Sound Problems

[Sparticle]

Hey guys. This is my first posting on this forum.

I have a GA-7N400 Pro2 mobo. I was happy with it, but I couldn't get any sound out of the integrated AC97 sound card. I went through the entire Windows troubleshooter, and even sent several emails to Gigabyte tech support for help. I did everything they said, including re-installing Windows XP. Still no sound! I finally sent it back to Newegg for a replacement (I had to get the same mobo, because I waited too long to return it).

Well I got it, hooked it up, and guess what. I can't get any sound! Am I cursed?!
Is there anyone who has any idea what my problem could be?

Thanks in advance. Chris

Hey guys. Sorry for the double thread. I clicked to post it, and just then realized there was a preview option. I hit stop and then the preview button as quick as I could (I have dial up, so i figured it would work). Guess it got sent faster than I expected. Here I had a chance to make at least a decent first impression on you guys, but instead fouled it all up. OOPS!

1. Enable onboard sound in BIOS
2. Install sound drivers. You can get them from here: http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard/Support/Driver/Driver_GA-7N400 Pro2.htm

Sorry for the double thread. I clicked to post it

I'll let it slide .... this time -- welcome to the forums!

Look around in the BIOS for a setting If you dont install a real soundcard you shouldnt have any problems
