    So should those NVIDIA drivers be there? I thought I only had NVIDIA drivers for video.

    I would deinstall all of them and reinstall. Multiple driver instances is always a bad idea.

    I removed all the drivers including the NDIDIA ones. Not sure how those even got there since I got a new board. Reinstalled new drivers. Still no sound but meters are showing music and sounds playing. Checked speakers with my MP3 player and they work.

    Ok I solved it. Not sure what I did exactly. Can't say which one of these fixed it but here is the order. I unplugged the speakers. Rebooted. The rebooted in safe mode. Then rebooted. Went to device manager and removed under system devices: 2 high definition controllers. Under sound 4 high definition audio devices and 1 VIA high definition audio. Rebooted. Then windows installed some drivers automatically. Downloaded and installed the latest VIA HD audio codec driver v8.3.00.31.100524 Then booted up the BIOS. There was a setting for front panel audio type. The choices were HD or AC97. I changed it to AC97. Rebooted and the sound was back.

    Excellent. Good to hear you got it sorted out. Multiple driver instances are always a problem.
