Wanted to close the loop on this. I give up. I upgraded the BIOS,
still no sound. I then yanked all the PCI cards out, including the
graphics card. The DFI uses the Intel 845G chipset. After removing
the added AGP graphics card, I had to run the Intel software delivered
with the board to enable the 845G. I got the graphics card working,
but no sound still. That's when I gave up, and put all the PCI cards
back in. Unfortunately, now the onboard RealTek LAN is not working!
I think the 845G is blocking it somehow, and Control Panel -
Add/Remove Software refuses to delete the 845G driver. If offers to,
but if I click on the Remove button, it just flashes and stays there.

I gave the computer back to my friend (unfortunately, even less
functional that when he gave it to me.) Thanks again to Steven for
trying to help.

the winzip file, but it mentions a compatibility issue,=20
and then tells me I need the original CD for the sound=20
card. I don't have that. I don't really have time to=20

You *should* be able to download it from your motherboard manufacturer's
website.

What motherboard do you have?

Asus provides these drivers for the Avance AC97 sound chip.
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/SOUND/Avance/ (read the readme.txt
file for a description of the files so you can determine what you need)

Also make sure the sound card is enabled in your bios, or else the drivers
might not help.

>>| >>| I'm trying to help a friend get his newly
acquired hand-me-down
>>| >>| working. An HP case apparently has a
replacement DFI NB35-EL
>>| >>| motherboard with onboard Avance AC'97 onboard
sound. It is enabled in
>>| >>| the BIOS, and I've tried loading the driver that
came with the
>>| >>| motherboard, as well as a later one from the DFI
site and a much later
>>| >>| one from Realtek (linked to by avance.com). All
of them produce the
>>| >>| same result. No problems booting WinXP, but no
sound. I go to
>>| >>| Control Panel, Sound and Audio Device Properties,
and it says "No
>>| >>| Audio Devices". I go to the Hardware tab, and
select Realtek AC'97
>>| >>| Audio, and it says "Device is working
properly". I click the
>>| >>| Properties button, then the Properties tab. I
click the plus sign
>>| >>| next to Audio Devices, and it expands to Realtek
AC'97 Audio. I
>>| >>| select that and click Properties, and finally it
says "Status: Driver
>>| >>| is enabled but has not been started". What am I
supposed to do to get
>>| >>| the driver started? Thanks for any pointers -
I'm stuck.
