alright dave,
no mate there is no yellow exclamation mark in device manager, all drivers are installed, but when i right click on the soundcard and select properties it says the driver is enabled but not started, as well as all the boxes are greyed out leaving me no choice, and (i forgot to mention this before im sorry) it says no mixer device, so to be honest im completely stumped and bald lol.

sorry to be a pain in the backside mate
