Windows XP SP3
RealTek onboard audio

Problem: After reboot microphone is not detected unless I unplug it and plug it back in again.

Background:  I switched from an older PC to one using this MSI MB.  This mic (headset) worked flawlessly on the previous system. 

I suspect there is a glitch in the driver, however, I hope there is a resolution.  It is not easy to crawl into the space behind my computer to have to unplug and plug the mic back in after every reboot.  Very annoying.

TIA for resolution

did you do a fresh install of windows on a hard drive or used a hard drive with windows already on it? (never put a hard drive out of another machine with windows on it on a new machine the chipsets wont match and will cause problems!)

Fresh machine, fresh install. 


also, i have google'd around a bit and found other people with the same problem with realtek onboard sound.  never a solution.  just orphaned posts on other forums.

ok get some 95% alcahol (if you cant get that get some lighter fluid) to clean your microphone plug a few times and see if it stops doing it! (may just be dirt or grease on the plug effecting the connection)

if it still doesnt work uninstall the audio drivers and reinstall a fresh copy of them to make all settings and regesterys default again.

if this still doesnt fix the problem or it does please let me know by posting!

Bumping an old thread here because my issue was never resolved.

I have to reboot a lot and it is highly impractical to have to crawl back in behind the PC and unplug and plug the mic after every reboot.  I tried an audio extension cord so I could unplug and plug from atop, however, it only detects mic if the jack on the back of the pc is directly manipulated each time.

Is there any trick to force the audio driver to detect the mic?  how about a mic present flag in the registry or software somewhere??

 What drivers are you using for the Realtek sound? From MB CD, download from MSI, download from Realtek?
