    gumdigger - Welcome to the Board :)

    Does your motherboard also have an onboard sound chip and is this disabled?

    Is this a recent problem - any clue as to when it occurred?

    Have you tried reloading the motherboard chipset drivers - often include the sound drivers and/or the drivers for the plug in card which you appear to be using?
