hi i reformatted my computer not to long ago and the sound worked just fine for about a week after and then it just stopped. the speakers work just fine. but nothin comes out of em when i play music on my computer. also when i am using msn messenger is does a beep sound when someone sends me a message. the beep sound is exactly what it does when its doing the POST when booting up the computer. i uninstalled the sound drivers and then reinstalled em to see if that was the problem and it didnt fix anything.

when i open volume control it says

" there are no active mixer devices available. to install mixer devices, go to control panel, click printers and other hardware, and then click add hardware.

this program will now close"

i did that and it didnt detect any hardware. im not using a sound card its just a sound port on my mother board. its a asus k8n motherbaord with geforce 3 chipset. thanks

Have you updated your drivers? That possibly could be a reason.

Get the latest motherboard updates for your system.

edit: spelling mistake

Did you try the original drivers that are on the motherboard setup disc?

To big for a CD or DVD? You could upload them to RapidShare the download them after the format. If two computers are networked, you could also transfer them that way.

Make a compressed copy (ie zip/rar) file and then try and transfer that from the Shared Folder.

Why does that all sound like a byproduct of some sort of "denial of service" virus.. Not finding mobo hardware and not allowing network file transfer. Sounds like the unidentified thing I was fighting against last week... I think a good virus and malware scan might be in order before transferring/backing anything up.
