Heh, this is starting to sound like the problem I have with my older system after I reformated it, reinstalled everything and ended up with no sound.  Worst with mine is the device manager keeps telling me there's no sound device installed.  Family's been making use of it WITHOUT sound(it's in bad need of a professional cleaning anyway..I've used canned air a couple times now on it and yet the temp STILL climbs).  Figure it's due a maintenace visit whenever the families willing to part with it for a few days...lol.  (Yeah, I KNOW Azis...it's junk only good for a scrap heap, but hey, if ya can't afford a NEW one, ya make do with the old........course my gaming computer is obsolete too, but mehh )

If you want to catch me on windows messenger I can have a look. Otherwise read ur manual for your MB, or figure out how to hold your tongue just right.

Hey snoop pup  Figures your were lurkin round with puter probs goin on  <)

At this point I don't know what to say. 

Learn about your device manager, uninstall the sound device and when windows restarts it should find the device and reinstall the drivers.

This is a common problem and that usually fixes it.

Snoopy, find the device drivers for your motherboard, they evidently have not been installed.
The manufacturer supplies these free for download on their website.

Hope this helps.

well i still find nothing, if i buy a new sound card will that fix the problem?

[Azis]

If your on board sound is disabled then a seperate sound card likely will give you sound. If it is NOT disabled, but just not functioning, then another sound card will only complicate the issue.

Did you purchase your motherboard as a separate individual unit? It has a Manual with ALL you need to know about making the thing work!

I can do a remote with you on MSN messenger and look/show you some things in the device manager. So much easier than trying to exchange text on a message board.

asis121hotmail.com is my MSN and I am always online.

[Man53]

haha. What was it Az?

I sense much XP in you. XP leads to bluescreen, bluescreen leads to downtime, downtime leads to suffering. XP is the path to the darkside. Powerful UNIX is.
