I've been using a USB soundcard since i gave up on trying to get anything out of the fit-pc3, so i know my speakers work just fine.

cheers,

To see if this a hardware problem, can you please run a live version of Ubuntu or Linux Mint and try to get analog audio output?

PS. Are all of the Fit-PC3 Windows 7 drivers from the Compulab's website were installed. If you use drivers downloaded from other sources then Compulab, please purge them and install the Compulab's ones

I found a fix for this!

Suspecting that the only available audio device "Realtek Digital Output" only outputs data and not soundwaves I googled "Realtek Digital Output no sound windows 7" and found a lot of forum posts from people who had problems with Realtek audio cards and their drivers. Turns out there is something called "front panel jack detection" that has to be deactivated in the Realtek HD Audio manager for analog output to be activated. The Connector Settings is located in the upper left corner of The Realtek HD Audio manager which is located among the hidden system tray icons as an orange speaker icon.

The solution was here:

Not so fast :(
On booting my computer today the sound is gone. Level meters are jumping up and down to show that Spotify is playing sound but I hear nothing again. I have tried all possible configurations of checking and unchecking boxes in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.

Oh well...

Please run regedit.exe with an Administrator privileges, and look for a ForceDisableJD string. Change the value of it to a 01

Ops! Looks like this thread has been hijacked by someone. Just wanted to say that I have sound now. I dont know why but it works so I guess the solution I posted earlier in this thread fixed it although I cant say fore sure.
