hey every1, first post here. I just built my first computer so obviously I'm a kind of n00b at it.
Anyway, the most pressing problem: I have no sound at all except the annoying little motherboard beep. The 'sound and audio devices' properties cannot find the device at all. I have a
Gigabyte motherboard with whatever BIOS version comes with it- I haven't updated it but can't find which it is.
also a (very old) PnP MAG Innovision LCD display with built-in speakers. The monitor functions normally but apparently the PC can't find the speakers. I've also tried it with a pair of my mom's even older PnP speakers and they don't work either. Do I need new speakers for them to be compatible or is there a software solution?
Also, not as important as the sound but still worrying: I have 2 sticks of 2GB RAM but the mobo only recognizes 3GB. I also cannot find any settings for RAM in the BOIS.
Any help would be appreciated.
