leewill,

So you enabled the onboard sound in the BIOS yet, the computer does not recognize the hardware?

Have you checked the device manager?

Otherwise, considering the age of the computer (which I don't know) you may just consider it a lost cause, and go buy a cheap PCI audio card.

J Search: Thanks for the reply. The computer is 5 years old, so I think I will look for a cheap sound card, and then donate it to some worthy cause, if I can get the sound OK.
