P4S800 on board sound problem?

[Jay Cee]

Friend built a comp around this great little board, running win xp pro.. He
is having trouble getting the on-board sound to work. I am unfamiliar with
this board, but is there something in the setup to enable/disable the
onboard sound? I am trying to help him over the phone and we could not find
it in the setup, but I am sure we are not looking in the right place.

also, it's worth asking if there are any known issues with this board
running xp pro and the onboard sound?

any input would be greatly appreciated.

1) Onboard AC97 Audio Controller [Auto]
(See AdvancedCI_Configuration:Onboard_PCI_Devices)

2) Place the two jumpers on the FP_AUDIO header.

3) Install a Soundmax driver version appropriate for an SIS
Southbridge with connected AC97 CODEC AD1980 (Analog Devices)

4) Plug amplified speakers or a headset into the lime colored
Lineout jack on the back of the computer.

I'm having a similar problem. The drivers are apparently working
fine, and the system thinks it's playing sound, but nothing is
audible. The speakers are in the right jack, the volume isn't muted,
the AC97 controller is set on "auto" in the BIOS, and I installed the
driver that was linked to earlier in this thread. But no sound. Any
more ideas?
