    Exclamation No Sound In Window$ ME

    I have a system that needed a motherboard replaced. That went fine, with one exception, NO Sound. It has been my experience that when a machine has an onboard sound card and you change the motherboard these darn AC97 drivers never work again. Device manager say every thing is ok yet no noise. Does any one have a solution other than Format c:

    Remove the sound drivers in device manager and reboot.
    See if the OS asks for drivers or finds them automatically.
    USE the ones included with the mainboard cd if it asks.
    IOW choose cancel and then start the mb cd.

    HOW did you reinstall?
    Did ME find and install
    or did you use the CD?
    Also, try speakers that you KNOW work.
    Under Sound Devices in Device Mgr what is listed?
    I am assuming that the sound worked alright before as well.
    Was the mb an exact replacement?
