Onboard Audio not working

[CWiltfong]

I'm using an ASUS M3A76-CM, which has onboard VIA HD audio. I was running Windows XP and it worked just fine, Windows detected the drivers, and my headphones plugged into the back worked great for audio/mic.

After upgrading, even with the most recent drivers (v.7.3 and 7.4) nothing works. It's detected the device, but I don't get anything at all. I've switched headphones just in case, and no dice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My husband gets annoyed when I poach his machine for sound.

Thanks!

Have you checked you BIOS that the rear Sound Ports Are activated?

BIOS Setting

Just checked for onboard devices -- everything is enabled.

Is this a laptop or Desktop? And is your computers sound card happen to be sigmatel?

Neg on the Sigmatel

Desktop, and it's the VIA onboard audio that came with my ASUS motherboard. For a long time I ran a soundblaster card, but I finally got so annoyed with the piece of junk that I threw it out months ago. I was still on XP at the time. Would it just be easier for me to bite the bullet and get another sound card? I'm running out of PCI-E slots. :sarc:

I wouldn't give up just yet, from your description, it sounds like software, but i could be wrong. Haven't got anything in mind atm.
