According to your mother board manufacturer, this is your sound device:
SoundMAX Digital Audio System
The ADI AD1980 AC'97 audio CODEC is on-board to provide 6-channel audio playback for 5.1 surround sound and over 90Db dynamic range.

How do you know that it was this driver he deleted? (Vinyl AC'97 Audio (WAVE))
What OS are you using?

 

i looked at my control panel and it said the default was the Vinyl ac97 audio wave. if the device you said is rite can sumone direct me to it.

and i dont know a whole lot about computers includin wut an os is.

 

This is the link to your motherboard site and the drivers . Select the audio one, download and install it. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P4V8X-X

That driver is for XP.
Sorry....OS is your Operating System. (Win 98, XP, Vista, or Linux and others )
Let me know how it works. We may have to install the chipset driver, too.

 

k i'll try it.
im on XP.

 

You may need to restart you PC for it to grab hold after installing

 

ye i already did that and.. IT WORKS

THANKS SO MUCH MAN!!!
MUSIC FINALLY:cry

 

No prob... Glad it works

 

wait... theres another problem... it was working yesterday but now in my control panel it says i have now sound device and no auido and video playback device so now my itunes is not working.

 

Can you do a restore back to when it was working?
Did you install any new apps?
Did you use a reg cleaner?

Go back to your motherboard site, click other, download and install the Via 4in1 for XP (your chipset drivers), and restart.
Then do your audio driver.
