My audio isn't working!

Your Asus mobo came with a disk of drivers, please use that disk and find the audio driver or drivers and install them from this disk. After this is done please re-boot system and test for audio. After this then you can go to device manager and select driver update from the audio device and have windows find the latest driver or with the name of the device and driver version you can go to the manufacturers website and search for latest or just leave well enough along with the provided driver on Asus disk!

i bought this computer from garage sale. it did not come with a disk

Found on another site:

1. OPEN YOUR "CONTROL PANEL"...THEN OPEN "HARDWARE AND SOUND"
2. LOOK FOR AND CLICK OPEN "DEVICE MANAGER"
3. SCROLL DOWN TO '' SOUND,VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLER''
4. RIGHT CLICK "SOUND VIDEO AND GAME OPTION"...THEN AN OPTION WILL COME UP SAYING..."SCAN FOR HARDWARE CHANGES"...CLICK IT AND HEY PRESTO...YOUR SOUNDS AND VIDEO AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING!

Another possible solution: YouTube - Solution to No Audio Output Device is installed

this brought me to the installation of the driver again and in the end, it ended up with "driver software was not succesfully installed."

NOt to alarm you or anything but, do you see a pattern here? :O

Ok, this is the main Asus Support site but since you don't specify whether you have a 32 or 64 bit version I can't continue. It seems your board does not have Win7 drivers but I have to assume that Vista 32 or 64 drivers should suffice.

Download, install and restart your pc and hope for the best

oh i see, dw i'm gonna throw my computer out, its getting old, i'm getting a new one tomorrow.
