My problem is this

Sound control panel says that there is no audio device installed no playback
and no
Mixer devie either
I have the latest drivers for my mobo and chipset i have tried uninstalling
the device and restarting it says that its there and working fine in the
device manager but in the Sound config its a no go.



I have a VIA 8235 chipset
 
i have done all of those things and its still a no go I dont know what the
heck i should do

I was using virtual PC the other day , I have Linspire installed on a
virtual drive.
I was trying to map the sound through to the emulated machine and it said
that I was using the wrong ALSA config and now its.

So i am assuming that it may ahve something to do with the Virtual Machine
twisting my config on the windows side
 
That is actually quite possible. I have had some odd things happen with
Virtual PC even though it isn't supposed to do anything to the Windows
side :(
 
The solution is described at
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1066427444 and I repeat the brief
version below (you need to reinstall the driver swenum.sys but first you must
create a .inf file for it):

"copy machine.inf from %windir%\inf to a temp dir
remove line 20: ExcludeFromSelect=*
add new hardware have disk (select the temp dir with the modified
machine.inf) and install the plug and play software enumerator"
