No SOUND!! A8N-SLI Premium (built-in)

Help!!

I've already reinstalled the drivers twice.... nothing.

I've tried plugging into all the different outputs.... nothing.

I checked the jumpers for the front-panel audio, they are all there!!

I installed BIOS V.1006 last night... still not working!!

I hate to ask you, but is the thing on mute?

 

[FlyBono24]

No. I updated the chipset drivers last night as well, and installed the audio drivers again... still no luck.

Are the speakers on? Is the volume up?

Perhaps you have a stray standoff in the location circled in this image. Some mobos have a hole there, some don't.

Yours doesn't. So if there were a standoff in the case in that location, it could short stuff out on the mobo's underside. And your mobo's audio circuitry is smack dab in that location.

Interesting info.... but nope.... I put all the spacers in myself to coincide with the motherboard.

I'm using WinXP Pro.... when I was installing the audio drivers from the disk, it said it "has not passed the Windows Certification Test" or something like that.... I clicked "Continue installation"...

Are there updated drivers available? When I went on Asus' website all I could find were the 64-bit Windows versions...
