Ok, more on my sound drivers basically
I've used about 9 different method's I have found around forums, to installing the PNP enumerator to just uninstalling everything and letting windows put it its "best" drivers.
None of this has done any good, but I have discovered an intesting piece of info...
DXDIAG can test the sound card, and it works in music... not sound, sound claims there isn't a driver
In the Audio Devices list, all the drivers show up and "are working properly."
Yet, none can be selected for windows audio
