Hey everyone, I'm new to these forums just came across here today. I'm somewhat computer literate but I have come across a problem which I can not solve so i turn to the experts.

Here goes: I HAVE NO SOUND. Under device manager in the sounds subcategory I have a yellow '!' next to the multimedia audio controller.
In control panel under the 'sounds' category i have 'no audio device'

My machine:

Manufacturer : Powered By AMIT
Mainboard : Asus CUSL2-C
Chipset : Intel i815E/EP
Processor : Intel Pentium III EB @ 866 MHz
Physical Memory : 384 MB (3 x 128 SDRAM )
Video Card : RADEON 9500 PRO / 9700
Hard Disk : ST3802110A (80 GB)
DVD-Rom Drive : SONY DVD-ROM DDU1621
Monitor Type : SONY - 16 inches
Network Card : Winbond Electronics Corp W89C940 NE2000-Compatible Ethernet Adapter
Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2
DirectX : Version 9.0c (May 2005)

Audio device:
Device Audio : ES1370 AudioPCI

This info is from PC wizard so I assume it is accurate.


I have the onboard audio controller turned off in the Bios.
Additional information about the card:

creative 5507
5507000101
T N8D 0779 TW
9815 HKG
C139898 SBPCI 128 9831

This info i got off the card itself.

I've tried to find the driver on the winxp cd to no avail. I've also downloaded several drivers from driverguide.com, but either I can't find the right one or I'm doing something wrong or in the wrong order. The driver file i found on the above website is es1370wdm.

Appreciate any help I can get.
