OK. Present under sound, video and game controllers are:
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Video Codecs
Realtek AC'97 Audio
The first 5 don't have a resources tab. All report that "this device is
working properly". The Realtek has a resources tab that reports "no
conflicts" in the conflicts list. There are no "other" or "unknown" devices
anywhere else in device manager.
Is it possible that one of the millions of games this user has installed
could have messed with the audio? Also, is it possible that this is a virus?
I ask because I think it's wierd that:
1 Realtek provides a recording device but not a playback device
2 I cannot connect to Windows Update (more on that in the Windows Update
newsgroup)
3 I could not update Norton Antivirus (which I've since removed from the
machine per the client)
4 I cannot connect to Trend Micro's Housecall
Thanks for the help.

What is present in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers?
Are there any "Unknown" or "Other" devices present in Device Manager? If
Yes, what is the Status in the devices properties and are any conflicts
reported under the Resource tab?

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.
