That ECS P4S5A/DX board has SiS 7012 audio, but belarc is showing that Realtek AC'97 audio is installed.

Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case

Then go here to ECS http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Downloa...uID=35&LanID=9

download the SiS 7012 PCI Audio driver for XP

Hope this helps

No problem , check Device Manager - Right click My Computer / Properties / Hardware tab / Device Manager any yellow ! or ? marks showing anywhere.
Scroll to Sound,video and game controllers / expand, is Realtek AC'97 showing.

Go to Control Panel / Sound & Audio devices / double click / is anything showing as your audio device on the tabs.

One other point, where are your radio jacks, are they near your mouse and keyboard sockets, or much lower down the tower.

Also in Control panel check this
Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Properties/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected.Typically the problem will be thay something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.

Cheers

Avance AC'97 is the Realtek driver, try rolling back the driver and see what it gives you

Cheers

We tried the SiS from ECS so go here to SiS and get the SiS 7012 from them, it's under Top Downloads http://www.sis.com/download/

Hope this helps

If you have a Win XP disc, try a System File Check go to Run / type "sfc /scannow" ( without the quots and note the space after sfc ) have the XP disc available in case sfc needs to repair or replace any files. The programe will run and then close, you don't get any feedback

Hope this helps

I found this instructions when looking for an answer to this exact same problem, I followed the directions and wala! I now can see my sound card inthe greyed out areas again! Try it out fellas! Carl's solution worked like a charm for me, once I actually read it carefully enough to understand what was going on. It's truly a stroke of genius, and I strongly suggest you try his process before you go reinstalling your entire operating system. To recap in detail (for Windows XP; YMMV): 1. From Device Manager (be sure to select View/Show hidden devices), find the 'ISAPNP Read Data Port' device from the System Devices list. (Of note: once I successfully repaired this problem, this device no longer appears.) 2. Right click the ISAPNP device, and select "Update Driver" 3. Select "Install from a list or specific location" 4. Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install." 5. The step I left out on prior trials: UNSELECT "Show Compatible Hardware" 6. Be sure that "(Standard System Devices)" is selected under Manufacturer. 7. Under Model, scroll down until you see "Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator". Select this item, and select "Next>". 8. You will receive some frightening error message that you should probably disregard. 9. Complete the installation of the driver. You will see your device list magically change before your eyes. The other PNP devices will mysteriously become enabled and active. If not, restart. Thank you for posting this solution; it has saved endless hours of reinstallation, and perhaps a marriage as well.

Look at the underlined section, if you have a Win disc this may work

Hope this helps
