Sounds like a conflict between onboard and sound card audio, you will need to check that onboard is [Disabled] in the BIOS. All commands are done using the keyboard

Press <Delete> at Startup to enter BIOS
Main menu open http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...aim%20menu.JPG

go to Advanced menu
http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...20Advanced.JPG

go to PCI Configuration - press Enter

go down to Onboard PCI Devices - Press Enter
http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...%20Control.JPG

go to Onboard AC97 Audio
Onboard AC97 should be [Disabled] - on right in Item specific Help it should show how to change - it should be Enter

Press F10 to Save & Exit
y to changes

Windows will then load

check your audio, and if necessary install sound card driver again

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions
