I've got this board for my retro rig, however I have never been able to get any sound output from the onboard sound card, despite it being detected by W98, and the drivers from the Asus site being installed and everything appearing happy. My speakers are connected to the green output, and there is nothing at all coming out of them. I tried the other ports just for testings sake, still nothing. I even tried the front panel connectors (internal header connected up too), still nothing. Tried other known working speakers too and still no sound.

I thought it might just be the jack's gone bad on the board, and luckily I found another similar board, Asus P4S800-MX SE, and gave this one a go. The board apparently was never used and just sat on a shelf somewhere for years, as it didn't have the right ports/socket for whatever he needed it for, and it certainly looked like it had never been used. So again, got everything installed, sound card drivers installed and everything looking good ....... no sound out of this one either .... which has me thinking something else is going on.

I don't have the original driver CD's with the P4S800-MX, and the manual says it comes with some kind of application for the sound, which the drivers on the Asus site don't come with. I do have the driver CD for the SE version ..... but they arrived with a crack down it and cant be read 🙁

Does anyone have an image of the P4S800-MX driver CD? Id like to give it a go installing the driver/application that came with the board to see if it makes any kind of difference 😢

I currently use a PCI bog standard sound card, which works, but notice a few games having strange problems, such as Max Payne ..... it will crash immediately before the games had a chance to start, unless I turn off sound in the launcher. R6 and R6 Rogue spear both have weird sound issues when listening to briefings, and CD music just cutting out too, so wanted to try the on-board sound to see what difference if any it made.

I did buy an Audigy2 ZS, but my board flakes out with that installed, so much weirdness going on. Card works great in my XP machine though.
