Foxconn have no manual download for this board, and you are going to have to check the BIOS, I'll post back later tonight, when I have more details

i found the foxconn cd and downloaded the audio drivers (realtek) but still no luck. In the sound device on the audio tab it is all greyed out. Also i was told to check the bios and that said enabled.?? This is really annoying!

Go here to SiS and use this tool to check what Chipset drivers you need, accept the ActivX it's safe, it will list the SiS drivers you need and links to download and install, the chipset will be one of them. Install then restart your comp and install the audio driver from realtek

try installing this way, check path to where the downloaded driver is

SiS can be a pest, have you checked the BIOS to see if audio is Enabled, are you familiar with doing this
