firstly this is my first post so sorry if i sound noob.

ok so i installed windows 8 consumer preview build 8250 x64 last night. everything seems to be working correctly other than my sound. i am using VT1708s by via embedded in a asus m5a78l-m/USB3 motherboard now the problem is the sound is working fine via my HDMI connection but via the 3.5 mm jack the sound is all strange and un-usable its like according to my friend it sounded like it thought it was digital when it is analogue.

i have tried installed the windows 7 x64 driver from both asus and VIA but it didnt work still the same problem. i had to run it in compatibility mode.

please help me fix this thanks :D

I'm in the same boat with my board....only difference is my sound works with the windows built in driver but I can't get the VIA driver to load at all.

The pains of a pre-pre release I reckon.

How would I at least get the Windows built in driver to work then? I'm having this problem as well, but a temporary solution is better than no solution at all.

A more detailed set of directions may be in order but perhaps someone can work it out?

Compatibility mode and hand change the driver. Worked for Johner.
Yes. I installed it in compatibility mode, then opened up Device Manager and uninstalled it. For some reason, that made the default Microsoft HD Audio drivers read my 3.5mm speakers.

Glorious Analog Sound. lol

I have tried this, but the speakers just go again when I roll back the driver.

The strange thing is, I've been using Win8 for months without a problem, but I had to re-install it and now there's this problem :(.

Has anyone found a fix?
