"No Audio Device" after reformatting for a new HD

[spectre777]

Hello,

I had a corrupt HD and had to get a new one. After installing the new HD I then had to reformat my computer. Then after getting things, like games, that I already had on my computer I came to realize that there was no audio. I went to the control panel, audio area, and it claimed that I have no audio device. I know I have one because it is Realtek AC 97. I had the drivers and everything right before the reformat. I have tried to reinstall the drivers but it is not working. I even looked on previous threads in this very forum and found no solution that worked specifically for my computer. Here is some specs that may help:

Go here and install the System drivers ( Chipset ) then restart your comp, then install Realtek audio drivers
