I recently returned from a long vacation just to find that my sound card isn't detected (onboard realtek). I reinstaled my XP and same thing. Sound card wasn't detected in device manager, instaling drivers didn't help. I thought it may be fryed or something so I bought a PCI card. (CMI8738 6CH/4CH PCI Audio Chip). I pluged it in and surprise. Nada. Niet. Kaput. No sound device detected. Not in device manager not anywere. Installed the drivers that came with it...quiet pc is quiet still . The CmI8738 is working cause I tested it.
My mobo is GeForce6100SM-M2
I dissabled the onboard sound before I plugged in the Pci card.
