well i have an asus mobo (A7v8x-x) and i had to reinstall windows on my box cause i had a power outage when i was upgrading to sp2 and when i went to repair xp it wouldnt let me so i just humbly reinstalled everything. except i can not find my mobo disk and had to look up all the drivers on the net. i believe i have everything that i need but none of them seem to fix my sound issues. i have searched the threads and seen some of the answers given in this case but none really fit my postion.

yellow exlamation points are as follows

multimedai controller
and
multimedia video controller

i am not to worried about the video one cause i have a separte ati radeon 1300 and it works fine. but i installed the soundmax file on the asus website for the xp version i also installed the 4in1 pack but i am still without sound. i found a couple other files mentioned in some posts and tried to use them but one of them i am still clueless about file (a7v8xx08.awd) not sure what that one is for
any help getting my sound back on would be great
