Check in the Bios that the onboard sound is enabled.
Check in the Control panel>sounds and audio>AUDIO. make sure your sound card is selected.

Hi,
Also do you have any errors in the Device Manager (yellow !?, or red x)?
Have you installed the latest Audio Driver?
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.as...CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0&s=775
2nd on the list

I also note that you have SP3 installed.
I do not download SP3 until I know ALL drivers are working correctly.
SP3 is known to cause this issue.
Was SP3 downloaded?

I am not sure what you mean by this:

Your board comes with ON-BOARD Sound

also, i did not have internet, and thus i downloaded sp2 and sp3 onto a flash disk and installed form there. i recently did however hook up to the internet, and do have all updates

I would uninstall SP3:

Or you can try this

Then reinstall the Audio driver

Do you have any other errors in the Device Manager?
