Did you check your bios? Is your bios up to date?

Here's a weird one...

I've just installed a new Asus A8V-MX motherboard which has a Realtec ALC653
chip on board for sound. I've installed the latest Realtek drivers, and the
sound has worked. But only until I rebooted the computer; then sound was
gone. I've repeated this several times in my testing... if I go into Device
Manager and uninstall the driver, then do a quick hardware scan; Windows
resets the sound hardware with the exact same driver and the sound once again
works... until the next time I reboot.

In the Sounds and Audio devices Control Panel Applet it shows the Realtek
card when it is working, and "No Audio Device" when it isn't. And on that
applets 'Audio' tab, it stops showing the Realtek chip as being available
when it isn't working.

It is very strange that I can get it to work, but every time I reboot,
Windows stops recognizing it as an audio device. I've logged the boot
process, and the driver is being loaded properly during bootup. There are no
conflicts with any other devices, the driver seems to be working properly,
etc. The problem seems to be that when I reboot, Windows forgets that it is
there or that it is an audio device.

Any thoughts??
