Success !!

Many thanks for all the input - I downloaded 'Everest'
which told me the Audio Device was : SiS 7012

A google search put me into the required Manu site (not the motherboard one
I had tried)

a quick 3 mg download later followed by a reboot and hey presto the media
players now work !

Nice to be working with sound again !

Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

Not necessarily,

Many people had different ideas - was I not to respect their ideas and try
them also ?

So happens your idea worked for me- for which I am grateful.
