Try a re-install of the original Drivers from the MBoard driver CD...
New drivers are not always better drivers.

i have tried that also my sound came back ealier then i launched tf2 then i lost my sound so now this is puzzzling me

[patio]

TF2 ? ?
 I hate some acronyms because i'm simply not a gamer...however this leads me to believe it is in the game settings itself...

Specs are irrelevant if thats the game it happens in and the sound controls are possibly wonked...
Think about it.
