u should install sata driver while installing win xp and sata drivers are in built in win 7

What is your OS? go to http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/ECSSearch.aspx?menuid=0&lanid=0&keyword=PM800-M2 and download your driver.

Most probably the audio/sound devices drivers are not properly installed or check your CMOS Bios to see the on board devices Audio devices is "ENABLED"!!

Check your "Devices Manager" to confirm whether your Audio devices for the motherboard is properly or correctly installed. Ensured that your speaker is properly plug into the correct output port.

If you do need the Audio drivers for your ECS motherboard, you can download the from the ECS Site.

Hope it helps.

you will find all the divers for you motherboard at the link above. install all the drivers : the one for the chipset first and the others after. If the board is ok and nobody had played with the jumpers on it you should get your sound.

reformat means that you have to install an fresh copy of your operating system to the hard drive. if you do have a cd of your windows installer like windows xp, just put it in your cd drive and restart your computer and boot from that cd. be sure to erase the partition that has your corrupt operating system installed ok to replace it with the new xp that your going to install...

that wasn't to hard was it?
