Trying to get onboard sound to work. Realtek AC97, everything's installed OK and as far as windows is concerned I am getting sound. Only problem is, I'm not. I've tried all the noob checks: my headphones are working properly etc.
 
Re:

Hello,

Have you checked volume control to ensure that the playback volumes are up, including Wave?
 
Yeah, like I said, I've done all the noob checks. Drivers are installed, only one soundcard, volume settings are fine. No idea what's wrong with it. WMP will play music files, but I can't hear them.
 
is the service turned on?

start->run->services.msc

go down to Windows Audio, make sure its started, and on automatic (not maunal or disabled)

Also, go to

Start->msconfig
click con the services tab, and make sure that Windows Audio is CHECKED..
 
You don't even need a dedicated PCI sound card, many people on TF with nice rigs use motherboard sound. It works fine, and it's a waste of a PCI slot, unless you use a 5.1CH setup.
