Sound Problem in Win XP

[Ryan]

Everything like that is enabled in the BIOS, I just can't
get the system to allow music to play. I've tried wiping
all sound devices clean from device manager, letting it
pick them up on it's own, and it still won't fine the
right ones. I'm thinking of just giving up and installing
another sound card.
