    Is the sound card integrated into the motherboard? If so, go to the motherboard manufacturers web site and see what drivers they have available - they should have some kind of explanation for each product (as long as it isn't too old) so that you know which driver you should use.

    I'm pretty sure that will work. Try to install it. The worst that could happen is you still don't have sound, in which case you can simply uninstall it.

    I had the same problem with a friends computer after we formatted. We ended up downloading the motherboard drivers from their site, which solved the problem. Windows searched for the device but couldn't find the right drivers.
    You could try to delete the sound card, and then rebooting to see if it can fix itself on the web.

    My Soundcard is gone(contd..)

    Aaah.. I tried that under "Sound, game controllers" I have only these items listed "Audio Codecs", "Legacy Audio devices", "Microsoft MPU....","Legacy Video Capture devices","Media Control devices","Video Codecs". Though I installed again the alc210a, the driver is not shown there.. what do you think might be the problem. I also looked at Bios and my audio AC97 is enabled. I tried repairing my OS but in vain...
    Actually I had to reply to my earlier thread...I didnt notice that I clicked <New thread>... sorry for that

    Re: My Sound card is gone!

    I found this link, which might apply:

    http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/viaac97.html

    but it isn't for a SIS board, it's for a VIA.

    I looked again with SIS, and found this page:

    http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/21...-download.html

    Hope it helps.

    Re: My Sound card is gone!

    Aah... I'm sorry.. after lots of search, I found the Chipset cd for my motherboard it says BioStar M7TDA. and the Audio is ALC201 Avance AC97 Audio. However when I try to install the Onboard Audio from the CD, it says "n board Audio Chipset Not Exist!" But I can see the chipset... do you think the Chip is gone?
    Thanks

    did you try to delete the sound card and all of its driver? reset your computer, win xp might just sort itself out.
    i had that problem once on my other computer
