[SOLVED] No sound after Reformat..

So I reformatted my custom build the other day. I get everything up and running, I put my mobo driver cd in, I dl my vid card drivers, I download everything and everything is running fine, but I have no sound.

This puzzles me because I'm using onboard sound. Realtek. So..for me to not have sound is kind of odd, when I did 2 hours before I reformatted. I have gone to both gigabytes and Realtek's sites and downloaded the newest ver. of my driver and still nothing.

Here is my set up.

Gigabyte GA-P35C-D53R rev 1
2gb mushkin ram
e6700 proc
74gb raptor hd
250gb wd hd
9800gtx vc
600w psu

I have no idea what the problem is. I consider myself to be a veteran on computer building and this is just astonishing



and yes all the cables are plugged in and the volume is NOT set to mute.

Re: No sound after Reformat..

Hello...
Just to be sure, got to Control Panel and check your Sound and Audio options...
What is set as default under Playback devices???

Keep us posted...

Re: No sound after Reformat..

unless you have surrond sound speakers you will have to go to the Realtek configuration and choose Desktop speakers. Not HD.
