Problem installing sound on a MS-7187

[James_UK]

Hi, i have had to format my other pc and reinstall windows xp media centre which has gone ok apart from i cant get any sound, first the device manager lists a pci device which needs installing which when i search in the audio section of the drivers for this board it finds nothing, apparently my sound card is HD and needs a microsoft fix which is on the cd which is KB835221.

After installing that, it then tells me it wants to install a C-Media High Definition Audio Device, if i search again for the river it still finds ntohing, when i run the setup icon from the audio driver folder it says installing C-Media High Definition Audio Device then it wait for a few secs then says this device isnt present, i know it is as the audio was working fine before i formated

Does anyone know anything about this board or how i can get my sound working again please that would be much appreciated.

thanks

James

get the latest driver from the internet, try that, if that doesnt work try this....

go into the bios and disable the sound card and boot into windows, restart the computer and renable the sound card and then reboot back into windows, sometimes for some reason this can reset IRQ's and sort out wierd driver probs.
