I've removed and reloaded a variety of AC'97 drivers in regular and safe mode, disabled & re-enabled AC'97 BIOS etc but all I can load is a 'unimodem half-duplex audio device.

Emachines suggest the on board audio is u/s and since a standalone card in only $20 that's probably what I'll do. I'm just frustrated I can't make it work!

Check this out
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) from the tree / 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 > OK Reboot.
