You should be able to download a Windows 7 driver for your Realtek card from this URL:

As Clifford says, more information will help us help you a great deal Which sound card or motherboard (if it's an onboard sound card) do you have?

Im sorry, Its an abit kv7...so its onboard sound. i have already tried the driver from their site. i also tried running it in compatability mode for vista. and still no go.

Forgive me if I am wrong but I did not see any drivers for Vista at abit.com. Vista compatibility may not work with XP drivers.

Try this download for Vista support - VIA Vinyl Audio driver - Multilingual Ver7.00b

thank you, i will give that driver a shot. But by their site i ment realtek's
