Tell us results after that.

I cant even access those options, it says I dont have the hardware installed.

Here is a pic, sorry for the low quality.

No other Ideas anyone?

My computer is usless without sound!

Its getting me down a bit, seen as I spent over a month building this system. I didnt expect problems when I actually had everything!

I was disappointed that the DS3L didn't have RAID support..

But I had a bit of success with my overclock. I will post later tonight.

Well, you could always go down to your local goodwill or salvation army and pick up a sound card for $3... try it out and see if it works any better. The only other thing I can think of is reinstalling Windows. Or google than error message you get about mixers not being available, see if someone else had the same problem.

Yeah... I already have a sata raid PCI card ($30), and it works fine enough to where I don't need onboard raid. Otherwise I would have bought the DS3R.

Hey guys, I'm having weird issues with my PS/2 ports. After about 20-30 minutes of use, they simply stop responding. I know it is the PS/2 ports, because I've unplugged my mouse from the USB->PS/2 converter and plugged it into a USB port and it works fine. I had updated to BIOS F6, but that caused me to see the problem for the first time, so I rolled back to F3, but the issue recurrs.

I can't say this 100%, but it seems like the issue has always occured when I'm playing TF2. Is this a possible cause? Or is this something MOBO related?

If it's only in TF2, then I would say it's a software error. Not sure what kind of software error would cause that, but some googling might give you an answer. If it's in more than one app, it's likely a mobo problem, and you should RMA your board. My two cents.

Dang, that's a nice OC for that Q6600... is it a G0?

Hi Dom_sufc 1st sorry for my bad english, well as you can see i own the same board and i already fix the sound issue, not sure if it's the exact same issue but sounds identical to mine, if you use the driver that came with the motherboard CD then is the same issue, it seems that this driver is messed. i don't know what but it didn'd work for me so this is what i do:

1 uninstall the realtek sound driver then reboot.

2 install microsoft HD Audio bus, you´ll need XP CD in you tray.

3 go to realtek website & download the latest driver & just intall it. That's all ! your sound now must be working if it's not pm me.

Realtek HD Audio Driver:

I have a quick question for someone... What is the default voltage for memory on this board?

All it shows is default and then +.1 +.2 ect...

It's the same for all of the GA-P35-DS3x boards i believe, but i figured i could ask here.
