Hi guys and girls
Got this annoying issue i cant get to the bottom of
My PC that i am using at the moment is way out of date, but it sorta works for what i need it for,lol
I recently installed another motherboard,as the old one broke, also fitted a new graphics card
pretty sure drivers are up to date and installed
Problem is, i have no sound from the main PC functions, no clicky sounds,no facebook poker sounds,lmao, if that makes any sense
I can get sound out of the speakers,but only from when using windows media player,and thats
checked in control panle,as far as i can see,its all turned on
I can only get music however from using the blue/pink jack port, not the blue

Do you have a green port?
Blue is usually a line in and the pink is usually for a microphone.
If you go to the control panel. There is a place to setup the sound. If you click on that it should display a list of all the sound devices. Try configuring the sound.

Are you using Microsoft drivers (generic) or drivers specific for your motherboard?

O.K. Hursty, I have realtek '97 also, go to the bottom and click on the speaker icon, bring up all of the volumes you control and see if they are muted or turned down. other than that click option and preferences and enable the other volumes you need to control. Now, I don't know if you did this yet or not, but hope it helps.

Somethings you could check.
Go into the bios and make sure that the onboard sound is enabled.
Press the windows key and break. Open the device manager. There you can check to see what sound controllers are installed. It should say if it is working properly or not. Here you can check what driver you have installed (properties, driver tab). You many want to update or reinstall the driver (it isn't working now can't hurt to try).
Plug your speakers or headphones into the green connector (should be labled headphones or speakers) on the back of the computer (assuming there is probably ones on the front). Sometimes restarting with the sound properly plugged in can help.
Do you have amplified speakers (do the speakers have an independent power source)?

(Done that, all combinations, i can get sound outta facebook poker (as an example) if i turn the volume right up on the surround kit and set the config of the ac97 to 5.1, even though i only got 3 speakers (2 small,and 1 sub), the volume is very very low)

yes
I am thinking of getting a new soundcard for the spare PCI slot
cheers the replies so far

Buying a new sound card is probably the way to go.
The only thing we didn't test was the speakers themselves.
When you configure speaks in Windows XP does it have an option to test the speakers by playing a sound?
In Vista and Windows 7 you configure, select you configuration and then test. It then plays a tone through each individual speaker. I don't remember if XP does that or not.
If it does did you get sound at that point? Everytime you gave an example you refered to applications playing sound.
