sound realted - please just read

[wuzgood]

My speakers are connected perfectly fine,
I use onboard sound Avance AC'97 Audio
Windows says my sound devices and drivers are working and are up to date.

BUT NO SOUND!!!

when i play something, i can see its playing it but i hear NOTHING.
for winamp, the visualizers move but i cant hear crap.

YES my volume is up
YES everything plugged in correctly
YES i enabled the onboard sound through BIOS
JUST NO FRIKIN SOUND!!!

NO the cables aren't snipped or anything like that.
NO it is not the speakers that are ****ed up, I tried my headfones but those didnt work either. (2 different sets of headfones)

I have an IT Essentials: I certificate from Cisco. this may sound stupid and it may seem like i should deal with this but this is something rediculous. I'm at sophomore in highschool and I'm probably at the top of my class when it comes to PC's and YES i have computer courses. I just can't seem to find out what the friking problem is. I thought of everything and if you can help me, I'll be more than thankful

[krusher]

when did this occur?
what did you do prior?

[wuzgood]

ok so heres the story...

i've been using the onbaord sound for a while until i got a Sound Blaster LIVE! 5.1 Digital Sound card. The sound card isntallation never worked right so i just isntaleld the drivers through Windows XP. Recently, my sister got a new comptuer with 5.1 piece speakers but her onboard sound didnt support it so i had to give her my sound card.

after i took it out, i went back to Realtek Avance AC'97 Audio on my motherboard. It worked when i used the drivers cd my computer came with to install the sound but when i tried to get the LATEST drivers from the internet, my sound died as soon as i installed the drivers.

i'm really upset and confused.....

Have you tried removing the updated drivers and going back to your original drivers on the drivers cd your computer came with.

[wuzgood]

yea i've done basically everything... i removed, installed, removed, tried the old ones, i also went into the bios and loaded the defaults but nothing...

i'm thinking about clearing CMOS or some shet idunno

[wuzgood]

ok i'm gonna run a clean sweep of everything "sound-related" that i have installed..... i'll uninstall all that shit under device manager that stupid windows tries to handle and see wut i can do.... and yes i know wut i'm doing

thankyou to all those who tried to assist me in solving this problem

SIS 651 chipset
Motherboard: asus p4s533-mx

looking for that fabled V5.10.0.362

I've downloaded and tried three or four different versions of the realtec drivers and nothing works for me.

If someone could send me a version of V5.10.0.362 or earlier that'd be sweet.

[dude-sex]

AD1980 soundmax is the audio chipset of the p4s533 mx

Wuzgood,

I know you've uninstall and reinstall and this that and the other, have you tried to format your PC and put it back to factory settings?

I wouldn't do that as I don't see this working, format the PC and put it to it's original factory settings.
