Question can't install sound driver

I just built a puter with a biostar mobo (model #mcp6p-m2). I installed the driver for my onboard audio and when I rebooted it wasn't working. I downloaded and installed the driver from there website and it still doesn't work. It goes through the whole installation process and says it was sucessful and to reboot. When I do there isn't a driver for my audio. What the hang could be causing this? i am running XP SP3.

In device manager does it have yellow triangle and exclamation mark on your sound card?.. I recently had an issue with vista where the same exact problems were happening. Complete install tells me to reboot but nothing working. Anyways, after 1 week of trying to resolve the problem trying driver cleaning software and all sorts, I just reinstall Vista and now it runs perfect again..

Hello,

Try removing your driver first with Driver Cleaner Pro then installing the newest versions.

Tired of losing drivers when you reinstall XP?

Cheers,
Mak

I called Biostars tech support. I had to download the latest driver off of realteks website. Seems like to me that there Biostar's website isn't offering the latest versions. Thanks anyway.
