Brian: Thanks for responding. The motherboard is an ECS 945P-A, ver. 1.1.
Win XP Home Ed. w/SP2.
I have tried plugging my speakers into all the audio jacks just in case.
None of them works.
I did not uninstall drivers from within Safe Mode. Does that make a
difference? (Apparently so or you would not have mentioned it.)
The device is listed under the Audio tab in the Default device dropdown list.
I did try searching the ECS website under my mobo model number. I didn't
find anything having to do with sound.
Thanks again, I appreciate your time.

I recently replaced my motherboard. The new one has on-board sound which I
can't get to work. I know, everyone will say to install drivers and make
sure they're the latest. I have done that several times. I tried the
drivers on the CD that came with the mobo, and also downloaded the latest
drivers from the ECS website.
You mention the mobo manufacturer yet not the model.
I have tried the Win XP sound troubleshooter.
You mention XP yet not the version.
I have seen the fix on that Kelly's site that shows how to make sure Windows
sound service is "started", but it already was started. I also tried the
other two "fixes" listed on that site, to no avail.
I have made sure the on-board sound is enabled in the BIOS.
I have tried disabling the sound, uninstalling all sound drivers, then
re-enabling it and re-installing the drivers.
Did you uninstall the drivers from within Safe Mode?
I have tried other speakers, still no dice. I have tried the speakers on
another device and they work.
Possibility the mobo may be defective or the plugs/jacks color codes shouldn't
match, they are swapped around with some spearker types and mobos.
In Device Manager, it says the device is installed and working perfectly,
but it's not.
Just because it says so doesn't mean it is.
The only clue Windows gives that something is wrong, is that
the Device Volume and Speaker Settings areas in the Sounds and Audio Devices
Properties window are greyed out.
Was the device listed under the Audio tab in the Default device dropdown list.
(You would think that this would point to
a specific problem, which Microsoft could put in the Knowledge Base. However
I have scoured it and found nothing.)
It may be a specific problem but that doesn't mean it's an MS fault, a quick search
on the ECS support site produced many Audio issues for various reasons.
Check their support site for your model to see if they have an article in their KB:

Any help would be appreciated.
