Ouch, BSOD for the loss. Hmm, maybe Sound Queen can help you out, she or he is the master.

The audio plugs are on the I/O plate. Is it still way to fix it? Really thanks so much!!

you need to check that audio is Enabled in the BIOS - all commands are done through the keyboard

as soon as the comp boots press the F2 key - the BIOS Setup menu opens
http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...tup%20menu.JPG

use right arrow key to go to Advanced menu http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...%20%20menu.JPG

down arrow key go to Peripheral Configurations Submenu -press Enter http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...%20Submenu.JPG

if Audio is Disabled use the F9 key to set defaults which is Enabled

Press F10 to Save & Exit

y to accept changes

XP will then load

Install audio driver again

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions

Hello. I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm lost & my computer's w/o sound. There is the darn yellow ? over the multimedia audio controller & I don't know what type of driver I need.

Also under the Sound & Audio Device Properties on the volume tab it says no audio devices. I thought I had a Soundblaster Audigy SB1394 installed but I can't seem to find it nor did trying to install the drivers for that render any success. Actually it said it couldn't find the device.

The computer is a home built machine I got from a friend so I'm not sure exactly what the motherboard is. I ran that Belarc's thing but it didn't mean anything to me.

I have installed the AC'97 realtek drivers as that's what it has, it gives no warning/alert message that anything could be wrong in the device manager, and i have checked in BIOS that the sound is activated and i've checked so that it has the realtek sound as standard sound...

i'm lost now, really don't know what to do now.. appreciate all the help i can get
