My sound was working fine on win xp home sp1 until I upgraded to win xp home
sp2.

The device driver shows it is installed and working. I installed the driver
for the audio from the motherboard disc.

But I still don't get any sound.
Motherboard: Asrock 775VM800, P4M800 chipset
sound device: c-media ac 97, in the audio properties of this device, it says
c-media WDM audio device and that it is working fine. The model # of sound
device is CMI 9761.

I could not find the driver on driverguide.com.
Still no sound.

Did you not think to check your mobo site for updated drivers?

yes, i did. I just downloaded an audio driver but it didn't work. Should I
also download a new bios if there is one?

Don't try to reflash the bios...

try uninstalling the device then reinstalling it with the latest drivers


btw: have aw check in the bios to be sure that on-board sound had not been
disabled

Hi, thanks for your help, what is the "aw"?

Oh

that was just a typo I meant to write to have a look in the bios

while the computer is booting up you should see a message such as "hit
<del> to run setup"

then be sure that on-board sound did not get disabled

Hi, Ok. I checked the bios. It was set to "auto" so I set it to "enabled".

I'm not sure if I need to update the audio codec too. It's supposed to be
cmi9761A. But the device manager says the audio codec is "standard system
devices". The south bridge is a VT8237R. I found a file that didn't have the
"R" on it. But that driver didn't work.
