I jumped too soon on reinstalling. What do you mean vanished? Provide more info. on what happen and how do you test on your audio files.

That your system lost sound doesn't mean the board is outdated or not ok.

You can ignore this. Only install drivers from the specific manufacturers website.

I think you cd is errored, I suggest that you should by an external sound card and install it on your PC and also install the driver cd of that sound card..........

I hope that the OP's sound card isn't trashed, in all likelihood it isn't.
