I was wondering is there a way around this?

Long Story Short:
I Downloaded A RealTek AC97 Driver But I Still Can't Play Sound And I Don't Know How To Get Pass The Need For A CD.

Hi, I'm having the same trouble with no sound on the multimedia.
I've just had to re-install windows, overwriting the old one.
Only it hasn't installed the multimedia sound device and the 'belarc download' tells me there's no multimedia installed.
I've tried some of the above solutions, and 'maxdata' have gone bust, so no joy there.
I've got as far as figuring out, the driver I need could be on the 'Asus' website, but I can't find the relevant one.

Please help.
