Boot to Safe Mode and Remove Any/All Audio/Sound devices listed in Device

Close out of DM.
Reboot and reinstall drivers.

Thanx for the response, Brian. I had tried this earlier and it didn't
work. Trying again, I unistalled the nVidia, and upon reboot, XP found
and installed automatically the Realtec AC'97 drivers. However,
Properties still shows no audio device. It does show a recording device,
but not a playback device. I'm stumped. Anything else I should check?

HP like many other OEM manufacturers are proprietary systems which have
modified setups for hardware/software. The Pavilion a320n uses the
Realtek AC'97 audio and Nvidia graphics.
You can find/obtain the latest updates as well as the original hardware
drivers and software installed:

I see many posts, but none that have addressed my problem.
A clients computer (HP Pavilion a320n - XP Home SP2) shows no sound
device in Sounds and Audio Devices Properties. I have:
Installed the correct drivers for the on-board sound (mobo: ASUS
A7N8X-LA )
Checked that there are no conflicts in device manager
Ensured that on-board audio is enabled in the BIOS
Ensured Windows Audio Service is running
Run full anti virus scans (AVG & Norton), Spybot and Adaware
Curiously, the audio tab of Properties shows the nVidia nForce Audio
Codec Interface for the recording device but "no playback device". In
safe mode, the audio tab shows "no recording device" and "no playback
device".
This is as far as I am able to go at this point. Not that these have
anything to do with the problem, but Norton live update will not
connect to it's server and errors out. Windows update will not connect
to the Microsoft site so I cannot update Windows. Otherwise, I have a
good internet connections. Safe mode with networking does not have
networking for reasons unknown at this point. I have been at this for
hours. Please help and thanks in advance.
