Any ideas?

Try this one.

Realtek AC'97 Driver (Windows Vista / Windows 7) - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

If this doesn't work look in your control panel, check your sound devices etc.

I know this sounds like the first place you should look but i have done it myself where it has been disabled in my control panel, not having the icon in my system tray.

goto device manager and look for anything that may give you an idea.

Just installed it and nothing. Also looked in the device manager and nothing there. If I install the hd audio drivers it says "this device cannot start : Code 10".

I un installed everything to do with realtek and let win7 find and install them again. Getting no where fast. Its beginning to sound like a hardware problem.

 

[CLassicD]

do you know how to check your services?

check the windows audio service has started and its on automatic...

also have a look here for some troubleshooting

Is the sound enabled in the BIOS? Also, did you install the Intel Motherboard chipset drivers? On many PC's the drivers must be installed BEFORE installing sound drivers or the sound drivers will not install.

Now....I checked the bios but found nothing about the realtek or multimedia or sound or anything like that. Where would I get the motherboard chipset drivers? I will do a search but don't really know what I am looking for...lol.

In most systems there is an entry in the BIOS, to allow disabling it if an external sound card is used. It may be labeled "legacy audio". But, if there is none in your BIOS then it's always enabled.

The PC vendor should have Chipset Drivers, either listed as Intel Chipset Drivers or Motherboard Chipset Drivers. One of the main thing the chipset drivers do is define all the hardware devices on the motherboard, which includes the sound module (chip). You could also do a web search for "Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset" I found THIS at Intel, go through the instructions to verify it is for your system and then download and install it.
