and I think the driver of your saying was updated. Patch as well as Uni Pack.

Have you Disabled On-board sound in the BIOS?

Try updating the driver this way

You need to create a folder to download the files to.
Create the folder in "my documents", and call it "sound"
Once downloaded go to that folder, find the zip file, right click and click extract to here.

When the files are extracted. Go to "Control Panel", then "System" then "Hardware", then "Device manager.
Then go down to "sounds and video game controllers"
Click the + sign to expand.
Then right click on "Realtek AC97 Audio" (or whatever might be yellow flagged)
Then click "update driver"
Then click "install from a list or specific location(advanced)"
Then check "search for the best driver in these locations"
Uncheck the box that says "search removable media(floppy,cd-rom)
Then check the box that says "include this location in the search"
Then click browse
Then navigate into "my documents" and to the "sound folder you created"
Then navigate from that folder to whichever folder that has drivers files for your particular operating system.
In your case there will be folders labeled "WIN2000", WIN98SE, WINME, and WINXP
Choose the folder that your operating system is.
