[quote=Missaim]Following you will find my Belarc Profile. I have truly tried so many things that I have read here and on other forums over the last 3 days and nothing has helped. I Have d/l my chipset from Biostar and the audio drivers separately and done a disable and then uninstall in my device manager as well as with all audio, games, etc.

I'm assuming you installed the chipset driver - then Restarted your comp - then installed the audio driver
Also that audio plugs are on the I/O plate and not in an Expansion slot - see here

you installed drivers from here
http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdownloa...el=U8668%20PRO
check these to see if Via is default audio
Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device
check windows audio service
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) from the tree / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply / click Start > OK Reboot
let me know you will have to check the BIOS
