Sound Not Working

Still got the driver download that Ax238 directed you to? Install Away! then run your Ccleaner Then Defrag Then Run and post a fresh PCPitstop Full Test TechExpress Good going in HJT Forum.

i installed and at the end it says "sever, Driver not found, reboot your system and run this again"

Did you install the driver via Device Manager?

erm nope, how? just un zipped the file onto desktop and installed from there..

2nd question: Did you use the "install.exe" to perform the installation? If so, did you "Unzip" the entire download into a folder of its own prior to attempting the installation?

yes, i exctracted the file to the desktop (folder of its own), and used the setup.exe stupid move?

Not stupid. That's the way the manufacturer wants you to make the installation. I'll be right back.

ok.

Lochy,
I may be making a mistake, but when I do the search for your Audio Driver I find the one that Ax238 originally recommended: Audio, Version 5.12.01.3665 SoundMAX
(with the (5), not the (3)

Go here http://support.asus.com/download/download….SLanguage=en-us

and fill in the drop-down lists in the "General Download" section with the following values:
Select Product - Motherboard
Select Series - Socket478
Select Models - P4S800-MX
Click Search
Select the Drivers tab

Select the download appropriate to XP listed under Audio, Version 5.12.01.3665 SoundMAX

Download and install, in the same way you tried the other one.

Sorry Lochy, my suggestions seem to be getting you lost.
And now, I must leave for an away appointment here in town.
I will check back later.

Additional Suggestion:
In your downloaded Audio Driver Installation folder (where you unzipped the driver to your Desktop folder)
There is an option for Remove.exe <———– Consider Removing first and then try the install.exe again.

Or, Perhaps Ax238 will step in later.
