New Computer with no sound? "HELP PLEASE"

[BF2_Joe]

Ok this Computer was built by licensed professionals of mine. I know it's not
a build issue, all I had to do is install Windows XP Pro on the computer. I had no problem with that. As Windows was setting up I rembered that you can plug you speakers into the slot and hear music on the windows setup. Well i didn't hear anything at all, so I thought humm maby all i need to to is she up the driver properly. Windows XP Pro, states "Your device is working properly." well I went "Google" and typed Windows sound drivers in and go to Mirosofts hame page searched there and could not find anything also went to ASUS.COM and couldn't find any thing there eather.
Im I missing a step in installing windows? I went to the driver and tryed to update online with it, it said it couldn't find anything at this time.

Simple solution get a sound card? Could that be a option? Only thing is I have to wate untill friday payday to do so. I would rather have a QUICK FIX for now so I can hear me enemy die.:laugh:

This is what I have hope it helps.

You might want to try and reinstall the driver, it should be on one of the cd's that came with the pc, i had a similar problem and that cleared it up 4 me.

Check it for viruses before you use it, and did you get a cd that came with your mobo? this might have a driver on it aswell.

Their audio forum specificaly,

Off the top of my head from that faq thread,

Q4: I have checked all my settings. My mixer is fine. My speakers are fine. The NV control panel shows audio being played but I still can't hear anything... help me?

A: Check the fpaudio1 connector on the motherboard. Although it is technically a connector some of those pins need to be connected via a jumper. This can also cause audio missing from single channels too at times. It should look like:

: : | . |
: = open/no jumper
| = jumper
. = single pin to prevent backwards hookup

(Thanks to xlr8shun for that tidbit from months gone by)

Q5: I have checked everything... mixer, fpaudio, muting, speakers - nothing gives my sound!

A: Some people have had trouble with grounding issues... try using your motherboard outside of your case or putting paper between teh motherboard and whereever it contacts anything.
