    yes i have but ill check throgh some more and hope it works the 6th time arround. ive been working on this for the past 5 days now and doing some researching on the problem but every time i go to a new place and read on the problem i get sent back to the beginning with nothing fixed. ill try downloading all the drivers to every program to my hp and see if that does everything confused

    Chances are you have already tried this
    but, just make sure you check the speaker cable plugs at both ends
    they are very sensitive.
    Wiggling the cable around and plugging/unplugging
    while you are playing sound should show if this is the problem

    Could even be the socket on the onboard graphcs

    Another obvious thing to check. Double-click on the speaker in the taskbar and make sure all volumes are set to high and none are muted.

    Have you tried getting the driver from real teks site? I have crappy realtek on board audio too and it wouldn't work with the drivers that came with the mobo or from the mobo website. Went to realtek and all is well now... at least as well as crappy on board audio can be. Here is exactly what I downloaded based on the model I have (ALC880) and windows xp; (actually they have recently updated it so I will download the new one again soon. it is version number R1.57 for XP)
