It works, it doesn't work. It is completely broken now. I have no sound on my pc. I uninstalled the realtek sound drivers, reinstalled them, nothing. Tried older versions, nothing worked. So I ordered a sound card. It will be here tomorrow. Hopefully it will work!! Hunter1948 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work fine, just run at x1 speeds. Same with a PCIe x4. It's the fingers on the card will just use what it needs from the slots. A x16 card will work in an x8 slot, but will be limited to x8 speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

This will keep windows update from re-downloading the drivers for your onboard sound. It might of been just a glitch in your Bios Firmware. Did you try to update your Bios? The B450 boards had multiple Bios updates and 1 that makes the 3rd gen Ryzen chips work with a B450. The latest Bios update for that board is Version 2202 and it was just updated 2020/07/17. 1 of the many "fixes" included in the update is "Fixed HDMI and DP sound issue". They had 16 Bios updates for that paticular board since it was released. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF-B450-PLUS-GAMING/HelpDesk_BIOS/ Never EVER use any Realtek sound drivers that are not on your motherboards support site. Realtek drivers have always been a pain in the ass because once you install 1, it will rite over and replace the old driver but it leaves all of the old crap in your registry. Only way that I have found to fix that problem is to either spend many many hours sorting through the registry and deleting all entries and files related to Realtek (most of the time you will not get all of it) or Format and reinstall windows. With Realtek drivers my rule of thumb is "If it works DO NOT UPDATE IT!" lol Angelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If it's not the correct one it won't even try to install it. However Once you install a New bios update you can not install a slightly Older Bios update without re-installing the original bios without bricking the motherboard. That's why they still have the OEM or Original Bios available for download. Some motherboards have Dual Bios which you can switch between to recover from a bad update or corrupt bios due to overvolting components such as the CPU/NB which is needed for increased system stability while overclocking above a certain speeds. On pre UEFI motherboards you could accidentally install the wrong bios as long as it was made for that bios manufacturer such as AMI (American Megatrends) or Award Modular or Award Medallion. Installing the wrong bios update on a Pre UEFI motherboard would corrupt the Bios and basically brick the motherboard unless you were to send it to the manufacturer and have them reprogram or replace the bios chip. A bios chip is basically a simple programmable EEPROM with several layers similar to what is in most modern TVs.
