based on the info you have provided , that is the correct driver for the onboard sound chip.

remove the pci card , then start up in safe mode and remove any duplicate devices , then run the driver install.

have you just changed the m/board , and reconnected your drive to a new board?

Well i dont know whats up not..Its still showing the SB live installed but It really not there...Any ideas before i try those drivers you gave me ?

1:was it just a motherboard change ,using the same windows instilation

2: have you been in safe mode and deleted "phantom" items?

3: is there a sound blaster card in it now? , if so remove it

4: when you have done 2 and 3 then install the supplied driver

1)fresh format..
2)SB card is not it there now
3)did safe mode deleted SB live devices
4)changed bios to optimal preformance
5)still getting same problem...expect i dont even see the AC97 under device manager..Thinking of doing a format ..anything else ??
