821783 2009-10-18 11:31:00 I am so far unable to get the sound to work. It's all greyed out in control panel. I have now upgraded the bios and tried everything but no luck so far. What else can I try. I am running XPSP3.
It says no sound card installed when I run DXdiag.

2: Check the device manager (Control Panel | System | Hardware tab | Device Manager.

Look at any yellow exclamation items, probably named 'unknown multimedia' or sound or audio device or something like that.

821785 2009-10-18 19:37:00 You need the drivers. They're here (uk.asus.com). Click on download, then select XP. The BIOS doesnt have anything to do with the sound (well its got the option in it, you still have to install the drivers for the sound) Speedy Gonzales (78)
821786 2009-10-18 19:48:00 Use your motherboard CD to reinstall the drivers. Blam (54)
821787 2009-10-18 23:11:00 Was it working and then you put on SP3 and then it stopped? CYaBro (73)

I never tried with XP SP2. Could that be part of the problem?

Try again, it can be busy. You should get it now. I just tried the link and it works

821791 2009-10-19 09:05:00 I had already tried to install that download but I get an error message:
The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware.
In device manager there is just one warning sign beside Other devices, PCI Device.

Tried all that but no luck. The MB was previously used in a linux server. Could there be some MB setting or jumper that needs checking?
