I'm out of ideas. I just swapped out my Gigabyte motherboard (model
no. 8IK1100 ver 1; blown capacitor) and replaced it with the newer
Version 2 model of the same motherboard.
Now, Windows XP Pro (Serv Pack 1) doesn't recognize the onboard sound
chip (Realtek AC97) at all. All else is normal.
I've tried loading the drivers again (latest from the Web), but it
doesn't fix the problem. The drivers on the CD don't t fix the prob
either.
What worries me most... the PC doesn't seem to realize I have the
onboard sound chip at all - when I open up the 'Sounds and Audio
devices' control pannel in WinXP, the AC97 sound chip isn't even
listed as an option. I've also tried 'Detect New Hardware' - still no
go.
Any ideas? I had no problems with the previous ver1 mb.

(Fyi, I have another sound card in the machine. It's functioning
normally - it's a Hammerfall PCI sound card (not Soundblaster
compatible; it's used for professional multitrack recording & is not
designed to playback basic computer audio like games & mp3s, etc.)
