Likewise, on the sound level issue, is it possible the Vista native .wav files are only objectionable for folks running Vista 32-bit? I noticed elsewhere that someone else running 32-bit did not have the red speaker. Do you know? Or can you point me in a direction to find out? I can't find anything on RealTek's site or in Microsoft's Knowledge Base.

Thanks Cal Bear. I actually had a typo in my specs way up there - I have
1.73 installed and I did do a full uninstall and reinstall. But I'll be sure to continue doing it that way on each subsequent update. One final request if you don't mind and then I'll "wav" bye bye: You said you are running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista - is this on one machine and if so do they share one set of native Vista .wav files? Would you mind comparing the Modified Dates and Bit Rates for those against my list below? And if they are on two different machines OR if they use different sets of ..wav files, would you mind comparing each set against my list? Mine are 5 Speech related .wavs 11/2/2006 8:34AM at 1411kbps 37 system sound .wavs 10/19/2006 9:11PM at 1411kbps 1 wmapro .wav 9/26/2006 9:36PM at 2822kbps 1 system sound .wav 9/18/2006 5:45PM at 352kbps 2 other sound .wavs 9/18/2006 5:32PM at 1536kbps I surely would appreciate this. Thanks again.

I left my computer on (Windows Vista) overnight. Forgot about it and my kids had gotten a hold of it. So when I was trying to get my sound back by going thru the control panel: etc., etc.,etc., I didn't even realize they had disable my speakers. Thanks alot, now I have my computer back the way it should be and no more forgetting to shut her down. I believe the kids didn't know how to get it back on.
