Hey all, i just built a new system using an Asus P4PE board. Everything worked completely fine and I was happy. Then last nigh ti pluged a old sidewinder gamepad into the gameport and it worked perfectly except my sound cut out! And I can't figure out how to get it back. Already tried uninstalling the gamepad and reinstalling the drivers to no avail. If I try to run winamp for instance I get the error "device not found" I'm pretty stumped.
 
Have you checked the settings in the bios to make certain that it didn't set the audio to disabled? I ask because it auto-detects audio and perhaps the game port controller conflicted with it and caused the audio not to be detected and therefore set to disabled. Did you check the device manager to see if the SoundMax has a problem or even shows up in the list? If it isn't there and you've made certain it's still on auto in the bios, then run the add new hardware wizard and see if it detects it or try installing it manually. Disabling the game port in the bios if you didn't already may help also.
