Hi

I have installed XP Pro, to a SIS motherboard that has onboard sound AC97

I removed an old AMR modem and in bios disabled onboard modem.......AMR modem was a separate card my mobo has a LAN socket but no phone line socket.

2) In accessories/system tools I can run directX tool....clicking on sound tabs.....XP reports no errors but I have no sound.

3) I have no sound on boot up.

4) In device manager for DVD I have enabled direct digital sound for playing audio cds....and playing cd....opens media player but I have no sound

5) in Device manager .....game and sound.....properties for sound says enabled

6) In system tray I have enabled volume icon....volume is not muted......mixer shows master vol full not muted....all other volumes not muted except mic input

7) I only have have 3 sound 3.5 jacks......mic in.....line out....speaker (or headphone)

8) I have tried changing sound output from desktop speaker to headset

9) I have yet to install my new internal modem which is a PCI card.

Can anyone suggest what is going on.....do you need more info.

any suggestions will be greatly appreicated as I am at my wits end on this one.

cheers

silly question but is onboard sound enabled in the bios?

resolved....I did have bios ac97 enabled but elected to get a cheap pci card.

thanks for help tho
