Default no sound on vista

i just installed vista today and for some reason I am getting no sound even though the device appears to be installed and working according to windows, I can see the sound level moving on the volume bar bit but still no sound coming out my headphones / speakers

its the onboard sound of the DFI X48 board im using, the driver when I installed it from the motherboard cd said it was a Realtek High Definition audio device (R1.79)

any suggestions?

suggestions:

-look for the latest drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's site
-make sure your headphones are plugged firmly into the correct jack on the sound card/onboard (green one)
- make sure that your Computer recognizes on board as your main audio output device
- be sure that the main Windows volumes are not muted, and are at a decent level...

the onboard sound isnt great on this mobo and be quieter than a sound blaster card. i had this problem with onboard sound before where i installed vista sound drivers, but when my pc restarts windows reinstalls their drivers and they dont work at all. I cannot remember how i fixed this though, i know it was something simple
