There could be a problem with the actual audio circuit (which is built in I believe, not sure) on the motherboard itself or the audio has been disabled in the Bios. Reboot your computer and access the bios software and check to see if it has been disabled. If so, enable it and save changes and exit. If not, the chip itself could be defective, you could simply buy a third party audio card and install it in an open slot on your motherboard.Follow the manufacturers installation instructions and Install the drivers that came with your card, (after booting up your OS), and that should take care of your problem. Good Luck!!

Try this driver from Cnet and make sure you have DirectX8 or a later edition

Windows 7 is an beta version. you cant find drivers for that beta version yet

Good luck to you

After downloadiing them follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers.

You can also do it through your Device Manager console.
