HOWEVER. that is not the issue in entirity. My sound drivers do not read, stating there are mixer issues or lack of mixxers being the issue. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them and it fixed the problem. however this was only a temporary fix, because when the computer restarted at some point. The issue reappeared. So i dont have working sound for Video Games, Audio files such as MP3's or Aol Instant Messenger. the system sounds still work though.

I mean i guess i can spend the rest of my life just uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but id rather find out a way to make it a permanent fix.


i installed service pack for Windows XP, and currently about to reinstall the sound drivers once again.

If anyone has any useful information to put forth. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case

Acording to ASUS the sound is a Realtek ALC850, a new driver just realeased, go here to get updated driver http://w3serv.realtek.com.tw/downloa...&Software=True

Hope this helps
