C-Media CMI-9880 audio problems

[Guest]

I have C-Media CMI-9880 built-in audio card on an Asus P5AD2-E motherboard.
Vista recognized the sound card and installed drivers, but I have no sound.
When I select audio devices by right-clicking the speaker icon in the
taskbar, I see that the only one listed is a Digital Output Device (SPDIF).
Clicking properties indicates that Vista is only recognizing the rear panel
optical jack. In XP, I was using the analog jacks since I don't have a
digital audio receiver.

Does anyone know how to allow Vista to pump sound to the other jacks?
C-Media's website doesn't seem to indicate a Vista driver.

I use the same motherboard - The drivers for XP work fine!

Sorry for the duplicate post and thanks for the suggestion. I am very
reluctant to use any XP drivers since my system crashed repeatedly after
upgrading to Vista. I did a fresh install after formatting and Vista runs
perfectly. The audio drivers were the only ones not recognized. I am using
another sound card until I can find some Vista drivers.

skip, i hope you're still looking here.
had the same problem, and for me the xp drivers didn't work. but then, i'm
using the x64 ver, which is otherwise problematic. you didn't say if you use
x64 also. if so, i was eventually (after a lot of googling) able to find a
driver. i don't remember where, so i just uploaded it to rapidshere, where
you can get it: http://rapidshare.de/files/36313329/Cmedia_64_WHQL_.zip

er, really hope this will help someone...
