Sound issues

[Comdot]

Hi everyone. I recently noticed my motherboard sound wasn't working, probably due to static discharge when I accidentally touched my mobo. I've ordered a Sound Blaster XFi Platinum. Until that arrives, is it possible to bypass my onboard sound and get my CPU to process the sound? Software sound? I need this to work through Windows applications e.g. itunes.

thanks in advance

no. your cpu already process the sound

not my onboard sound? doesn't my mobo hardware process the sound? i'm wondering why i have no sound...

and my comp keeps crashing due to 'machine check exception'...

are there drivers i need to install.

-thanks for the wisdom tho.

check in device manager to see if you have a driver. onboard cards uses the cpu
