1) Check to see if the problem is the Power On switch, or the Power Supply, first.Use a multimeter on the two wires coming from the Power On switch.Perform a continuity test of the switch.How?An economical multimeter can be purchased, for as little as $8 to $12. Available in a multitude of stores. An auto parts store is but one example.Make notes, and a drawing as to where those two wires go, on the Front panel header, on the motherboard. Then disconnect the two wires, and hold them in your hand.Set the Function knob of the multimeter to OHM's. (1K, or 10K)Touch the Positive (Red) probe lead of the multimeter to one wire.Touch the Negative (Black) probe lead of the multimeter, to the other wire.Press the Power On switch. (Button)You should see a brief reading on the multimeter scale. (Or readout if the multimeter is digital)It is brief because the Power On switch is a Momentary Contact Switch.No reading? Bad ATX power on switch,http://www.directron.com/atxswitch.htmlGood reading? The Power Supply may be bad.Test the three main voltages coming from the Power Supply.[NOTE*The Switched-Mode Power Supply, (SMPS), in your computer, is a power converter. It converts AC electricity from your home, or business, into three LOW DC voltages.The shock hazard is IN the Power Supply's case. Not from the low DC voltages it produces ]A) 3.3 Volt power railB) 5 Volt power railC) 12 Volt power railTest at the 20-pin ATX main power cable's connector,http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_Socket_754/K8VX_SE/Photo, shows the white, long 20-pin ATX main power cable connector, on the motherboard. No power cable plugged in.Two rows of 10 socket holes.(Above the blue Heatsink that sits on the Northbridge chip )This is a general example of a 20-pin ATX main power cable, and it's respective connector on the motherboard,http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain20Power cable plugged in as shown in the right photo.I suggest using a straightened out paper clip, and sticking it down in the socket for the power wire.This is for the Positive (Red) probe lead of the multimeter, to touch to.First voltage power wire check:The multimeter function knob is set to DC Voltage. If just a symbol, the symbol is a dotted line, over a solid line.IF there is more than one DC Voltage scale, for the Function knob to be set to, set it to the 0 - 50 Volt scale. The straightened out paperclip, will go down into the BACK of the 20-pin ATX main power cable's connector, RIGHT NEXT to the Orange wire.Has to go down far enough, to go past the Orange insulation of the wire, and TOUCH the metal terminal down in the bottom.[Looking at the middle photo, you can see the tips of the metal terminals I am referring to.Uninstalled, and end not crimped over the wire's insulation, this is what they look like,http://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0002081202_CRIMP_TERMINALS.xml&channel=Products&Lang=en-USLeft side shown, crimps over the insulation of the wire.The far right side is what you are seeing the tip of, in the middle photo of the Playtool link ]You can use ANY of the Orange wires you see. ALL are 3.3 Volt wires.The Negative (Black) probe lead of the Multimeter, touches ANY Black wire. ALL Black wires are Ground wires.(Straightened out paperclip, also goes down in the Black wire's socket hole )Put the straightened out paperclips in the appropriate socket holes, then plug the Power Supply into power. Press the Power On button, and start the Power Supply.On the DC scale of the multimeter you should be reading VERY close to 3.3 Volts.Good?Go to ANY Red wire. ALL Red wires are 5 Volts (DC)Positive (Red) probe lead of multimeter to straightened out paper clip, down into a socket hole, with ANY red wire.Negative (Black) probe lead of multimeter to straightened out paperclip, in ANY socket hole with a Black wire.Reading should be VERY close to 5 Volts. (DC)Good?Go to ANY Yellow wire. ALL Yellow wires are 12 Volts. (DC)Reading should be VERY close to 12 Volts. (11.5 to 12 Volts)ANY low reading means a bad Power Supply.Primer:1) If ALL of the LED lights were on at once, they would use less than 1 Watt of power.2) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts of power.3) A typical Processor can use 51 to 125 watts of power.From your brief diagnoses it looks to be a bad Power Supply.barely enough to light the green LED light on the motherboard.Not enough power to even spin fans, much less turn the Processor on.Power Supply checks out?Perform a visual check of the Electrolytic Capacitors on the motherboard. Look CLOSE, and you may need a light, and magnifying glass.http://www.capacitorlab.com/visible-failures/index.htmCapacitors on the motherboard are used as Filters, and Voltage Regulators.The one's used as voltage regulators, are in the motherboard voltage regulator circuit.Some of the one's used in the motherboard voltage regulator circuit, regulate voltage for the Processor.A Processor MUST have a steady, 'clean', supply of Voltage, and it MUST be kept within a very 'tight' tolerance range. Cannot be too much, or too little, or BIOS will not turn the Processor on. (Or if on, will not keep it on)That's an old motherboard. Could be bad capacitors, but I'm more willing to bet on a bad Power Supply.For additional questions please post in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette

Right click to reinstall drivers or uninstall click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers make sure you have selected the (((appropriate speakers))) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there also click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar if his does not fix the problem

have you tried this control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer make sure you have an earth ******** before touching any parts inside your computer hope this helps

You can find drivers another way with device manager and a site called pcidatabase.com.

See here for more information. Don't use driver finding software unless you really have too. Some are very shady.


Good luck.

Delete the drivers you installed and go to Windows Update > Optional. Usually there are all the missing drivers and you can download them. If not download this driver, and extract it to any folder you want. Right click on Computer > Manage > Device Manager. Locate the sound card, it will probably have a yellow question mark in front of it. Right click > Update driver, Browse and select the directory where you extracted the driver.

You can download the official drivers for your audio/video/lan, etc from the official ASUS website.
Specifically here: http://usa.asus.com/Product.aspx?P_ID=lzDXlbBVHkdckHVr
There you select Download / Audio and select the file.
