I've got Windows 7 installed on an Eee PC 900 and for the most part it runs pretty damn well, but I cannot get the audio to work for the life of me. I've installed the ASUS ACPI driver, then the Realtek drivers under XP-compatibility mode as instructed by a dozen Google searches on the subject and still cannot get it to work. The Device Manager doesn't even indicate there is sound hardware available. The video, WLAN, and camera all work great. Has anyone else run into this issue?
 
Some audio devices have other bridge devices or bus devices that need to be installed before they even show up as an uninstalled item.

Do you have anything in Device Manager that is not installed? Also, check to make sure audio is enabled in the bios.
 
Audio is enabled on the BIOS and there are no unknown devices showing up in the Device Manager. I'm wondering if the onboard audio is faulty.
 
It's definitely a hardware issue. I just installed W7 on another one of these things, exact same model, and the audio worked without having to install anything.
 
I have Windows 7 installed on my son's 900HA, and the audio works no problems at all.
