I just need to know what to do so that the computer recognizes the on board audio. I went through device manager and it doesn't show up, when i click volume control it says " There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices go to Vontrol Panel, click Printers andOther hardware and click add hardware." that doesn't help.

If you had a sound card installed then the installer may have disabled the onboard sound in the bios
to get into your bios click on the f10 or delete key on some machines maybe f1 while booting up
once inside your bios look around for settings for onboard audio and click to enable
do not change any other settings if you are new to the bios as could cause problems

Hey Dude,
Many times you have to enable the onboard sound in the bios. If you put in a sound card, it will disable it.
Now, sometimes, the IRQ and DMA get stompted on by a modem. If you do not have an onboard modem, I would remove it. If you do, I would remove it from the device manager, reboot, turn on the onboard audio in the bios, reboot, and let the devices discover themselves. Other than that, and possibly a bad onboard sound card, there is not much more you can do.
oh wait, sometimes moving pci card slots helps. Some pci slots share IRQ and DMA numbers with onboard devices. Cheap, I know. You would only know that by reading the motherboad manual; not many do that. I am sort of a freak about that.

I had un-amplified audio gadget at abode, and that they did not produce however the slightest little bit of sound, even nonetheless I had all the quantity controls "pegged out". additionally examine your administration panel settings and the appliance settings that got here alongside with your sound card to work out if there is something set to "mute" or set too low. The settings to be concered with in abode windows administration panel are the quantity, wave, and CD.
