I'm also having issues with no sound, but when I upgraded from XP to Vista on my FIC (Realtek Ac'97) mobo.. everything was fine.. then the mobo heated up and the resisters crashed.. found a MSI board cheap with AGP for my upgraded video driver and now there is no sound.. Called Microsoft.. no luck.. uninstall drivers and install the Realtek 6231.zip file, which acknowledges that the device is working and shows on the "meter" when I run Windows Media Player, but no sound.. MSI has me install a later version of the Realtek driver (tried anyway, but no luck).. So now I'm back to the latest Realtek driver, went thru the AMIBIOS and set the AC'97 to "Auto", but there is a conflict somewhere.. very frustrating..
Thanks..
