Just started up Dad's new PC (Well it's actually all my old athlon bits, but hey) and installed all the drivers but it's still not outputting any sound whatsoever. It's not the speakers or anything as I've tried a set of headphones which definitely work. Tried reinstalling drivers from the mobo site but nothing. Using the onboard Realtek audio at the moment and am downloading the drivers (I dunno why, just thought I'd get them again). Here is the spec:

DFI Lanparty NFII Ultra B
Athlon XP M 2400+
1gb crucial 3200
Some sort of Western Digital 80gb HDD
Super Flower PSU 520w
GeForce3 Ti200

The spec doesn't really make a difference, as I've had this exact mix of components before with no problems whatsoever.

Anyone got any sort of idea what's up?
 
Yep done ALL that obvious stuff ;)

THE BIOS! Why didn't I think of that!?? I'l bRb once I've checked that.

Oh and thanks for the quick reply, once I saw it disappear off the first page I felt a sinking feeling :(
 
:( Nope it still not worky (Was already set to "Auto", the other option was "Disabled"). It all shows up in device manager too. really want this to work especially so seeing as it worked no problems for ages when I used to use it.
 
Any more idea's? This is really starting to get to me (That stage when you just shout "WORK :|" at the screen).
 
Yep, just an MP3 (Actually it's Scuzi's voice "Hi I'm Scuzi") :D Windows doesn't want to play it's welcome or goodbye jingle either or come to think of it any of it's other composures in the "Sounds" bit of the control panel .
 
Ah it's not an MP3, it's a wav, and as I said Windows doesn't want to sing either :( so it's not codecs. Sound irritates me. Sliders are all fine, eveything is up and not muted.
 
Not even gonna try using that :p

My Dad'll just have to have no sound :D I'll buy him some sort of sound card soon. Recommend any cheap and chearful ones?
 
How can I check that? I have NO clue. I've tried looking in the BIOS for audio options and using the audio app that was installed with the drivers.
