that is no answer to my Q : did you install the mobo drivers ?

Thanks. nobus.

I have a CD called P5GD1-VM series (Intel 915 Chipset support CD Rev.83.06).
I think I installed it.

Is this the one you talked about?

Can I reinstall it again?

Thanks,

yes and yes.
alternatively, you can look on the asus site for upgraded drivers :
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=P5GD1-VM&SLanguage=en-us

Thanks. nobus.

Could you please give me some explanation?

If you notice my hardware configuration, I did not but Sound Card. Does this belong Audio?

>>   Integrated 6-channel High Definition Audio << this tells me you have an integrated sound card on your mobo. You can verify it easily with the 3 couloured input jacks : black, red and green

Thanks a lot.
I will re-install most recent driver Tonight.

Hello, nobus,

Do I need to reinsall all drivers such as BIOS, AUDIO etc.? or only update AUDIO?

I also noticed there is a item under Utitliy list:

ACPI driver for ATK 0110 virtual device

Do you know what is virtual device? Is this related with Virutal PC or VMWare things?

Thanks.

if the other drivers (like chipset) ere installed correctly, you need only to update the audio section
it is an ACPI driver for AI boost from ASUS; you find the driver for the tool here :  http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=P5GD1-VM&SLanguage=en-us

Hello, nobus,

I tried to install a new VMWare instance, I still got the same message:( after I updated the Audio driver from ASUS website.)

The default sound device cannot be opened: a device ID has been used is out of range for your system.
Virtual device sound will start disconnected.

I tried to look at in BIOS when OS started, I can not find anything related with the integrated channel-6 high definition audio.
I checked on Advanced Tab> Chipset, Onboard Devices Configuration, PCIPnp etc. I did not see anything related with Audio.

Can you please give me some help on this?

I am thinking about to buy a new sound card instead of using the integrated audio.

Thanks

did you install the chipset drivers?

Thanks nobus.

I am working on your suggestion right now. I wll also look at the BIOS to see if AUDIO setup enabled or not.
Will let you know soon.

i would DISable the azalia controller and test

Thanks. nobus.

I fixed this issue. I checked BIOS and enabled the two settings with Audio.
The I removed the audio driver and reinstalled again.

Now it is working.
Thanks.

ok - glad you've got it working
