Well if you have the audio ports on the back of the MoBo for sound
then your system definitely has it  =)  If your system does have
those outputs you may have to go into the bios and look under the on
board peripherals tab and verify that the audio function is turned on.

Its indeed strange but that was one of the first things I did!!! The Bios
doesn't seem to have anything on Audio functions! I've looked totally
through the bios a couple of times and I can't find a thing...

Just checked in mine (P4Pe-ver1007)

Advanced -> I/O Device configuration -> Onboard AC97 Audio Controller -> Auto | Disabled

and, since I was there :

Advanced -> PCI Configuration => USB 1.1 Controllers -> 3 Controllers | Disabled

If you set it to 3 controllers, the followin will alos appear :

Advanced -> PCI Configuration -> USB 2.0 Controller -> Enabled | Disabled


If it's off right now, Windows should find it after you turn it on
and save to bios. After the reboot Windows should try to load at
least basic drivers for the sound.  At that point you can go to the
asus site and dl the sound drivers for your particular MoBo and
install them.


I do agree that if the audio was turned off the thing wouldn't work. And its turned off from the looks of it. I just don't see where to turn it on at. Its not in the bios and I've looked in the P4PE User Guide and it doesn't say anything about audio except to talk a little about audio Codecs on page 1-9

Go ahead and install all of the other drivers from the utility cd
that came with the MoBo in the meantime.


Can't, nothing shows up on the CD. If seems that if the audio doesn't show up on the computer it also doesn't show up on the CD!!!! I built 15 of these machines and I loaded the audio up from the CD the first time around... Even in my users guide you can see where you load up the audio drivers and programs. Now this is missing!!! This is strange, isn't it?

I think I need to get with someone who has replaced a Asus mother board
while using XP... I'm wondering if I'm running up against a security issue.

I'm now really wondering WHY there isn't an audio control in the bios on
this MoBo?

I do thank you for your time and your response! I will figure this out
eventually!
I'd better, If this fails on some of the other machines we could be in some
trouble!

This is what's strange! My CD with all the utilities isn't showing
the utilities for sound?

I don't thing that the board's sound system it working at all! The
computer isn't spotting sound being on this system in any way at
all.  So I haven't been able to reinstall the utilities or drivers!

Strange, isn't it!!!

What I'm trying to figgure out is if XP has come kind of security
that will not allow me to replace the mother board, even if its the
exact same type of board. I've heard that Xp has security that keeps
people from just making ghosts of hard drives and then using them to
operate 15 or so like computers....

So I'm wondering if this new mother board is going to cause me some
problems.
