Sound card problem - Plz help

[junior]

Hello All,

I initially had a ISA sound card in my PC and I had problems with that. I changed that with a PCI sound card assuming that the ISA sound card has died. but again I am having a major problem with the PCI sound card of my PC. I have just now installed a PCI sound card at the second PCI slot (started the count frm display slot). I did all kinda of manipulations like moving the card to another slot, removing the device, uninstalling the device driver and even re-installed the OS, but still the sound card problem remains.

The device manager shows up as device installed and drivers installed and all's wroking fine, with no conflicts and all, but when i click the hardward and see the properties page its shows up the msg

"Driver is enabled but not functioning properly".

In the control panel under the audio devices it says there is no audio attached.
I have done all sort of things but I am unable to make the PCI sound card work.

Here's everest report for my system.

P.S: I initially had a ISA sound card which I removed frm ISA slot but I cudn't see anything which needed to be changed in the BIOS.

I came across this problem many times, the only way to resolve it is to force them to load.
Sounds crazy I know but it works,when it comes up with found new hardware and you don't have the driver for it put in different versions of the windows you are using for it to search.
I also let it search disks that are embedded, it takes a bit of time but it goes just let it keep searching the different disks.
I never throw away old operating systems as they often boot up when others won't.
Just forced a msi km2m combo ms- 6738.
No audio device.
Just kept hardware update wizard going for 20 mins just kept changing to different disks and lo up came audio driver realtek ac 97 audio.
It also works on vga drivers as well.
I HOPE THIS HELPS.JUST TRY IT.
Just try any disk which might have it on you'll be suprised!!!
