i tried the audio driver first which is a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 512V, Driver, MultiOS,
                                                       Multi Language, Multi System, v. SBLV-DLPAT-1-LA, A03

installed and it didn't work, im trying the chipset driver next i got the one in use from a gaming site.

thank you bytheway for your response, after chipset driver install it still did not work with windows media player 9 but it worked with the sys/accessories/ent/cdplayer  

i have also tried reinstalling the wmp9 the version of which i downloaded directly from microsoft website.  the single unknown "PCI Communication Device" remains.. i was able to install gunz NA which is just a free multi player game and no sound there either, i also couldn't use my mouse to turn around and got shot.. .



..but can move it side to side outside of game, used cd that came with wireless keybrd mse for driver that is for later tho i guess the mouse works fine outside game..

im also not sure which other drivers i should try that are given on that page the dvdcd rom maybe?
