Switching to On-Board Audio

bdm56 · 04-10-2008, 12:16 PM

I just had to take out my sound card in order to plug in another pci device due to running out of space. How do I get the sound working again? I've got the speakers hooked up to my motherboard audio but I'm getting nothing.

what does your device manager say about your audio?

if this is a branded computer, try going to the manufacturers website and download the latest drivers.

What should I look at specifically on the device manager?

And this is a computer I built myself. Its an asus motherboard and was a Creative Audigy sound card.

you look in the device manager under audo or sounds. I am not using a windows computer at this time so I cannot give the exact wording.

Ok, what I have is "Sound, video and game controllers", thats the only thing that mentions audio in the device manager. Under that is:

ATI T200 Unified AVStream Driver
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device
Standard Game Port
Video Codecs

There are no alerts or anything.

In the Control Panel/ Sounds and Audio Devices it says I have no Audio Playback devices.

Have you checked that you have your onboard sound enabled in your BIOS?
