Here you go: I attached 2 because I had to scroll down

**BCCOMP** · 12-12-2008, 09:31 PM

Thanks for the screenshots.
It does appear thet everything is installed.
Do you have a speaker Icon in the lower right corner of your desktop?
If so Left click on it and see if it is muted and the volume bar is above midrange.
Bill

Mr_Frustrated · 12-12-2008, 09:35 PM

Yeh that was the first thing I tryed, not muted and is above mid range

**BCCOMP** · 12-12-2008, 09:51 PM

Shut down and reboot the PC.
Enter the BIOS and see if ON-Baord Audio (AC97) is Enabled.
Check you speaker connections and make sure the connection is seated in the proper connector and your Speaker Power is on.

Does the Audio Device show up in Sound and Audio in your Control Panel under Volume?
Similar to this (See attachment circled in red). Yours may say AC97.

Thanks,
Bill

Mr_Frustrated · 12-12-2008, 10:14 PM

Yeh everything in the bios is set to enabled and heres a screenshot of my devices.

**BCCOMP** · 12-12-2008, 10:19 PM

Do you get any type of sound from playing a CD or using any other program?
Was XP SP2 installed before you updated to XP SP3?
Bill

Mr_Frustrated · 12-12-2008, 10:24 PM

No if I play windows media player or itunes no sound plays, cant play music cdz either.

No I bought XP Professional with SP3 already on it

I had a recent problem today with My XFI Extreme Gamer card with no sound. I just went in to the device manager and uninstalled the drivers for the onboard sound and the speakers began to work fine. Too many drivers conflicting with eachother. All good now.

Hi,
Go into ADD/Remove programs
Uninstall your sound driver/program if there
Do this also in your Device Manager (right click on Vinyl AC97.....uninstall)
Reboot the PC.
If the new Hardware wizard appears hit cancel.

Go to this site and download the Audio Driver:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...ProductID=1777
Install this driver.
Let me know how you make out.
Thanks,
Bill

Mr_Frustrated · 12-12-2008, 10:35 PM
