After reinstalling windowsXP on my machine all sound has stopped. The only sound device detected was through a USB device, which I have never used.

Please help me find my sound driver. I've been to viaarena with the information I've gathered from Everest, but I'm at a complete loss in identifying what I actually need here.

Here is my summary report, I hope this will help you help me from going even more slightly mad. :thumbsup:

All the drivers for your board can be found here.

The VIA integrated audio controller uses a Realtek onboard AC97 codec. Install the VIA Chipset Driver first, then the Audio Driver, and the LAN Driver if you wish.

I pressed F5, and I'm feeling refreshed...
