Hardware conflict

[Man T]

Anyway I can find out my on-board sound card has hardware conflict with
other hardware?
Or they are using the same interrupt?
I check from Device Manager my on-board sound card is device 4.

In the Device Manager click on the View menu and select "Resources by
type" or "Resources by connection". There isn't really anything that
you can do about IRQ assignments, to manually change IRQ's you *must*
reinstall Windows and force the installation to use a Standard PC HAL.

Hi, I got these readings when I selected "Resources by type":
? (PCI) 11 Multimedia Controller
? (PCI) 11 Multimedia Video Controller
(PCI) 23 NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator
(PCI) 23 NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller

However, it does not look like the problem I am looking for.
I am looking for if there is any conflict of my on-board sound card conflict
because my on-board sound card does not work anymore.

Make sure that the sound controller is enabled (in the BIOS). Did you
try reinstalling the drivers?

Yes, I checked the BIOS when boot up that the Realtek97 Audio is enabled.
I also tried to reinstall the audio driver but no luck. The PC does not give
any audio at all for the last 4 days.
When I bootup the XP and shut down there is also NO sound.

Did you check the Sounds and Audio Devices settings in the Control
Panel? If this only started 4 days ago perhaps a system restore to an
earlier date might fix the problem.

I think that would be his simplest solution too.

In the Device Manager, what should I look for in the Sounds and Audio
Devices settings?
I noticed there are several 'speaker' icons.

Are you seeing any yellow exclamation marks in the Device Manager? Do
you have a speaker icon in the taskbar notification area?

No, I don't see any 'exclamation' mark in the Device Manager of the Audio
section.
Yes, I see a speaker icon in the taskbar notification area (bottom right
hand corner).
And also the 'Sound Manager' in the same taskbar notification area. This
'Sound Manager' is the program comes with ASUS motherboard.

Other than a System Restore to an earlier date there isn't much more
that I can suggest at this time. Did you run the Sound Troubleshooter
to see if it could find anything? Did you try reinstalling the Windows
Multimedia Components?

Maybe you should start a new thread with a subject header that better
describes your problem, a subject like "No Sound" may attract better
responses from other helpers.

A wireless card, or NIC can interfere without any conflicts listed. If
you have one of those, you might try a USB model.
