WinXP SP@ blew out my sound!

Bald E. Guy · 05-17-2007, 11:49 PM

Updated XP SP1a on MS update to SP2. After reboot no sound. I have an Audigy sound card installed. Creative test failed as drivers for Wave,MIDI,Mixer,DirectSound & Mixer Settings Check are gone. Went to motherboard homesite,got audio drv, no avail. Been trying stuff for 3 days,now including Gateway & Microsoft techs. All are stumped!
Reformatted 4x's, updated drv.s, extracted to C;Cabs, uninstalled, re-installed Audigy, took card out,couldn't get onboard sound. What is going on here? SP2 has pooped on my joy! Can anybody help out there?
Have:
OS=WinXP Home Ed.
System=AWARD
System Board=Foxconn 661 MXPro with SIS661 chipset/ Socket 478
BIOS=Phoenix Tech. v.2.2
Processor=Intel~3082 Mhz.
RAM=1 Gb. DDR
Creative Audigy Sound Card
Nvidea e-GeForce FX 5500 256 Mb. AGP
Thanks people,

Have you tried wiping the hard disk, reset BIOS to default settings, clean install of Windows w/SP1 with Audigy card in slot, then update to SP2, install motherboard drivers, then install sound drivers, in that order? If so, and still no joy, then you may have a hardware problem, probably with the board.
