| 706462 | 2008-09-20 01:41:00 | I run Win XP and have lost sounds although all sound devices appear to be working properly. When I reinstall from the motherboard cd all works fine but upon reboot sounds are lost again. I get the message "there are no active mixer devices available. | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 706463 | 2008-09-20 01:45:00 | Have you installed the most recent drivers from the manufacturer's site? Are there any yellow !'s in Device Manager before and after the reboot? |

| 706464 | 2008-09-20 02:05:00 | No yellow !'s in Device Manager before or after reboot. Sounds work when I reinstall from motherboard CD but is lost again after reboot. I just reinstalled service pack 2 but no change. | bpt2 (6653) | ||

| 706467 | 2008-09-20 02:55:00 | Download the drivers from this link (global.msi.com.tw) and reinstall them. | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 706468 | 2008-09-20 03:27:00 | Done that. When I click on the NForce icon I get the message: Failed to initiate NVIDIA Audio Driver! When I use dxdiag I get the message that no soundcard is installed. | bpt2 (6653) | ||

| 706470 | 2008-09-20 05:16:00 | To test if its a hardware or software problem get hold of a live Linux CD, Boot from that - if you get sound from the live CD then its a software problem, possible driver conflicts someplace, if you still get no sound from a Linux CD - its hardware, Linux live CD's bypass the Windows OS. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 706471 | 2008-09-20 07:54:00 | Booted up with a live linix CD and sounds work ok. I cen get sounds to work when I reinstall motherboard drivers. I just lose this after a reboot when it does not initialise. | bpt2 (6653) | ||
