my builtin audio does not work after i reformat my hard drive

Hi Guys,

I reformated my hard drive and I installed all the drivers for the main
board plus any other periphals on the main board. I accidently installed the
wrong drivers for my builtin sound device from www.drivers.com. I uninstalled
it and reinstalled with correct one. I have C-media AC97 Media on
Viatechnology motherboard. The drivers are install properly but the sound
does not work. So i went to control panel and clicked on the sound applet and
it says there is no sound device. It does not make sense to me. I went to
device manger and there is no unknown device on there. All the devices are
working properly especially in the sound devices. Tell me what to do.
