Really Odd Problem

I have an old D845GVSR Intel Desktop Board running windows 2000 professional... I have installed all the necessary drivers but I can NOT get the sound to work, except for when I put a cd into the cd drive, its an old cd drive with a headphone socket, it can play the cd music from that, and it can even be controlled with media player on the pc, its really weird but I can not run the nomal sound through normal input sockets :/
 
There may be an audio cable running from the CD drive to the motherboard inside the computer - try unplugging it. Older computers use that cable.

Just removed the side panel... no cables from the the CD to the MOBO except IDE and Molex. There are Audio Codecs in Device Manager but no Realtek Sound Card...
 
Bro...Just install Windows XP SP3...XP will work properly for audio driver..

What it was is that I had forgot that I had turned audio off in BIOS, since at the time I had no speakers and needed it to bleep for notification. I dont have a licence key for XP :/
 
There is not a dang thing wrong with windows 2000 as long as you don't need the most modern programs or games.

And if it helps ecliptic your not the only one to get caught by BIOS features before. I went 2 months with no sound on a IBM A20m before I figured out that it was off in the BIOS.
