I have installed XP Pro SP2 on it and everything works fine...except the on-board soundcard.

I have read a ton of posts in this forum regarding problems with AC97 soundcards, and I have tried a lot of different drivers - Realtek, C-Media, nothing seems to work. I've done google searches, basically I can't figure out what to do next - I'm sure its not a hardware problem. It's enabled in the BIOS (and its definately an AC97 as it says so in the bios), volume controls are all up to full, I'm sure its just a matter of finding the right driver.

i need your help ,i wanna my sound back ?
