Tried umpteen ac97 driver versions
Updated the chipset
Tried other sound drivers (realtek and SIS)

Motherboard Name: Unknown

Have a look at these 2 possibilities
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / Services / scroll to Windows audio - should be set to Automatic
Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Properties/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.
