The sound no longer works.

XP can't see the mobo sound device in device manager.

I tried updating the mobo sound driver and chipset driver, just in case XP needs this in order to see the mobo's sound device.

I confirmed that the mobo bios has sound system **enabled**. I checked this, and even booted, disabled it, and rebooted and enabled it.

Belarc shows on multimedia devices, and does not list a sound device in the mobo section.

I'm ready to just disable the Intel mobo sound device, and just install a separate sound card.

But -- if you can advise me, I'll appreciate it!

Did you get drivers from here
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...4&submit=Go%21
when you installed the Intel Software Installation Utility did you Restart your comp, then install the audio driver.
check this
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.
Also look at this
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply > click Start > Reboot
Hope this helps
