hi again Nicholas, It says Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 2. I have looked this up on Google and it is definitely 32 bit. I opened the 32 driver pack, selected the installshield wizard and it installed o.k. and told me to reboot. When I restarted the SoundMAX icon appeared on the task bar, for the first time in ages, in Device Manager the SoundMAX HD integrated Audio is there, enabled and working properly and in Control Panel, Add/Remve program, the SounMAX Program appeared. This is all very good. This is the bad news: In Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices on the Volume Tab it still states: No Audio Device and everything is faded out, i.e. the volume slider and mute control. On the hardware tab the SoundMAX integrated is there, enabled and working properly. If I try to play Windows Media Player or iTunes it will not play, saying Audio Device missing. We have gone a long way to solving this problem and are nearly there, but something is not right still. Have you any idea what it can be Nicholas? Thank you again.
Regards tech_no
Just looked at BIOS and it states: HD Audio Integrated enabled.
