Well at least my first build actually works! I finally magaged to install my old copy of Windows Xp Pro after a lot of hair pulling and profanities.

However, I don't seem to be able to get it to produce any sound and it keeps asking for a soundcard.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions then by all means let me know.

I must say it's a quiet system..even with the two case fans, processor fan and PSU fan running it's extremely quiet and I'm well impressed with the Akasa Raptor case. Very good value for money...looks good, well made and everything fits nicely!
 
if your trying to use the motherboards onboard sound chip, pop the cd in that came with the board and install them.

And I hope you have installed the motherboard drivers, graphics drivers too.

Yep done that..I expected it to sort it but it didn't. However, I've just thought, I didn't restart so I may need to, to get the job done properly!
 
is the sound chip enabled in the bios, is there a yellow triangle next to it in device manager.

I'll look at that tomorrow as I've just switched it off and swapped the monitor over so that I could come on here.

What should I be looking for with regard to yellow triangle?
