Audio Driver for your board is here...

follow these inputs to get to the driver download....

1. Microsoft windows.
2. XP.
3.Audio.
4.Via AC'97.

Download and follow prompts on install, re-boot your machine to allow your system to recognise the changes.

Hate to be a pest but what do i put in the little pop downs? :confused

 

Lol thanks

 

HEy, its not working, I restarted the comp after downloading it but I still get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."

Any more tips?

 

Hey I figured it all out just wanted to thank you sooooo very much!!

 

Pleased that you found a solution to your sound issue, could you post back what you did to "work it out", as your fix may help other posters who have a similar problem.

Thanks
