GA-K8NXP-9 - Loss of sound!

Hello All

I have just built a new PC based on the GA-K8NXP-9 motherboard - everything
was working a treat.

All of a sudden the sound does not appear to work at all. When I try to use
the volume control on WinXP 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.

Any ideas what I should be looking for?

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

Mike Clements

Any ideas how I should proceed?

 

Hello All

I have cracked this one myself!

I installed the latest F5 BIOS and it reset the AC97 AUDIO to DISABLED.
Sorry for being so slow but this may affect other users.

I would also like to mention that Nvidia's iTune software now works.
AlsoGigabyte's EasyTune now has the Smart Fan button highlighted.

Hope this info helps.

There should be na option in the BIOS to re-enable AC 97'.
