Well, I just totally reformatted this PC, ive done it loads before with no problems, although this time the sound card isnt working!

Although I have been messing about inside taking out and adding another hard drive, Is it possible to damage the sound from that area? Or should I contact where I bought the motherboard from for a replacement?

Oh and the sound is Realtek AC97, Pretty standard for lots of motherboards...

Also Ive lost the email with my FPS Creator serial key, should I email rick and ask him to resend the email?

The order is on a different account (with my Onetel email)...

Anyway thanks! If all else fails with the sound Ill buy a PCI cheap PCI sound card.

Thanks for any help!



EDIT:
Heres the error WMP spews up:


Also I tried to do the sound test in dxdiag.exe, but its blanked out and wont let me... :S

LOL!

Actually I will tell you this, every computer I have, I ended up rebooting the entire system with a clean windows xp on (So many adwares and errors with xp dang!)

Anyway, all my sound cards are screwed up

If you can, take out your sound card, turn on computer, shut down computer, input sound card again, this usually stops the sound card device and then restarts it.

Its not a sound card though as such, Sound is intergrated into the motherboard... ?

I really hope this doesnt result in a new motherboard, its allready been replaced once...

No, I don't believe it's your mother card at all, basically where you have formatted the drive, your sound card is no longer readable (It's like putting a usb camera into your computer, it won't read it without proper installation)

Yes I know, Ive installed the drivers etc!

Its not a removable sound card... This motherboard has onboard sound... and it usually works perfect after a re-format.

I found out donkey years ago when I had this problem that your motherboard has a switch that is stopping your sound card from working.

If you can find the correct download, you can get this switch, switched to work again!

I did find the software only it wasn't avliable (Noobs!)

DBAlex, fly over to www.driverguide.com and make sure you have the right drivers.

My onboard sound doesn't have the correct drivers on the winXP CD - it does on Vista though, so I've got used to having to search around for drivers. Expecially since neither soundMax, asus or Via supply them.

Another thing, check your device manager (system properties, hardware) and see if the device is actually being recognised
