Just installed this MB and I have No audio. It is enabled in the BIOS. Jumpers are set for rear audio.It's not a speaker or cable problem. If I install a sound card the audio works. I would like to get the onboard soud to work, if for no other reason than a learning experiance. This is my first MB replacement. ThanksAnd you did install the audio drivers from the MB CD? Does ANYTHING show in device manager?Thanks for the quick reply. I had not LOADED the audio drivers from the CD. I have now installed the audio drivers and the chip set drivers, but when the system boots up it goes to a 2nd screen that says "windows is STARTING up" and just stays with that screen displayed. I reloade the OS Win XP pro and was BACK to normal operation and reloaded the audio and chipset drivers and now have the "windows is starting up" screen. again.I got it. I just re-booted a couple times. Thanks for your help you got me going. Thanks. One more question should the small green light on the Mb stay on when the computer is logged off?The light usually just shows that it is plugged into the wall, whether turned on or off. No problem there. Glad you are up and running.
