ok

just had a fresh install of windows - i have a gigabyte motherboard with onboard sound (no card).

I installed the drivers that were on the motherboard cd and whihc worked with previous installs of windows.

No sound, Error ID = 0xC00D11BA, Condition ID = 0x00000000.

I tried updating my realtek sound drivers but i couldnt install them - after disabling and uninstalling the windows UAA driver that was screwing thigns up i was able to install the latest drivers for my sound.

Still doesnt work.

Dowloaded a fresh install of direct x9 from microsoft - didnt work

*EDIT*

ok, after looking at it i dont think my driver was updated after all despite the install going ok - dunno why this has happened
