I have the cd that the motherboard comes with the msi cd. I put it in and there are no drivers for for the sound. I don't know where to get the drivers from and i'm to dumb to find the model number. Can someone help me?

Thanks

already found the RS482M-IL board; pointed to the autorun installer and noted the MSI download area. The checklist below focuses on the practical, verifiable steps that pin down whether this is a driver, BIOS/config, wiring, or hardware failure and how to resolve each case cleanly.

  • Enter the motherboard BIOS and confirm onboard audio is enabled. If the BIOS offers a front-panel type, set it to match the case header (AC97 vs HD Audio).
  • Use Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) to find the audio device. If it appears under “Other devices” or as an unknown device, open Properties → Details → Hardware Ids and copy the VEN and DEV strings; those identify the vendor and exact codec for the correct driver.
  • Remove any incorrect drivers first: uninstall the audio device in Device Manager and check “Delete the driver software for this device,” then reboot. After a clean reboot, install the matching driver package for RS482M-IL for the OS in use (MSI’s support area or the audio-vendor package).
  • Confirm Windows services: open services.msc and verify “Windows Audio” and “Plug and Play” are started and set to Automatic.
  • Test physically: try speakers/headphones in the rear green jack (bypass front-panel wiring), check front-panel header wiring, and verify speakers are powered and not muted.

Notes and cautions: installing both AC97 and HD Audio drivers together can create conflicts—always uninstall previous audio drivers before installing another. Network drivers named “Realtek” are for LAN hardware and are not audio drivers. If drivers and settings look correct but sound is still absent, boot a Linux live USB to determine if the audio hardware works outside Windows; if not, an inexpensive PCI/USB sound card is a reliable fallback.

Actually, the MSI CD does come with the sound drivers. Use the MSI autorun facility to install the drivers. It's the most painless way of driver installation.
