How do i get it back to cure this problem? i cannot hear any audio from my speakers, and recieve messages saying i have no sound device installed.

I am a computer programmer from Visual Studio to MIPS processing on Playstation consoles and Direct "X" Programming on XBox console.
I have devoloped several multi-million dollar point of sale systems and know my way WELL around a computer. I just wanted to make sure people know that I am a well educated person when it comes to computers, with over 25 years of programming experiance.

My main soundcard is a top of the line SoundBlaserter X-Fi, Xtreme-Gamer(Fatal1ty Edition).

One day it just freaked out and sounded like it was having some sort of error with looping distortion, then it rebooted the computer. When it booted back up, there was no sound.

Went to audio device, no device was selectable and it would not let you choose a device.

So I went into my bios, enabled the onboard sound card.
It shows up in the Hardware Tab as being there and functioning properly, but you cannot choose it as an audio device.
I also have a very good, top of the line professional fireware soundcard called a FirePod. I hooked it up, it was listed as working fine in the hardware section, but I can't choose it as the main device, again I can't choose anything. The Firepod loads in Neundo and functions perfectly within the program, but Windows will not use it.

I am stumped. I can't figure it out.
So if anyone can figure out how to restore the sound and fix the issue without reinstalling the O.S., that would be great. It could be something simple I am overlooking, but I can't figure it out.
