I have a
Intel DQ35MP desktop board with a
Core2Quad CPU and
Windows XP OS (up to SP3) but when installed with the
Realtek latest audio drivers downloaded from the Intel website there is
no audio device installed when checking in the Device Manager --> Sounds properties.
In the Device Manager however, there are no Realtek audio codes and stuff installed.
What could be the problem?
Please note that way back when I assembled this system in 2007 all are perfectly working until now that I decided to re-format the PC.
Tried the following:
1. disabled audio in BIOS and installed WinXP and then re-enabled audio in BIOS (as suggested in the Intel support)
2. installed Win7, to my surprise there is no
Sounds device in the
Device Manager
3. un-installed and re-installed the Realtek audio driver a couple of times already
Thanks in advance for any comments that might help solve the problem.
Cheers,
Reymund
