I have installed the AC'97 realtek drivers as that's what it has, it gives no warning/alert message that anything could be wrong in the device manager, and i have checked in BIOS that the sound is activated and i've checked so that it has the realtek sound as standard sound...

i'm lost now, really don't know what to do now.. appreciate all the help i can get
